SALSIFY or Vegetable Oyster 
A packet will sow 20 feet of row, an ounce 75 feet, 7 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. Prefer a light, rich, deep soil. Uneven and ill shaped roots are caused by coarse or 
fresh manure and should be avoided. Sow early and deep as you would for parsnip. Roots are hardy 
and may remain out all winter but deteriorate rapidly if not dug early in spring. Store well in pit or 
cellar for winter use. 
Mammoth Sandwich Island 
This is in every way superior to the Large White, being larger, stronger and 
less liable to branch. Invaluable to market gardeners.

SPINACH 
A packet will sow 25 feet of row, 14 lb. 200 feet, 10 to 14 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. Spinach réquires rich ground, the richer the better. Sow in drills about 16 inches 
apart and thin to 3 inches apart in the rows when the leaves are an inch wide. In the North, the 
seed can bé planted as soon as the ground can be prepared. In the South, spinach will winter over 
with little or no protection but in the North when planted in the fall for spring use, the plants 
should be protected with a light covering of leaves or straw.

I had your Red Cabbage last year. It was the nicest Red I ever grew. It kept 
perfect and the broker said it was the nicest Red cabbage he had received this 
winter.
