SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 
Haferwurzel Salsifl 
CULTURE. The Oyster plant succeeds best in some light, well enriched 
soil which previous to sowing the seeds should be stirred to the depth of 18 inches. 
Sow early in the spring in drills 15 inches apart; cover the seeds with fine soil 1 
inch deep. One for 60 feet of drill; 7 pounds to one acre. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. This splendid variety grows to fully 
double the size of the old sort ; is of superior quality and delicate flavor. The Oyster 
Plant is one of the most nutritious and delicious vegetables, and should be more 
generally cultivated for winter use when the supply of really good vegetables is 
limited. 
No Market Gardener should fail to grow it. It is a paying proposition.

SPINACH 
Spinat Espinacb. 
CULTURE. Requiring but little culture it is one of the most easily managed 
of all vegetables. The main crop is sown in September, and if in exposed places 
it is sometimes covered with straw during the winter, which prevents it being 
cut by the frost. For summer use it may be sown at intervals of 2 or 3 weeks, 
from March to August. Spinach is best developed, most tender and succulent 
when grown in rich soil. One ounce to 100 feet of drill; 10 to 12 pounds to an acre. 
SALSIFY 
AMERICAN CURLED SAVOY LEAVED. A most valuable variety. In appearance the leaf is 
wrinkled in the same way as that of the Savoy Cabbage, hence the name. It produces nearly twice the 
bulk of crop as the ordinary sort, is fully as hardy and in all other respects equal. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; H-lb. 35c; lb. $1.00 
ROUND SUMMER. This variety is generally preferred for early spring growing, and is popular 
with market gardeners. Leaves thick and fleshy. Not quite as hardy as the prickly, but stands winter 
well Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; M-lb. 35c; lb. $1.00 
PRICKLY OR WINTER. The hardiest variety and will withstand the severest weather with only 
a slight protection of straw or leaves. The seed is prickly, leaves triangular, oblong or arrow-shaped. 
I* is the best for fall sowing, which in this latitude is about the first of September.
