SYMPHYTUM ASPERRIMUM, OR CAUCASIAN PRICKLY 
COMFREY. 
Roots of this excellent forage plant are supplied in cases at Five Guineas each ; and in cases con- 
taming half the quantity at Three Pounds each. 
A case of roots when started and sub-divided will plant nearly a quarter of an acre. 
1 he roots should, on arrival, when taken from the case, be planted and kept shaded and damp 
un il the leaves appear, and the fibres get hold of the ground. The roots may then be sub-divided, 
and the smallrat pieces will germinate. There should be 3 feet left between each .set in planting. 
It IS perennial, and the plants spread in size of crown each time they arc cut, and the forage may 
be taken all the year round. It is advisable not to cut the fodder too near the roots— say 3 inches un 
1 he yield is largest if cut just before the flower opens. It likes clay, loam, or moist boggy places, 
and the roots will tap down 8 feet in open soil to inoisture.
