RHUBARB. 
The Rhubarb, or Pie-Plant, is grown from divisions 
of the roots, and from seed. If seed is sown in a good, 
mellow soil, strong plants will be obtained in one year, 
and some cutting may be done the second spring. 
Plants put out in a rich soil in the spring are in fine 
condition the second season. In spring, about two weeks 
before frost is gone, cover one or two of the finest roots 
with barrels, and over and around the barrels place a 
heap of warm manure, and in a short time look out for 
delicious, tender Pic-plant. Pie-plant can also be grown 
in a tub in any corner of the green-house, or in a light 
cellar. It will thrive under almost any treatment when 
the soil is rich and moist, and without much light.

SPINACH. 
Sow in the autumn for 
spring use, in good drained 
soil, in drills a foot apart. 
As soon as the plants are 
well up, thin them to about 
three inches apart in the 
rows. Covering with a ( 
little straw or leaves before j 
winter is useful but not 
necessary. For summer use sow as early as possible 
in the spring. To raise Spinach in perfection the soil 
should be rich.

fall sowing; per lb., 50 cents . per ounce, 10 
cents. 5

Salsify, or Vegetable 
Oyster, is considered 
by many a delicious 
vegetable, in fact, a 
gieat luxury, and is 
used for soups, also 
boiled, fried, &c., and 
possesses the flavor of 
the Oyster, for which 
it is sometimes used as 
a substitute. The cul¬ 
ture is the same as for 
Carrots and Parsnips, 
but it flourishes best, 
with longest, smooth¬ 
est roots, in a rather 
light or mellow soil 
that has been well pul¬ 
verized to the depth of 
eighteen inches. Sow 
early in the spring, in 
drills, a foot or more 
apart, covering the 
seed not more than two 
inches in depth. Thin 
out to six inches apart. 
Put seed in the ground 
as early as possible 
in the spring. A por¬ 
tion of the crop may remain in the ground all winter, 
like the Parsnip. 
SEA 
Sea Kale is a favorite in 
many parts of Europe, and 
the flavor is somewhat like 
Asparagus, but thought to 
be better. The part eaten 
is the young shoots that 
appear in the spring, and 
they are not good until 
blanched. Sow in the 
spring, and plant out like 
Cabbage. During the sum¬ 
mer the plant will make a 
slender growth. The plant 
being perennial young 
shoots appear the second 
spring, and these are 
covered with earth to 
blanch, or with a flower¬ 
pot ; and if it is desired 
to force them, cover the 
pot, and earth around with 
fresh manure.
