Stachys Affinis
This new vegetable which we now offer for the second yea is attracting wide attention. The bulbs taste much like the tuber of an artichoke, and are good cooked in a variety of ways, fried, roasted, baked, etc., but are particularly valuable for stock, owing to their enormous productiveness. They are probably the most valuable feed to raise for swine. With us the past season, planted in ordinary soil, they yielded a bushel of tubers to every ten feet of row. The bulbs are very sweet, tender and nutritious. They are perfectly hardy and like parsnips or artichokes are best if left in the ground till spring. They are then very sweet and delicious. Price of fine tubers, 50c. Per 100; $4.00 per 1000.
