CROSNES (Stachys tuberiiera). First Class Certificate, Royal Horticultural 
Sooiety. This is a new tuberous vegetable introduced from Japan. 
It is a hardy plant, producing a large quantity of tubers in the same 
way as the Potato. Its culture is very easy, as it grows well in any 
good garden soil, and is readily propagated by means of its numerous 
tubers. They may be left in the ground until required for use, as the 
severest frost does not injure them in any way. The best and simplest 
way of oooking this vegetable is to boil in water with a pinoh of salt, 
then fry them. They are of delicate flavour, somewhat resembling 
boiled Chestnuts.

(Solanum Esculentum.) 
Till comparatively recent times these handsome plants 
have only been grown for decorative purposes. They are now, 
however, coming into great favour as a delicious esculent, and 
when generally known will be in great demand, and we 
should advise all who have not yet grown these to give them 
a trial.
