(Sammer 2afat.) 



The leaves are used during winter and spring 

 as a salad. Sow the seed thickly in shallow drills 

 in September, and firm the soil well down above 

 it, if the weather be dry. The plants will require 

 no culture beyond keeping them free from weeds ; 

 in northern climates they should be given a light 

 covering of straw in winter. The richer the soil 

 the finer the flavor of the leaves. In some sec- 

 tions of country this salad is highly appreciated, 

 and is much grown for use where other salads 

 or lettuces cannot be cultivated with success.
