SALSIFY or OYSTER PLANT 



Five to eight pounds to an acre. 



CULTURE. — Sow early in spring in drills 15 inches apart; cover with fine soil IJ^ 

 inches deep, thin to 6 inches apart. As soil is strong and inclines to depth and hghtness, 

 it proportionately is adapted to Salsify. As the leaves resemble grass, be careful they 

 are not mistaken in weeding. Salsify keeps over winter Uke parsnips. 



SANDWICH ISLAND MAMMOTH.— The most popular salsify in cultivation, 

 and far superior to the old varieties in size, weight and productiveness. A strong grower, 

 with large, long, white tapering roots; without tendency to branch. We have taken great 

 care in the selection of our seed stock so as to produce not only good size, but the smooth- 

 est roots possible, qualities that will be appreciated both by market and private growers.
