CORN SALAD. (Sainmer ©atat.) The leaves of this plant are used during winter and spring as a substitute for Lettuce ; they may also be cooked and used like Spinach. Sow the seed thickly in shallow drills in September, and firm the soil well down above it, if the weather be dry. The plants will require no culture beyond keeping them free from weeds; in northern climates they should be given a light covering of straw in winter. The richer the soil the finer the flavor of the leaves. An ounce of seed will sow a bed 20 feet square. LARGE-SEEDED. The variety now most generally cultivated. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Klb. 30 cts., lb. $1. DANDELION. This hardy little plant furnishes our earliest and most healthful crop of spring greens, and the roots when dried are of commercial value as a substitue for coffee. Sow the seeds as early as the weather will allow, in good, well-enriched soil, and in rows a foot apart; cover them only one-fourth of an inch deep, and firm the soil down above them. The plants should be thinned to stand 2 or 3 inches apart in the rows, that the roots may grow large and solid, thus saving much time in trimming them. An ounce of seed will iow 100 feet of drill; a pound will sow an acre. FRENCH THICK-LEAVED. The best variety.
