The roots become old, tough and yell
low. They have not the pungenry of
some roots that have been quickly
grown in good soil. To have Il good
article some roots should be planted
in good soil and cultivated during the
summer to produce roots for use next
season. In digging up roots for use
this spring the small roots that are
commonly cut oil from the main one
should be saved for planting. Those
of the size OF pipe'stcms answer very
well for the purpose. These small
cuts or rootletS can be cut in pieces
from four to six inches in length and
set out in rows that will admit Of stir.
ring the soil between them. The sets
should stand at least SIN inches apart
in the rows. A long, pointed stick is
convenient for making the holes for
holding the sets, which should be in,
serted so that the tops are two or three
inches below the surfaced of the ground.
They will throw up branches and
leaves in a short time, when the plants
should be tended like other vegetables.
The plant makes its main growth in
the fall, but the size of the roots will
depend on the care given to them dur.
Ing the summer Just before the
ground freezes in the fall sufficient
number of the roots can be dug and
stored for use before the frost leave,

kept covered with earth in the cellar
or IN the pits that are used for Other
vegetables. Roots served in this man

The common gardcn-cress, or pep

few DAYS, and the leaves are suilicint
