SALSIFY or OYSTER PLANT 
Salsify or Oyster Plant 
2 Oz. per 100 Ft.; 8 Lbs. per Acre 
FALL and Winter vegetable which has a 
decided oyster-like 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 improves 
- 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 undis- 
turbed in the ground over Winter.
