SALSIFY, Vegetable Oyster

in a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a 
good depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as 
it will cause the roots to become irregular and branched. 
Sow early and quite deep, giving the general culture recom¬ 
mended for Parsnip. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; Vi lb- 50c.

and remain in gopd condition a long time. The medium 
green leaves are large, rounded, slightly crumpled, succu¬ 
lent, and tender. It is an excellent home garden Spinach. 
NEW ZEALAND. Although not a true Spinach, the leaves 
look like Spinach and are very useful as greens. On soils too 
poor to grow Spinach successfully, the plants thrive and 
produce groups of small fleshy leaves that are tender and 
delicious when cooked. Each branch of the plant produces 
others, so that it goes on providing a continuous supply of 
greens throughout the Summer.
