SALSAFY and SCORZONERA. 
Cultivation. — Sow in April and May in drills fifteen inches 
apart ; take up the roots in November. The Salsafy has a grassy 
top and a long white tapering root nearly resembling a small 
Parsnip. When properly cooked it is very wholesome and 
nutritious, with the flavour of an oyster. Scorzonera is very 
similar to Salsafy, and is also known as Black Salsafy or 
Black Oyster Plant.

Cultivation. — The soil (or Seakale must be well trenched 
and manured. If grown from seed, sow in March and April in 
drills three feet apart and an inch deep. If roots are planted

inches apart, in rows three feet from each other. Seakale is 
easily forced in a warm cellar by putting some of the strongest 
roots in boxes or pots of soil and covering with litter.
