favor.
Root crops OF all xmas 1of winter
use should be planted late enough TO
reach good size without fully matur-
ing. They will then be OF superior
quahlH. comparing taNorably. II
properly stored with ifeSh summer
roofs from the garden. Moreover
they will keep very much better than
OLD. oEergroWn roofs.
The reasons why late planted roots
are superior in quality are that they
usually strike a more favorable peri
Cd for continuous rapid growth,
which always means better table qua
hties, and because it is the nature OF
these vegetables to develop, as they
reach full maturity, tough tber-
Gus, interior growth OF tissue design
ed to help support the tall seed stalk
which is to be thrown up. When
they reach TINS stase-as they too
often are allowed to do before being
stored for Wlnter-they are OF little
use for the table.
