 Italian Corn Salad. To the a(-i-onut given in this work 

 at iiai.o.' ;'.7b, the following ma\- be added: 



(orn Salad is both a salad i.lant :ind a pot-herb, 

 chii-fly the former. The naioo"Corn Salad" is (irob- 

 ably derived from the fact that the plant gr.iws s]ion- 

 t;ineonsIy in the grain flelds of Euroi^e. laia:e .piantities 

 of if being gathered in early sju-ing. It is rather taste- 

 less compared with h-ttuce, and is litth- known in 

 America. Abroad it is jirized as a fall and winter salad. 



It is a 1 1-season croji. grown like h-ittice and matures 



in (;-8 weeks. I'lants should stand aliout in. apart in 

 the row. An ounce of seed should give 2,(100 -.'1,000 

 plants. The following description of the varieties is 

 derived from Vilmorin's Vegetable Harden.

 to a-s. Fii;'. 2G:i:!. An "autnmmd annual " herb, the seed of 

 which riia-ns in April or May, soon falls to the ground, 

 and germinates in August. The plant makes its growth 

 in the fall and flowers the following spring. In cultiva- 

 tion the seed is generally sown in early spring or late 

 summer. The plant forms a dense rosette of spoon- 

 shaped Ivs. which grow in a decussate fashion, and has 

 an angular, forking stem bearing small bluish white
