Section V. — SALAD PLANTS. 
BABBE DE CAFTTCIB. A fine winter Salad. 
TAts is the most wholesome and agreeable of winter salads. Ssw in May, and in autumn lift the 
roots and store them in a dry cool situation. For a succession, plant the roots at intervals, in^ perplrt. pero& 
boxes of soil and place them in a dark warm cellar or mushroom-house . 
blanched leaves are abundantly produced, ready for use 
WITLOEF, A NEW VEGETABLE, 
Those who are fond of the salad known as Barbede Capucin, will esteem the Witloef highly. The 
seed is sown in June, and the roots as required are lifted from the end of October to February. 
They are then divested of their leaves to within two inches of the ground, planted in a trench 
and covered with 1 or feet of stable litter. As the heat generates, the root throws up from 
the crown a pale green head, resembling a Paris Cos Lettuce, which is eaten as Salad, or 
cooked and served as Seakale pkt., 6o. I o 
DANDELION. , j -ri / 
The blanched leaves of this plant in Spring make a most delicately flavoured and wholesome salad. I tie roots, 
if lifted, mav also be treated in the same way as recommended for Barbe de tapucin. s. a.

carefully conducted trial of Celery, in which was elicited the important fact that in this country the 
distinct typical Celeries do not exceed four in number, and that the multitude of names are either synonyms, or 
represent merely trilling variations. Celeriac, or Turnip rooted Celery, is not included fj“ “cove remark. Us 
cultivation, we regret L say, being very limited in this country. The examination of the different 
grown at the trial, showee, the importance of careful selections; still it is noteworthy that the best selected stocks of
