### STORING JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES

        To  obtain  the maximum yield of Jerusalem  artichokes,

    wait
     until late fall when the leaves of the plant begin  to

    die
     before harvesting the tubers.   Store tubers in a  cool

    place
    (32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit) embedded  in  moist sand

    to
    keep the humidity high.  If  the  humidity  is  not  kept

    high,
    the tubers will shrivel.

        Jerusalem  artichokes  may be left in the  ground  over

    winter.
      Mulch  heavily so that the ground doesn't  totally

    freeze.
     Dig up tubers as needed.
