Peppergrass is extensively grown and used as a small salad. Sow thickly in shallow drills, early in the spring and at intervals throughout the season, for a succession, as it soon runs to seed. The Cresses are excellent salad plants. The Water Cress requires a stream of running water, ditch or pond, in which it will grow without care, except at first keeping weeds from interfering with it. It is easily introduced by planting along the margins of ditches or streams, and increases rapidly by the spreading of the roots or from the seed. The leaves are eaten with salt, and are of an agreeable, pungent taste, relished by most people. Extra Curled, or Peppergrass. Fine flavor, and the best sort for dry soils.
