developed it to gigantic proportions, the
roots being often three feet long and
three inches in diameter. The color is
always white. They eat it raw with salt;
they boil and it as we do turnips; they
pickle it in brine, tops and roots, and
consume the result in vast quantities !;
they dry the tops and roots and feed
upon them, and, worst of all, they hang
them on poles in the fields to freeze and
thaw all winter, and then consider the
shriyeled remains worth eating.
