Salsify, or vegetable Oyster, is considered by niau}- a de- licious vegetable, in fact, a great luxury, and is used for soups, also boiled, fried, etc., and possesses the flavor of the oyster, for which it is sometimes used as a substitute. The culture is the same as for Carrots and Parsnips, but it flourishes best with longest, smoothest roots, in a rather light or mellow soil that has been well pulverized to the depth of eighteen inches. Sow early in the spring in drills, a foot or more apart, covering the seed not more than two inches in depth. Thin out to six" inches apart. Put seed in the ground as earl} as possible in the spring. A portion of the crop may remain in the ground all winter, Hke the Parsnip. Pkt. Oz. L^lb Lb. Salsify, White French .05 .15 .50 Any good, rich soil is adapted to the growth of tlie squash. They only thrive well in warm temperature, as all the vari- eties are tender annuals; and the seed should not be sown in spring until all dan- ger from frost is past, and the ground is warm and thoroughly settled. The hills should be made from eight to ten inches in depth, manured well, and covered about three-fourths of an inch deep. Keep the earth about the plants loose and clean, removing the surplus vines from time to time, allowing not more than three or four to a hill.
