girth at 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. Bring in a box as 
needed, thawing them out slowly in a moderate 
temperature. Frost improves their quality. (See
