easily grown and is used in the late fall and 
winter when there are very few fresh vege- 
tables to be had. Market gardeners find this a 
profitable vegetable to grow. 
The largest roots are grown on rather light 
rich soil, but good ones can be produced on 
almost any good garden land. Sow the seed | 
in May in rows 2 feet apart and thin the 
plants to 3 inches apart. The roots can be 
used any time in the fall and winter. They 
may remain in the ground all winter, but 
before the ground freezes a supply of roots 
should be dug and placed in moist sand in 
the cellar for use in the winter.
