 plant the tubers in the fall, while dormant, and set about 8 inches deep. Although

 straw, manure or similar covering, to prevent the young growth, which starts very 

 early, from being tipped from late freezes. Strong flowering roots, that is roots that 

 will flower the first season. Each Doz
