SALSIFY 
RHUBARB 
832 VICTORIA—Has large thick red stalks of most delicious 
flavor. Sow seeds outdoors in shallow drills one foot apart 
and transplant when of sufficient size, to stand four 
feet apart. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; *4 lb. 60c. 
SALSIFY 
CULTURE—Sow from March to July in drills, 18 inches 
apart, covering the seed one inch, and thin the plants to 
4 or 6 inches and cultivate often. Salsify thrives best in a 
deep, rich, fine, mellow, loamy soil, previously enriched for 
some other crop, as applying fresh or coarse manure has 
tendency to induce ill-shaped, rough or sprangling side 
roots or forking, though an application of liquid manure 
in dry weather will be beneficial. The roots are perfectly 
hardy and may be left in open ground all winter, but 
should be taken up before growth starts in the Spring. 
One ounce sows 50 feet of row, 8 lbs. to the acre. 
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—This is decidedly the 
best salsify, being a vigorous grower and far superior to 
all other varieties. The long, white tapering roots are 
very large, smooth and well shaped and of delicate oyster¬ 
like flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 45c; lb. $1.50; post¬ 
paid.
