SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 
1 ounce sows 50 feet of drill; 8 pounds one acre. 
CULTURE—Plant in March or April in rich, light, deeply worked soil, in rows 18 inches 
apart, and thin out to 4 to 6 inches. Do not use coarse or fresh manure, it makes the roots 
ill-shaped and uneven. Cultivate often. Perfectly hardy and may remain out all winter. 
Can also be planted in May and June if the season is favorable or boards be used to get 
the seeds up and shade the young sprouts until they get established. 
The roots of this delicious vegetable are appetizing and nutritious, and the flavor is like 
that of oysters. Salsify succeeds best in a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to 
a good depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will cause the roots to 
become irregular and branched. Sow early and quite deep, giving the general culture recom¬ 
mended for parsnip. The roots are perfectly hardy and may remain out all winter, but they 
should be dug early in spring. 
| 364—MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—The most popular salsify in cultiva¬ 
tion, and far superior in size, weight and productiveness. A strong grower, 
with large, long, white tapering roots, without tendency to branch. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 2 ozs., 35c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.75; 2 lbs., $3.25; 5 lbs., $7.50 
TOBACCO 
: CULTURE—The seed should be sown as soon as possible after danger of frost is over. In 
the spring it is customary to burn a quantity of brush and rubbish on the ground intended 
for the seed-bed ; then dig and pulverize the earth, mixing in the ashes. After this prepa¬ 
ration, the seed may be sown, covering very lightly. When the plants are 6 inches high, 
transplant into rows 4 feet apart each way. Cultivate thoroughly wtih plow and hoe. 
One ounce will plant 50 square yards
