SALADS. 
We supply seeds of plants generally used at various times of the year in 
the pieparation of this now recogn : sed necessity on the dining table. 
Descriptions will be found under the various headings—Barbe de Capucin

Endive, Lettuce, Mustard, Nasturtium, Purslane, Radish, Hampton, Salsafy, 
Shallot, Tarragon, Tomato, Watercress, Witkef. 
SALSAFY (Vegetable Oyster). 
Although Salsafy is not usually cultivated in small gardens, 
there is no reason why it should not be, as the roots form a valuable 
addition to the somewhat limited list of winter vegetables. They 
are easily cooked, merely require scraping, steeping in vinegar and 
water, then boiled until tender, after which they may be served up 
with white sauce.
