GAKDEN YARD ^^ 



SO well known here as in Europe. The third 

 variety, known as the upland or upright cress, 

 is perfectly hardy and common to all parts of 

 the United States. In cultivation it is usually 

 treated as an annual or as a winter perennial. 

 Seeds may be sown late in the season, when the 

 young plants will be ready for use early in the 

 spring; or, they may be sown in the earliest 

 spring and will be ready for use about fifty-two 

 days after sowing. If grown through the sum- 

 mer they are apt to be bitter and tough, unless 

 grown in a shady place. The upland cress 

 resembles water-cress in flavor. 



CORN SALAD. 



Corn salad is not so well known here as in 

 Europe, where it is highly prized as a fall and 

 winter salad and as a pot-herb. It is a cool- 

 season crop, grown as lettuce is. It is hardy 

 and may be sown as early in spring as the soil 

 can be worked. It comes to maturity in six 

 or eight weeks, producing a bunch of leaves 

 something like spinach. It may also be sown 

 in the fall and protected in winter the same as 

 spinach, so as to have very early plants in the 

 spring, or, if sown late in the summer, it will 

 give edible leaves in the fall, and in a mild, 

 open season, will flourish all through the winter.
