Overview

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.
