The method of planting is to strike out rows, and with a 
long dibber or crowbar make holes 8 or 10 inches deep. A 
set is dropped into each hole and the earth pressed about it. 
Shoots will soon appear above 
the surface, and when the 
early crop has been removed 
from the land, the horseradish 
should be well cultivated once or 
twice. Little further attention is 
needed. 
The roots should be lifted the 
same year, in December, and 
stored in an earth-covered heap 
or pit, or else in sand in a root 
cellar. The small lateral roots 
should be saved for the next 
year's sets. There is a good de- 
mand for horseradish, both whole- 
sale and retail; but prices should 
be ascertained before going into 
the business in a large way. 
Good roots, after trimming 
and washing, should weigh half 
a pound or more each. 
The cultural requirements of 
the parsnip are quite similar to 
those of the carrot. Any soil 
that is deep mellow and moder- 
ately rich may be used for pars-
