^ irst Class Certificate, Royal Horticultural Society,

plant, producing a largo quantity of tubers in the same way as the Potato. 
Its culture is very easy, as it grows well in any good garden soil, and is 
readily propagated by moans of its numerous tubers. Thoy may be loft 
in the ground until required for use, as the severest frost does not injure 
them in any way. The best and simplest way of cooking this vegetable 
is to boil in water with a pinch of salt, then fry them. They are of delicate 
flavour, somewhat resembling boiled Chestnuts.
