Salsify or Oyster Plant 
This plant is grown largely for fall and winter use and is highly esteemed for the fine flavor 
of the roots. They are cooked like Parsnips, used in stews and soups. The popular name 
Oyster Plant has been given to Salsify because the roots have an Oyster-like flavor. Sow 
the seed in shallow drills early in the spring in rows 1 ft. apart, and thin the plants to stand 
4 to 5 in. apart. The soil should be deep, rich, and mellow. They are hardy and may be left 
in the ground over winter for spring use. One oz. of seed will sow 75 ft. of row. 8 to 10 lbs. 
per acre.
