The Cultivation of Vegetables 117 
HORSERADISH 
Horseradish is indispensable in gardens of any size. 
It may be propagated as advised for Seakale by procuring 
pieces of root about 6 in. long, cutting straight through 
at the top and slanting at the bottom, and planting in 
spring in an odd corner in rows 1 ft. apart, with 6 in. 
between the pieces. It will soon form a plantation. As 
the roots are taken up, the tops may be cut off and 
planted where they were 
dug from. They will 
then form nice roots 
suitable for cutting. 
KOHLRABI 
This is another 
vegetable which is not 
very frequently met 
with. It is more or 
less like the Turnip, 
but stronger in flavour, 
and by many people 
disliked. It may be 
treated in exactly the same way as the Turnip. 
SALSIFY 
Salsify is another rare vegetable, and, where variety 
is wanted, should find a place in the garden. It should 
be sown in drills 1 ft. apart and i|- in. deep in April. 
When large enough, it should be thinned out to 6 in.
