When the plants are well established, thin to a foot apart in the row. Harvest before the hea^w freezes in the fall, or they will not keep so well. No one who keeps horses, sheep or cattle should be without these roots for fall and winter feeding. They are rich in saccharine matter, increase largely the 3'ield of milk in cows, and are excellent for feeding to fattening stock. I offer selected seeds and sell tons of it annually.

Single roots have weighed from 25 to 30 pounds each, and always of the very finest texture and best quality. By plant- ing them far apart, immense specimens may be raised to exhibit at fairs.
