in appearance and flavor. For a successive supply, sow from the middle

early supply they may be sown on a gentle hot-bed in February.

SALSIFY, or OYSTER PLANT. 
The Oyster Plant succeeds best in a light, well-enriched, mellow soil, 
which, previous to sowing the seeds, should be stirred to a depth of eigh- 
teen inches. Sow early in Spring, in drills, fifteen inches apart; cover 
the seeds with fine soil, an inch and a half in depth, and when the plants 
are strong enough, thin out to six inches apart.
