there, simply cut it out. 
Along end of October, before heavy frosts do damage, dig up the 
roots which in good soil will grow to be 12 inches long by 3 inches in 
diameter at the crown. They somewhat resemble a well grown 
parsnip. Cut off the tops to within an inch of the crown of the 
plant. Trim the roots at base so that altogether they do not 
exceed 8 inches in length. Secure a strong box 12 to 14 inches 
deep, laying it on the side and packing your trimmed roots in it 
layer fashion. Fill in with soil or sand and place in the cellar. 
Build up the sides of the 
box 6 or 8 inches and 
fill in with dry leaves, 
shavings, excelsior, or any 
other material of that sort. 
Water about once a week. 
Roots treated in this fashion 
about November 1st will 
yield beautiful creamy white 
sprouts of delicious salad
