TO KEEP VEGETABLES FOR WINTER.

Salsify, parsnips, beets, and carrots should be gathered in the early part of November. Those you want to use during the winter should be put in boxes, and covered with sand. Celery should be put in a box with the roots down, covered with sand. Some gardeners keep it in the ground all winter, and dig it as they wish it, for use.
