Salsify or Oyster Plant 
2 Oz. per 100 Ft.; 8 lbs. per Acre 
A 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 undisturbed in the 
ground over Winter.

directly after planting invariably destroy germination, for seed will 
rot, rather than pentrate a hard packed soil. 
Sow early in well prepared, limed and fertilized ground, % in. deep 
in rows 1 ft. apart and thin to 4 ins. in the row, planting every 10 days 
to May 15 for a succession. August sowing for Fall and September * 
sowing for Winter crops, is best. Seed sown on snow lies dormant and
