Where did the turnip come from, and why does a good seed line go bad? Buckman digs into the origin of root crops, how distinct sorts arose, keeping a variety true, and the problem of degenerate roots. Science aimed squarely at the practical grower's field. For the farmer who wants to know why his roots behave as they do.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
