| intervals throughout the season, for a succession, as it soon 
runs to seed. Water Cress requires a stream of running 
water, ditch or pond, in which it will grow without care, 
except at first keeping weeds from interfering with it. It 
is easily introduced by planting along the margins of

of the roots or from the seed. The leaves are eaten with 
salt, and are of an agreeable, pungent taste.
