Two Delightful Vegetables 
SALSIFY OR VEGETABLE OYSTER 
S90 Mammoth Sandwich Island 
Tlie Salsify is oiu> of the most delioious nnd miti-itlous of vcsetab'es 
and should be more generally onltivated for use in winter, when the 
supply of really good vegetables is so limited. It has a srassv top 
lUKl a long, white, tapering: root, nearly rosemblinsr a small parsnip. 
It closely assimilates to the taste and flavor of the oyster, when prop- 
erly cooked, and is a good substitute for it; verv wholesome and 
nutritious. The roots are either boiled and mashed or made Into frit- 
ters, in which form they are delicious. The roots are perfectly hardy 
and may remain out all winter, hut should be dus earlv In the spring, 
as they deteriorate rapidly after growth commences. Store a quantity 
for winter use in a pit or cellar in damp earth or sand. This variety 
IS large and strong growing with long, smooth, white, tapering roots, 
and IS lei?s liable to branch than the other sorts. It is invaluable for 
market gardeners' use. Pat-ket, 5 f«s.; oiiiife, J5 ctH.! % il>.. 4S otHii
