SALSIFY OR OYSTER PLANT 
When properly cooked salsify is a good substitute 
for oysters in taste and flavor, and is very nutritious. 
The roots are perfectly hardy; in fact they are best 
after the frost has touched them. Sow early in drills 
18 inches apart and cover firmly one inch deep; 
thin to 3 inches apart in the drills. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND— The most pop¬ 
ular Salsify in cultivation. A strong grower, large, 
long, white tapering roots, without tendency to

but the smoothest roots possible; qualities that will 
be appreciated both by market and private growers.
