IN THE GOLDEN 
SALSIFY, OR VEGETABLE OYSTER. 
We esteem this to be a much better root for table use than either 
the ijarsnip or carrot. Some have been slceptical as to their pos- 
sessing an oyster flavor. They seldom attain the true taste until, 
like the parsnip, they have Ijeen well frosted. But if dug up during 
spells in winter, ana early in the spring, and boiled like carrots or 
parsnips, or half boiled or grated fine, made into balls, dipped in a 
batter and fried like oysters, they are a very excellent substitute for 
the shell-fish himself.

averaging fully double the size and weight of roots of the old variety. 
The roots, notwithstanding their enormous size, are of very superior 
quality and very delicate in flavor; it is such a decided improvement 
that w-e are quite sure all market gardeners who once try it will use 
it exclusively. The Salsify is one of the most delicious and nutri- 
tious of vegetables, and should be more generally cnltivated for use 
in winter, when the supply of really good vegetables is so limited.
