out injury. They often

single plant has produc¬ 
ed the enormous num¬ 
ber of 399 full sized pods.

and 12 inches apart in 
the row, one bean in the 
hill. Do not crowd them.

Mammoth Salsify, or Oyster Plant. 
A vegetable that is sure to be called 
for where it is once introduced. It is 
a good substitute for oysters, being 
very wholesome and nutritious. 
The roots are either boiled or mashed, 
and made into fritters, in which form 
they are delicious. For an oyster stew, 
cut the roots into small pieces, cook 
until tender* then add the other in¬ 
gredients same as for oysters. The 
roots are perfectly hardy; may remain 
in the ground all winter. No garden 
should be without this splendid vege¬ 
table. Packet 5 cts., 6 for 25 cts.
