. decided oysterdike flavor. The roots are 
boiled like carrots or parsnips and served with 
a butter or cream dressing, or they may be 
sliced and fried. Cooked in any form, they 
are delicious and nutritious. 
Culture- —In every respect as to soil, planting time and 
cultivation, the Salsify is treated the same as parsnips. 
For smooth, uniform roots avoid the use of coarse and 
fresh manure. Frost does not hurt the roots and it iim 
proves the oyster flavor. Dig a quantity for Winter use 
before the ground freezes and bury in pits the same as 
carrots or store in a cool cellar. For Spring use, the 
roots may be left undisturbed in the ground over Winter.
