At the urgent request of many of my patrons , I have added a small kitchen garden collection 
of Vegetable Seeds. / have not selected novelties , but rather the true and tried varities. No mat- 
ter how small a garden plot one has it is well to raise a few vegetables for your own table , if noth- 
ing more than radishes, lettuce and parsley, the freshness of these alone will more than repay the 
trouble. Try it this year, and I think you will never miss trying it again.

Salsify or Vegetable Oyster, Long White — 
The well known Standard. Pkt. 5. ct9.; oz., 10 cts 
Salsify is one of the most delicious and nutritious of vegetables, 
and should be more generally cultivated for.uso in winter when 
the supply of really good vegetables is so limited. It has a gras- 
sy top and a long, white, tapering root, nearly resembling a slim 
parsnip, -t assimilates closely t 9 tne taste and flavor of the 
oyster when properly cooked and is a good substitute sor it; very 
wholesome and nutritious. The roots are either boiled, or mash- 
ed and made into delicious fritters.
