Where Our Vegetables Originated.

Where Our Vegetables Originated.
In 1856 the potato was introduced
into Europe by the a5aniards, who
found it in Chile. At almost the
same date it was introduced into
England by the English who found it
cultivated by the Indians in North
America. The sweet potato and the
artichoke are also American vege-
tables. Satisfy is found growing
wild over Greece, Italy and Al
geria. Turnips and radishes came
originally from central Europe, Cab
bage, which is of remote origin, is
believed to be a European vege-
table. Asparagus found its origin
i'm temperate Western Asia, Eggplant
came to US from India. The carrot
grows wild throughout Europe, Asia
Minor, Siberia, China Abyssinia.
Northern Africa and the Canary Is
lands. The tomato comes from
