Salads
Plants for these are in daily-request, and it is therefore important to maintain a supply all the year round, so far as circumstances admit. Lettuces stand first as Salad plants; they should always be well blanched when sent to table. Endive is invaluable in autumn and winter. Mustard and Cress may be obtained ready for use in about a week at almost any time of year, if a little heat is at command. Other plants which enter more or less into the composition of Salads are: Beet, Chervil, Chicory, Chives, Radishes, Tarragon, and Tomatoes. Details of the culture of these plants may be found under their several headings.
