Island Improved). The old, popular

SALSIFY, Vegetable Oyster 
1% oz. to 100 ft., 7 to 8 Ibs. per acre.

tizing and nutritious and the flavor is 
like that of oysters. Salsify succeeds 
best in a light, well enriched soil, which 
should be stirred to a good depth. Coarse 
and fresh manure should be avoided, as 
it will cause the roots to become irregu- 
lar and branched. Sow early and quite 
deep, giving the general culture recom- 
mended for parsnips. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 50c. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island. Large and 
strong growing with long, smooth, white, 
tapering roots. Less likely to branch
