remain in the ground all winter for early spring use, but should 
be taken up before it starts growing; take up a supply for use 
during the winter. Succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, 
mellow soil. Used the same as carrots; or, after having been 
boiled, it may be made into cakes and fried like oysters, which 
it resembles in flavor. One ounce for 50 feet of drill.
