CULTL'KI-:.— Sow as early as the ^rround can Ije 
worked in spring, in drills twelve inches apart, one 
inch deep, and thin" out to six inches in a row. Keep 
them tree from weeds. Cultivate the same as for 
carrots and parsnips. A part of the crop may be left 
in the ground until spring, when it will be found 
fresh and plump. The roots are cut into pieces half 
an inch long, boiled until tender, and then served with 
drawn butter, in which way it is a delicious vegetable. 
They are also mashed and baked like parsnips, and 
have a sweet agreeable flavor. Mashed and fried the 
flavor is much like that of the oyster ; hence the com- ' 
nion name of the plant " Vegetable Oyster."
