(See Color Plate Back Cover) 



Our selection of this highly esteemed variety is surely the 

 best for the private garden. We have discarded the types 

 with slim, long roots that invariably break in digging and 

 offer only a shapely, heavy-shouldered strain with its great- 

 est girthat the crown and gradually tapering to a small root. 



For winter use lay the roots horizontally in small boxes 

 packed with ordinary garden soil and store them in some 

 convenient place outdoors, away from snow or rain. Frost 

 improves their quality.
