RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 



Very familiarly known as the Pie Plant. The foot stalk is the portion that is used, and is the first vege- 

 table of the season from the garden. Sow the seed early in the spring, in rows 1 foot apart, on rich 

 ground; the second year after planting they can be removed, in autumn, to the permanent spot allotted 

 to them; plant the roots 2 feet apart each way, in ground that is well enriched, at least 2 feet deep. Packet.

SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 



5 to 8 pounds to an acre. 



CULTURE.— Sow early in 

 spring in drills fifteen inches 

 apart; cover with fine soil 

 one and one-half inches deep; 

 thin to six inches apart. As 

 soil is strong and inclines to 

 depth and lightness, it pro- 

 portionately is adapted to 

 salsify. As the leaves resem- 

 ble grass, be careful they are 

 not mistaken in weeding. 

 Salsify keeps over winter 

 like parsnips.
