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.
Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
