SALSIFY— (Haferwurzel) 
Commonly called Oyster Plant because it tastes so much like oysters. A winter vegetable but 
little appreciated by most people, but greatly liked by those who know it. Early Radish seed sown 
with salsify will assure a good stand as it is important to get it up well the first time so the roots will 
be large enough. Like parsnips, they may be left in the ground in winter and dug as wanted. If 
frozen when dug, will thaw out, without injury in icy cold water. 
Use one ounce to 50 feet of row.

SQUASH— (Speise Kuerbis) 
The chief trouble encountered with squashes is caused by the bugs and borers. A dusting of Slug 
Shot after each rain will check the bugs but the borers in the stem, which attack the running sorts can 
be circumvented only by causing the vines to root at three or four of the joints by covering with soil, 
so that, when the borer gets into the main stem and would kill the vine, the roots at the joints would be 
sufficient to sustain it and no damage would result. This simple precaution has saved many acres of 
squash. Plant six or eight seeds in a hill, the early three or four and the late sorts twice as far apart, 
after middle of May and the ground is warm. 
One ounce makes 40 hills of early and ten of late sorts. Pkt. Oz. J4 lb. Lb.
