SORREL 
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 follow- 
ing spring, will afford a large supply of 
fine ‘‘greens” quite early.
