SALSIFY 



OR OYSTER PLANT 



Salsify is one of the best of our root 

 vegetables, and is rapidly increasing in 

 popularity. It is grown in the same way as the Parsnip, and 

 if grown in well prepared soil, will produce large, smooth roots. 

 Failing this, they are liable to fork. Cooked in any form. 

 Salsify is wholesome, appetizing and nutritious. Its peculiar 

 oyster-like flavor is most apparent when sliced and fried, it 

 may also be served and eaten as Asparagus. It is one of the 

 best remedies for various forms of indigestion. Most of its 

 medicinal value is contained in the milk which exudes from 

 the skin; the surface should therefore be broken as little as 

 possible. This is best avoided by boiling whole, and peeling 

 after cooking. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., 

 $1.25. ) 4 lb., $4.00 lb.

HENDERSONS LONG ISLAND 



White Bush Squash 



The white scalloped "Patty Pan" or 

 "Cymling" has for years been a favorite 

 summer Squash, on account of its earliness 

 etc., but this new sort is a vast improvement: 

 it is just as early, more prolific, and the 

 Squashes are much deeper, and have le<> 

 prominent scallops, consequently are easier 

 prepared, contain less waste and almost twice 

 the amount of flesh, which is also of finer 

 quality. The plants are of the true bush 

 habit. (See engramng.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. oz., 75c. > 4 lb., $2.50 lb.
