SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 
The Oyster Plant succeeds best in light, well-enriched mellow 
soil, which, previous to sowing the seeds, should be stirred to a depth 
of eighteen inches. Sow the seed early in spring, in drills one foot 
apart and one inch deep, thinning out the young plants to four inches. 
The roots will be ready for use in October, when a supply for winter 
use should be taken up and stored like carrots. Those remaining will 
suffer no injury by being left in the ground until spring.
