CUI^TUBE. The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, sandy loam. If wanted very early, sow sucli sorts 
as Crosby's Egyptian or Condon's Boyal Blood in hotbeds and transplant, cutting oft the outer leaves. Per 
general crop sow in freshly prepared soil as soon as the ground will permit, in rows eighteen Inches apart cover- 
ing about an inch deep and pressing the soil firmly over the seed. When the plants are well established, thin, 
out to six inches apart in the row. Por winter use sow Condon's Boyal Blood in June, so as to mature late in 
the season. The roots are stored in a cellar and covered with sand or sandy soil to prevent wilting, or they 
may be kept outdoors in pits such as are used for apples and potatoes.
