Salsify or Oyster Plant 
2 Oz. per 100 Ft.; 8 lbs. per Acre 
A Fall and Winter vegetable which has a decided oysterelike 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 undisturbed in the 
ground over Winter.

Culture—As all spinach, except New Zealand shoots to seed in hot 
weather it thrives best as an early Spring or Fall crop and should not 
be condemned if weather conditions necessitate re-planting. Rains 
directly after planting invariably destroy germination, for seed will 
rot, rather than pentrate a hard packed soil.
