SALSIFY, or OYSTER PLANT 



One Ounce for 50 Feet of Drill; 10 Pounds to an Acre. 



CULTURE. A fine vege- 

 table, used the same as car- 

 rots or, having been boiled, 

 made into cakes and fried 

 like oysters, which they re- 

 semble in flavor. Cultivate 

 the same as carrots and 

 parsnips. It is hardy, can 

 remain in the ground all 

 winter for early spring use, 

 but should be taken up be- 

 fore 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 ins. 

 apart, 1 inch deep; thin to 

 6 inches in the rows.

 Mammoth. One of the 



most delicious of winter 

 vegetables, and also one 

 of the most nutritious; the 

 flavor is sweet and highly 

 esteemed. This variety, 

 where known, is entirely 

 superseding the old type, 

 as it produces roots near- 

 ly double the size and 

 Salsify or Vegetable Oyster. ^^'^ight, and of equally 



good quality. Pkt. 10 cts.;

 est, most tender salsify ever sold to the- trucker. Its de- 

 licious flavor and attractive appearance bring the buyers

 and outyields all other varieties. Truckers who have tried 

 the "Great Giant" say it is ideal. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; f,^

SPINACH 



Two Ounces for

CULTURE. This is an important market gardener's crop, of 

 easy culture. For spring and summer use sow either broadcast 

 or in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep as early as the ground 

 can be worked, and every two weeks for a succession. For winter 

 and early spring use sow in September in well-manured ground; 

 cover with straw on the approach of severe cold weather. The 

 ground cannot be too rich; the stronger the ground the more 

 delicate and succulent will be the leaves.
