nearlv so much a, -own as it should be, especially when considered what a good substitute it is Jor ^dishes 
durinq the early Autumn months, and when owing to heat and drought the latter are sometimes difficult to 
obtain in a tender condition. Sow seed on a light porous soil in drills not less than six inches apait. 
and having covered them with about a quarter of an inch of sod, well tread the bed over and rake down 
smoothly When the seedlings are well through the ground, thin them out to not less than four inche. 
apart. After about three weeks give the bed a thorough soaking with water, and the crop will be assured 
iLless tiw weather prove dry for a very long period, when duplicate waterings will be of great benefit. 
To secure a continued supply it is well to make several sowings, one early in the month of April, one about 
the third week in May, and a third and last about the same tunc in June.

SALSAFY (Tragopogon porrifolius). 
CULTURE.— Snlsgfy is not usually cultivated in small 
qardens, there is no reason why it shouid not he, as the roots form a valuable 
'• addition to the somewhat limited list of winter vegetables. Jhey are easily 
cooked, merely require scraping, steeping in vinegar and water, then boiled 
until tender, after which they may be served up with white sauce, he 
culture is quite as simple. Clioose apiece of ground that has been u^ll dug 
and manured previously, the surface also should he well pulvcm.sed. Sow the 
seed first week in April, in drills 15 inches apart and about 2 inches depi. As 
soon as the plants are large enough to handle, thin out to about J inches 
apart. Beyond this, except keeping clean from weeds, this is all the treatment 
required until growth is completed in Autumn, when the roots may be lifted 
and stored in sand, or allowed to remain in the ground until required for use.
