Aprašymas

First published in 1917, "Potatoes and Root Crops" is a beginner-friendly guide to cultivating a range of root vegetables, including onions, potatoes, carrots, artichokes, and more. Root crops are a great place to start for those with little previous experience as they stay in the ground throughout the season and only require work at two times of the year: In July, when they are sown; and in the autumn, when they are harvested. Written in simple language and full of helpful diagrams, this volume contains all the information a gardener needs to know about successfully growing root vegetables. Contents include: "General Hints", "The Potato", "Artichokes", "Beetroot", "Carrot", "Celeriac", "Horseradish", "Khol Rabi", "Onion", "Parsnip", "Salsafy", "Scorzonera", "Shallot", "Turnip", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
