SALSIFY, Vegetable Oyster

a light, well enriched soil, which should be stirred to a good 
depth. Coarse and fresh manure should be avoided, as it will 
eause the roots to become irregular and branched. Sow early 
and quite deep, giving the general culture recommended for 
parsnip. Pkt. 10¢; 1 oz. 30c.
