SALSIFY 
OR OYSTER PLANT 
Salsify is one of the best of our root 
vegetables, and is rapidly increasing in 
popularity. It is grown in the same way as the Parsnip, and 
if grown in well prepared soil, will produce large, smooth roots. 
Failing this, they are liable to fork. Cooked in any form, 
Salsify is wholesome, appetizing and nutritious. Its peculiar 
oyster-like flavor is most apparent when sliced and fried, it 
may also be served and eaten as Asparagus. It is one of the 
best remedies for various forms of indigestion. Most of its 
medicinal value is contained in the milk which exudes from 
the skin; the surface should therefore be broken as little as 
possible. This is best avoided by boiling whole, and peeling 
after cooking. (Sec engraving.) Price, 10 c. pkt., 40 c. oz.,

“The Squash from the Golden Custard seed are very fine, tender and 
nice. Some weighed 4% lbs. each, and would have grown still larger if 
I had let them stay on the vine longer .”

MAMMOTH BUSII SUMMER 
Crookneck Squash 
A highly improved type of the popular 
Yellow Summer Crookneck. It is just as early, 
and the fruits are much larger, measuring 20 to 
24 inches in length, are solid, heavy and freely 
produced on healthy, vigorous plants of com¬ 
pact bush habit; fruits heavily warted; surface 
color, deep golden; flesh yellow and of superior 
quality. (See engraving.) Price, 10 c. pkt.,

HENDERSON’S LONG ISLAND 
White Bush Squash 
The white scalloped “Patty Pan’’ or 
“Cymling’’ has for years been a favorite 
summer Squash, on account of its earliness, 
etc., but this new sort is a vast improvement; 
it is just as early, more prolific, and the 
Squashes are much deeper, and have less 
prominent scallops, consequently are easier 
prepared, contain less waste and almost twice 
the amount of flesh, which is also of finer 
quality. The plants are of the true bush 
habit. (See engraving.) Price, 10 c. pkt., 
25 c. oz., 75 c. 34 lb., $ 2.50 lb.
