SALSIFY 



German, Haferwurzel; French, Salsifis; 

 Spanish, Salsifi Blamco. 



CULTURE : Plant and care for it the same as Parsnips. Nothing difficult or mysterious about it. Do not leave roots in the ground too late in 

 the spring, as they sprout and soon deteriorate, but they may be left all winter without damage. Flavor strongly resembles that of the oyster after 

 cooked. 



BUCKBEE'S ALL AMERICA. 

 By Far the Very Best Salsify. 



A truly American variety of the highest merit. Offered last year 

 for the first time, and sprang. into immediate popularity. The long,

SPINACH 



CULTURE 



Should be planted in very rich ground, the richer the better. Sow 

 in drills one foot apart, and commence thinning out the plants when the 

 leaves are 1 inch wide. All should be cut before hot weather, or it will 

 be tough and stringy. For early spring use the seed should be sown 

 early in autumn. In the North the plants will require a slight protec- 

 tion of leaves or straw, but in the Southern states no protection is neces- 

 sary, and they will continue their growth most all winter.
