In Southwestern Russia, between the
Baltic and the Black seas, the sunflower is
universally cultivated in fields, gardens
and borders, and every part of the plant is
turned to practical account. A hundred
pounds of the seeds yields forty pounds of
oil, and the pressed residue forms a wholet
some food for the cattle, as do also the
leaves and green stalks, cut up small, all
being eagerly eaten. The fresh flowers
when a little short of full bloom, furnish n
dish for the table which bears favorable
comparison with the antichoke. They CON
tain a large quantity of honey, and so
prove an attraction to bees. The seeds are
a valuable food for poultry ground into
-four, pastry and cakes can be made from
them, and boiled in alum water they yield
n blue coloring matter.
