 low 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

 it whilst weeding.

SORREL — Sauerrampher 



A hardy plant grown for its leaves, which are used as 



boiling "greens" or salad. Seed should be sown thinly 



in drill 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, 



i and, starting into growth early the following spring, 



I will afford a large supply of fine "greens" quite early in 



I the spring.
