Culture of Salsify. — Sow early in Spring, in drills 15 inches apart; cover with fine soil, VA inches deep, thin to 6 inches 

 apart. As soil is strong and inclines to depth and lightness, it proportionately is adapted to Salsify. As the leaves resemble 

 grass, be careful they are not mistaken whilst weeding. Salsify keeps over Winter, like Parsnips. 



. If you want FRESH RELIABLE Spinach Seed 



' = WE CAN SUPPLY YOU = 



1 0z. for 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 Lbs. in drills for an Acre. Broadcast 15 to 35 Lbs. per Acre. SpiUSt 



THIS IS AN IMPORTANT market gardeners' crop, of easy culture. For Winter, Spring and Summer use, sow either 

 broadcast or in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked, and every two weeks for a 

 succession. For Winter and early Spring use, sow in September, in well-manured ground; cover with straw on the 

 approach of severe cold weather. The ground cannot be too rich; the stronger the ground the more delicate and succulent 

 will be the leaves.
