SEEDS AND POULTRY SUPPLIES 19 
SALSIFY or OYSTER PLANT 
Five to eight pounds to an acre. 
CULTURE.—Sow early in spring in drills 15 inches apart; cover with fine 
soil 1% inches 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 parsnips. 
SANDWICH ISLAND MAMMOTH.—tThe most popular salsify in cu!tiva- 
tion, and far superior to the old varieties in size, weight and productiveness. 
A strong grower, with large, long, white tapering 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. (See cut.) Packet, 5c.
