ROOT CROPS 



Root Crops are easy to grow. They are, perhaps, the best of all vegetables for the home garden. 

 They grow closely together and produce the most food value per square inch. Root Crops contain 

 mineral salts and a high percentage of sugar and starch. They can be had throughout the entire 



summer and they can be e?sily stored for winter use. Root Crops are most popular because 



of their economy and great food value. 



With each Collection listed below we include the Burpee Leaflet on "How to Grow 



Root Crops":
