BROAD Z.EAVED (60 days) 



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, start- 

 ing into growth early the following spring, will afford 

 a large supply of fine "greens" quite early.

OR OYSTER PLANT 



1 oz. for 50 feet of drill 



Slow growing, hardy; requires 150 

 to 180 days; better if frosted. 



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.
