KOaUETTE or EOCKET-SALAD (E,uia satlva, 

 Mill ) i low growing hardy annual from southern Eu- 

 rope whose leaves resemble those of radish and turnip, 

 is much used b^ the French as a spring and autumn 

 salad and pot herb The flavor of the joung, tender 

 leaves which are the paits used bears a strong resem- 

 blance to that of horse ladish In America it is but 

 little grown 



The first sowing ma\ be made m earh spring, the 

 seed being diopped thinly in shallow dulls a foot apart, 

 with successional plantings each second or third week 

 through the season The soil must be rich and well 

 supplied with moisture else the leaves will probably be 

 tough and acrid Inter culture is the same as for spin- 

 ach lettuce and similar ciops Frequent watering and 

 tillage in hot dry weather to insure rapid, vigorous 

 giowth should result m succulent mild flavored leaves. 

 In summer the plants run lapidlv to seed in spring 

 and autumn thej will produce abundanth after being 

 cut The pale citron yellow flowers emit a perfume re- 

 sembling that of oiange blossoms jj (^ Kains.
