Salsify or Oyster Plant 



Five to eight pounds 

 to an acre. 



Culture — Sow early 

 in spring in drills IS 

 inches apart ; cover 

 with fine soil Ij^ in- 

 ches deep, thin to 6 

 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 par- 

 snips. 



Sandwich Island 

 Mammoth — The most 

 popular salsify in cul- 

 tivation, and far su- 

 perior to the old varie- 

 ties in size, weight 

 and productiveness. A 

 strong grower, with 

 large, long, white tap- 

 ering 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 smoothest roots possible, qualities that will be 

 appreciated both by market and private growers.
