SORREL 



A hardy plant giownf or its leaves, which 

 are used as boiling "greens" or salad. Seed 

 should be sown thinly in drills early :n 

 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.
