SALSAFY 
' (Tragopogon porrifolius.) ComposiTjE. 
CULTURE • — Althoujjh Salsafy is not usually cultivated in small 
■ gardens, there is no reason why iishouM not be, m the roots form a valuable 
I addition to the somewhat limited list of Winter vegetables. They 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. The 
culture is quite as simple. Choose a piece of ground that has been well dug 
Hid manured previously, the surface also should be well pulverised. Sow 
the seed first week in April, in drills 15 inches apart and about 2 inches 
I 1 ep. As soon ss the plants are large enough to handle, thin out to about 
! 9 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. Those left in the ground will produce flower stems in 
spring, and the^:e,if cooked when young make an excellent table vegetable.

RAMPION. I 
{Campanula rapvnculus.) 
CULTURE. — Bampion is a vegetable which may be used cooked or 
as a salad, but it is not nearly so much grown as it should be, especially wHeu 
considered what a good substitute it is for Radishes during the early Autumn 
mouths, 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 G inches apart, and having covered them with about a quarter 
of an inch of soil, well tread the bed over and rake down smoothly. When 
the seedlings are well through the ground, thin them out to not less than 
i inches apart. After about three weeks, give the bed a thorough soaking 
with water, and the crop will be assured, unless the 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 time in June. *
