RAT-TAILED RADISH (Raphanus caudatus) 
Possibly you have never heard of this Radish before. Try it; you will find it good. The edible part is 
not the root, but the seed-pods, which are gathered before they are fully grown. These pods are produced 
in large clusters, each pod being about as thick as a lead pencil, curiously twisted, and from 8 to 10 inches 
long. In flavor, very similar to that of the small forcing Radish, perhaps a little more pungent. The plant 
is easy to grow; sow the seed in May and in about three months the plants commence to flower, and yield 
pods which are eaten raw or after being pickled in vinegar. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify 
SALSIFY,or VEGETABLE OYSTER 
Sow, in early spring, in drills 18 inches apart; cover 
the seed with 3^ inch of soil. Seedlings should be 
thinned out to 4 inches apart in the drills. Ready for 
use in October; can be stored in the cellar over win- 
ter or left outside. A few frosts improve trie flavor. 
The roots, when boiled, make a delicious vegetable, 
and the tenderest leaves form a very good salad.

One of the 
finest varie- 
ties grown. Roots short, thick, very uniform in size, tender, 
and delicious. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., J^lb. SI. 50. 
BlacK Vegetable Oyster, or Scorzonera. Generally conceded to 
be the equal of the white variety in quality, with the additional ad- 
vantage that, once planted, the roots will keep over and again be fit 
for use the second year, even though the plants have produced stems 
and flowers in the course of the summer. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts. 
SORREL 
Sorrel is used as greens like spinach. Mixed with spinach, it adds 
a delicious flavor to it. Also extensively used in French cookery-
