UPLAND CRESS green vegeta- 
bles are scarcest, when the appetite for anything like this is the 
strongest, and when wished for the most ; it is the first from the open 
ground, weeks ahead of lettuce, asparagus or spinach. In quality it 
is the very best, having the identical, very agreeable and highly- 
prized flavor of the Water Cress; it grows with surprising and 
unequaled rapidity, so that in a few days after the opening of Spring, 
it is ready to use. The young and tender leaves can be eaten raw or 
asasalad. It is excellent prepared the same as lettuce, or when the 
leaves become large and plentiful, boiled as greens, being far super- 
ior to spinach. It is.of easy culture, thriving on any soil, wet or dry, 
and when once established remains, appearing regularly every Spring, 
requiring no further care. Upland Cress endures more cold, more 
freezing without injury than any other plant; from 15 to 20 degrees 
of frost will not change the color of the leaves, and if wanted to use 
during the whole Winter, a covering of two inches of straw will fully 
protect the foliage from spoiling, when the thermometer runs below
