Henderson's Hollow Crown 



(Jfi7 Our selection of this highly esteemed variety is surely the 

 best for the private garden. We have discarded all the 

 types with slim, long roots that invariably break in digging and offer 

 only a shapely heavy-shouldered strain with its greatest 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 illustration.)

 flavor is very much esteemed.
