 remain in the ground all winter for early spring use. but should be taken up before it starts growing: take 

 up a supply for use during the winter. Succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, mellow soil. Sow early in 

 the spring in drills 15 inches apart 1 inch deep: thin to 6 inches in the rows. 



Sandwich Island IVIammoth "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 Ixjiled with butter or other suitable .sauce, or sliced and fried, or 

 used in sfjup. 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). Packet, 5c. and 10c. ; X Hj-, 25c.; }4 lb.,
