Corn-salad (Valerianella olitoria. Poll.). Valerianaceae. A spring and summer salad and pot-herb plant.
Annual: mature plant 4-6 in. tall, forking: radical lvs. tufted (the parts used), oblong and obtuse, narrowed at the base, entire or few-toothed; st.-lvs. narrow, often clasping: fls. very small, in small terminal cymes, whitish: fr. (seed) nearly globular, gray, not crested. S. Eu. V. eriocarpa, Desv., of S. Eu. and N. Afr., is sometimes cult, as salad: lvs. longer and lighter-colored: fr. (seed) flattened, pale brown, crested. Known also as lamb's lettuce, fetticus, and vetticost.
Sow the seed of corn-salad in early spring, at the time of the first sowing of lettuce, and make successional plantings as often as desired. For very early salads the seeds are planted in September, and the young plants are covered with a light mulch and wintered exactly as spinach is often managed. Sow in drills a foot or 18 inches apart and cover lightly. Work the ground thoroughly, and give an abundance of water. The leaves may be blanched, but are usually eaten green. It matures in sixty to sixty-five days during good spring weather. Only one variety is offered by most American seedsmen, but several sorts are known to European gardeners. It is sometimes used for a pot-herb, being served like spinach, but is chiefly valuable for salads. It is rather tasteless, and is not so popular as cress or lettuce on that account, but persons who prefer a very mijd salad, or who would rather taste the salad dressing, will doubtless fancy corn-salad. It is best served in mixture with other herbs, as lettuce, water-cress or white mustard. It is easy to grow. There are no special enemies. F.A. Waugh.
