Potatoes to Winter Greens

Potatoes - to be taken up and stored with all possible speed.

Rhubarb - for forcing should be taken up and laid aside in a dry, cool place, exposed to the weather. This gives the roots a check, and constitutes a kind of winter, which in some degree prepares them for the forcing pit.

Root Plants - such as Beet, Salsify, and Turnip, to be taken up as soon as possible, and stored for the winter.

Winter Greens - may still be transplanted, and it is often better to use up the remainder of the seed-beds than to let the plants stand. In the event of a severe winter, these late-planted Greens may not be of much value; but in a mild growing winter they will make some progress, and may prove very useful in the spring.
