consumption during the winter and early spring, a few brief hints for 

 their preservation is necessary. Take up the roots in November, cut 

 off the tops within an inch of the crown. Those for winter use can be 

 stored away in a cool cellar or pit, and covered over with a few inches 

 of dry earth. For early spring use, pile up in conical form, out of 

 doors, cover carefully with long straw, and finish by earthing up, 

 covering them with about 12 or 15 inches of earth; leave a vent or 

 air-hole, by placing a bunch of straw in the top. Put away in this 

 manner, they will be found in good condition in the spring.
