CORN SALAD, or Lamb's lettuce ( V 

 tcriane'Ha olito'ria), is grown for winter 

 and spring salads. The first dish 

 formerly brought to table, was a red 

 herring set in a corn salad. 



Soil and Situation. Any soil that is 

 not particularly heavy; the best is a 

 sandy moderately fertile loam, in an 

 open situation. 



Time and Mode of Soir'nty. Sow in 

 February and the two following months, 

 and once a month during the summer, 

 if in request ; but it is not so palatable 

 during this season. Lastly, during 

 August and early in September, the 

 plants from which will be fit for use in 

 early spring, or during the winter, if 

 mild. Three sowings are in general 

 quite sufficient for a family, viz., one at 

 the end of February, a second earl}' in 

 August, and a third early in September. 



Sow in drills, six inches apart. The 

 only cultivation required, are frequent 

 hoeings, the plants being thinned to 

 four inches asunder. They should al- 

 ways be eaten quite young, in sum- 

 mer, the whole plant may be cut, as 

 they soon advance to seed at this 

 season ; but in spring and winter the 

 outer leaves only should be gathered, 

 as for spinach. 



To obtain Sect/. Some of the spring- 

 raised plants must be left ungathered 

 from. They flower in June, and per- 

 fect their seed during the two following 

 months.
