Reselected Bloomsaale Savoy-leaved Spinach 
SALSIFY or OYSTER 
PLANT 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 70 feet of drill; 
about 8 pounds to an acre 
CuLTurRE. Sow as early as ground can be 
worked in spring, in drills 1 inch deep, and 
thin out to 6 inches in the row. Cultivate the 
same as for carrots and parsnips. A part of 
the crop may be left in the ground until 
spring, when it will be found fresh and 
plump. The roots are cut into pieces % inch 
long, boiled until tender, and then served 
with drawn butter, in which way it is a 
delicious vegetable. They are also mashed 
and baked like parsnips and have a sweet 
and agreeable flavor like that of the oyster.

TURNIP 
Sow 1 packet of seed to 100 feet; 
2 pounds to an acre 
Cutture. For early use, SOW as soon as 
the ground opens in spring; thin out to 6 to 
9 inches in the rows. For a succession, con- 
tinue to sow in July and August. The Ruta- 
bagas are grown for feeding stock and are 
also excellent for the table. Take up the 
roots in November or before severe frosts; 
cut off the tops within an inch of the crown; 
store in a cool cellar or pit, or pile up in a 
conical form outdoors, in dry ground; cover 
carefully with long straw and finish by 
earthing up, covering them with about 12 to 
15 inches of earth, leaving a trench around

in this manner they will be found in good con- 
dition in the spring. 50 to 75 days. Soil C.
