Salsify is a most nu- 

 tritious and delicious

 the crops that should be 

 more generally culti- 

 vated on the farm for 

 winter use and sale, as it 

 can be grown just as 

 cheaply as carrots, pars- 

 nips, etc., andcommands 

 higher prices in the mar- 

 kets. To this class of 

 vegetables, which put 

 money in the farmer's 

 pocket, ourbook,"Farin 

 Gardening" calls partic- 

 ular attention.
