THE “SANDWICH.” This variety is of a pure snow-white color, similar to the White Strasburg in shape, but. 
rather more stump-rooted. We can recommend it to market gardeners as well as to private planters.

soil about three feet apart each way. If propagated by dividing the roots, it may be done either in fall or spring, 
planting at the same distance apart as given above. The large roots of Rhubarb are easily forced if taken up and 
packed closely together under the stage of a greenhouse or warm cellar, as no light is necessary for the development 
of the stalk. 
ST. MARTIN’S. A new Scotch variety. It is immensely productive, one of the earliest, 
and has a rich, spicy flavor very similar to the gooseberry when 
used for pies or tarts. 20c. pkt., 75e. oz., $2.50 14 lb.

SALSIPFY, oR OYSTER PLANT. 
German, Bocksbart.—French, Salsifis.—Spanish, Ostra Vegetal. 
The Oyster Plant succeeds best in light, well-enriched mellow soil, which, 
previous to sowing the seeds, should be stirred to a depth of eighteen inches. 
Sow early in spring in drills fifteen inches apart; cover the seeds with fine 
soil an inch anda half in depth, and, when the plants are strong 
enough, thin out to six inches apart.

1 oz. for 100 ft. of drill ; 10 to 12 lbs, in drills for an acre. 
The most easily managed of all vegetables, requiring but little cul- 
ture, and may be had fit for use the entire season. The main crop is 
sown in September. It is sometimes covered up in exposed places 
with straw or salt hay during winter, which prevents it from being 
cut with the frost; but in sheltered fields there is no necessity 
tor covering. For summer use it may be sown at intervals of 
$1.25 lb. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. A new 
and improved type, producing roots of nearly 
double the size and weight of the old variety, 
and of equally good quality. It has been exten- 
sively grown for the markets of many of the 
large cities, entirely superseding the old sort.

HENDERSON’S NORFOLK SAVOY LEAVED. 
In appearance the leaf is wrinkled in the same 
way peculiar to the Savoy Cabbage. Hence the 
name. Itshould not, however, be sown in spring 
in the latitude of New York, as it is almost 
certain to run to seed if then sown. 5c. pkt., 
10c. 0z., 15¢. 14 Ib., 40c. Ib. 
THICK LEAVED. One of the best market sorts. 
It produces a large, thick, strong, green leaf, 
somewhat crumpled, and possesses the valuable 
quality of standing a long time before running to 
seed. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., lic. 4 Ib.,

LONG STANDING. Except in the character- 
istic of standing a long time before running to

4 Cultivated for its blanched shoots, which are cooked as 
ea Asparagus. A supply may be had all winter, by planting the 
roots closely in a warm cellar before frost. Sow 
one inch deep, in drills two feet apart, 
thin out to six inches, and the next 
spring plant in hills three feet 
‘ apart. As this vegetable is 
only used when blanched, 
like Celery, the plants 
must be excluded 
from the light by 
covering up 
with leaves or 
litter. 10c.
