Sandwich Island Mammoth White Salsify. 



One of the most delicious of winter vegetables, and also one of the most 

 nutritious ; the flavor is sweet and 'highly esteemed whether served boiled with 

 butter or other suitable sauce, or sliced and fried, or used in soup. 



This new variety, where known, is entirely superseding the old type, as it 

 produces roots nearly double the size and weight and of equally good quality. 

 Seed sown in spring produces large, fine roots that may remain in the ground all 

 winter or may be dug and stored in sand or earth in November, thus keeping 

 them plump and sweet, to be used as desired during the winter. {See cut.)

 variety to market gardeners, while its brilliant orange 

 red color and fine keeping and cooking qualities make 

 it popular with the consumer. The rind is very hard, 

 but thin, and the flesh deep, fine grained, and of deli- 

 cate quality. Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; %
