GUMBo. For many years DIR. G. P. Lombard
has had "A fine garden at his summer home on
the North Shore, Northport, and a common
enquiry from his friends has been. "Well, doc
tor, how are your pine apples and bananas COM
ing on" Recent developments have made
this less of joke than it appeared at first.
Last year we were given some peanuts grown
in Belfast This year Mr. Smith has demon
strated at Pearl Brook farm that you raise
fine tobacco here if you choose. Now Hon. J.
P Taiaferro, who has a fine garden at his
summer home, has, among other things, okra,
an essential ingredient in that succulent South
ern dish, gumbo. We had supposed this to be
a tropical plant, but expect to hear of its sue
cessful growth in our wonderful Maine eli
mate. You will probably find receipts for
gumDo in many cook books, but we should
hesitate to endorse any of them, fearing that
there might be something lacking in ingredi-
ents or process to produce the delectable dish
prepared by the colored chefs of the Southland
We only know that if you like things high
seasoned you bruise one of the small peppers
of which tobasco sauce is made and rub it over
the bottom of a soup plate, then you have a
heaping tablespoonful of rice, cooked so that
every kernel is flaky and snow white, and then
the gumbo chicken, oyster, crab, or whatever
the chief ingredient may be-is ladled upon
the rice, the okra imparting to the rich gravy
glutenous quality, and you have before. you q
dish fit for King.
