CROSNES (Stachys tuberifera). First Class Certificate, Royal Horticultural 
Society. This is a tuberous vegetable introduced from Japan. 
It is a hardy 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 means of its numerous 
tubers. They may bo left 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

a trial.
