SALSIFY. 



Germau, Haferwurzel. French, Salsifis- Spanish. Sahifi Blamco. 

 One ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill — 8 pounds per acre. 

 The Salsify is one of the most delicious and nutritious of vegetables and 

 should be raoie generally cultivated for use in winter, when the supply of 

 really good vegetables is so limited. It has a grassy top and a long, wliite, 

 tapering root, nearly resembling a small parsnip. ■ It closely assimilates to 

 the taste and flavor of the oyster when properly cooked, and is a good sub- 

 stitute for it; very wholesome and nutritious The roots are either boiled 

 and mashed or made into fritters, in which form they are delicious. It 

 succeeds best in a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a 

 good depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will surely 

 cause the roots to grow uneven and ill-shaped. Sow early and quite deep, 

 giving the general culture recommended for parsnip. The roots are per- 

 fectly hardy and may remain out all winter, but should be dug early in the 

 spring, as they deteriorate rapidly after growth commences. Store a quan- 

 titv for winter use in a pit, or cellar in dkmp earth or sand.
