or SALSIFY 
Grown largely for fall and win- 
ter use and highly esteemed for 
the fine flavor of the roots, 
which is not unlike that of 
oysters. They are cooked like 
parsnips, used in stews and 
soups. Sow the seed in early 
spring in rows 1% ft. apart and 
cover with 1 in. of fine soil. Thin 
the seedlings to stand 4 to 5 in. 
apart. Best roots are grown on 
rather light soil but good results 
can be had in ordinary soil if 
dug deep and mellow. They are 
hardy and may be left in the 
ground over winter for early 
spring use. For winter use, dig 
some roots in the fall and store 
in moist sand ina cool cellar. A 
pkt. will sow about 20 ft. of row, 
an oz. 100 ft.
