Ttie root* are dropped top end up in holes or furrow* in tht cabbage rows. The top of the cuttings should be from three to five inches below the surface of the ground. Thia deep planting delays the grow th of the top* until alter the tillage of the th st crop. If the tops grow so much that they Isitber. they may be cut off two or three times early in the season without injury. Plow the roots out late in the fall. Store them in pits or in the cellar, or sell them. It is necessary to destroy ‘ all small roots, as they will grow the next season and lie a nuisance. Very deep, cool, rich soil is best suit ed to horseradish. On account of the extreme hardiness of the plant, it grows well on wide range of soil. Heavy clay soil is least adapted to its growth.
