Primrose Salad.
From the Boston Transcript

A'"h TAG ooStoh
The American housekeeper is almost ready
10 shed tears over her inability to add that
popular English dish. primrose salad to
her collection of favorite salads And now
why doesn't some inventive gardener of the
amateur or professional sort set about sun
plying the deficiency on American soil
Perhaps there is something in the Amert-
can conscience that protests against de-
vourfng anything so beautiful to look upon
and that Is one reason why the primrose
hasn't hourished alongside other salad
plants. but 1t may just as we'll be argued
from the standpoint of the folk who would
see beauty In everything that the more
beauty we have In our vegetable gardens
the more refining will be the Influences of
things grown there. which is taking
rather impossibly poetic view of a homely
situation. very likely. Nevertheless. there
is no reason why the decorative uses of
the primrose should be at an end when we
find 1t edible. Let it be reckoned as both
decorative and edible. Till then an accept
able salad of cowslips or marsh marigolds,
a cousin several times removed of the Brit
ish primrose. may be acceptable in the
early days OF May when normal appetftes
crave something different"

could not be obtained.
Another purely savage invention, which
