OR OYSTER PLANT 
1 oz. for 50 feet of drill. 
Requires a well enriched, mellow 
soil, which, previous to sowing the 
seeds, should be stirred to a depth of 
18 inches. Sow early in the spring in 
drills 15 inches apart; cover the seed 
with fine soil 1% inches in depth, and 
when the plants are strong enough 
thin out to 6 inches apart. As the 
| leaves resemble grass, be careful they 
are not mistaken for it when weeding. 
Mammoth Sandwich Is-

feet apart each way; the following 
spring it will be fit to use. *

SORREL 
BROAD AND NARROW LEAVED 
A hardy plant grown for its leaves, 
which are used as boiling “greens” or 
salad. Seed should be sown thinly in 
drills early in spring. When well 
started thin out to stand 4 to 6 
inches apart in the row. The leaves 
can be gathered for use at any time 
after the plants are well started in 
growth, and the roots will continue 
to produce a further supply. The 
plant is entirely hardy, and, starting into growth early the 
following spring, will afford a large supply of fine “greens” 
quite early. —_—
