Culture. —Sow the seed early in Spring in rows twelve inches apart and one

in cellar in boxes; cover roots with sand or soil. If left in ground till Spring, 
dig as early as possible. A deep, sandy soil is the best for good results.

Salsify, or Oyster Plant 
One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill. 
Rhubarb (9?Ha^r) 
Culture. — This plant is mostly propagated by division of the roots. The 
best time to set out the plants is early in the Spring, although it is sometimes 
done in Autumn. Make furrows of good depth, 3 to 4 feet apart, according to 
the variety planted; across these furrows, at right angles, make others the same 
distance apart; at each intersection put three or four shovelfuls of good manure, 
and upon this set the plants. Any good soil will suit Rhubarb; but to obtain 
heavy crops, good soil well manured is indispensable. A piece of root with a 
single bud, or eye, is enough for each hill. Cultivate during Summer, but do 
not pull any stalks the first year. Late in Autumn cover each plant with a 
good shovelful of manure, and plough a furrow against each side of the rows; 
this protection will assist the earliness of the crop. In early Spring level the 
ground, working in the manure with a fork. Plants can be obtained from seed, 
which may be sown in a hotbed in March, and the plants set out about the mid- 
die of May It takes longer, however, to obtain a crop from seedling plants 
than from roots.
