first vegetable of the season from the garden. Sow the seed early in the spring, in rows 1 foot 
apart, on rich ground; the second year after planting they can be removed, in autumn, to the per- 
manent spot allotted to them; plant the roots 2 feet apart each way, in ground that is well en- 
riched, at least 2 feet deep. Packet, 10c; Ounce, 20c. ™% pound, 40c. Pound, $1.50. Roots, $1.00

CULTURE.—Sow early 
in spring in drills fifteen 
inches apart; cover with 
fine soil one and a half 
inches deep; thin to six 
inches apart. As soil is 
strong and inclines to 
depth and lightness, it 
proportionately is 
adapted to salsify. As 
the leaves resemble 
grass, be careful they 
are not mistaken in 
weeding. Salsify keeps 
over winter like pars- 
nips.
