and grit, and must be carefully wash
ed and rinsed. The water should not be
poured out of the pan over the greens,
but greens should be lifted out Of the
water so that the dirt which has set
tied to the bottom may not get book
on the leaves, and for the same reason
the cooked greens" should be lifted
out of the water in which they are
boiled.
The most common way of using
dandelions is a potherb or greens. AS
with most green vegetables, it is a
mistake to cook them more than is
needed to make them tender. If they
are boiled with 1-8 teaspoonful (level)
of cooking soda to each quart of
greens used, they will keep their color
better. Young dandelions may also
be used uncooked as salad, a custom
less common in this country than in
Europe, where the tender plants are
sometimes blanched like asparagus. If
more dandelions are available than
can be used while they are fresh, they
may be preserved for future use. They
may be canned by the method used by
the canning clubs for spinach, or
they may be "put down" in salt &C.
cording to a household method. In
many homes it is a common practice
to preserve dandelion greens with salt
in stone crooks, putting in first a
layer of greens, then a layer of salt,
then more greens, and so on, until
the crock is filled. The dandelions
are then covered with a close-fitting
plate or board, on which a weight "a
clean piece of marble or a stone) is
placed to keep the greens packed
solid.
Other Wild Plants
Other wild plants used as potherbs
are curly dock, pigweed or lambs
quarters, chickweed, mustard shoots
purple milkweed shoots, young horse
radish leaves, marsh marigold (some-
times called American cowslip), roke
sprouts, pepper cress, purslane or
"pusley," and in the southwestern
states some sorts of cactus leaves and
stalks. If the bitter or acrid flavor
is too strong, as is frequently the
case with horse radish leaves or poke

WILD GREENS AND SALAD
PLANTS MAY Re us

Washington, May 2.-Many of the
wild plants that accompany the adj
vent of spring car be used advanta-
geously in the household. Before
modern methods of marketing, stor-
ing, and preserving made it possible
to have vegetables throughout the
year, these plants were eagerly
sought for by housekeepers to fur
nish relief from the monotonous win
ter fare. Even now they will form
a welcome change, and, above all,
they may be had for the trouble Of
picking, as substitutes for purchased
greens.
Foremost among these plants is the
dandelion. Its use as a vegetable is so
common that it is sold in many city
markets. Occasionally it is cultivated
by market gardeners, but much more
frequently the plants sold are wild
me- and ought to cost less than cul-
tivated greens. When some n in
the family can dig them near home,
these can be no doubt as to the eco
nomy of using them. If they are
taken from the lawn, there is the
further advantage Of removing a
troublesome incorporating always
that the digging is carefully done.
Only the dandelion should be pulled,
not the grass around it, and the root
should be removed, not broken off at
the top, else several crowns of leaves
may grow in the place of e AS in
most stem and leaf vegetables, the
texture and flavor are both best when
the plants are young.
Must Be Rinsed
Growing as they do close to the
surface of the ground, dandelion
greens are likely to be full of earth

sprouts, for example, it may be lessen
ed by changing the water once OF
twice during cooking. RICHLY cooked,
all Of the plants mentioned are HARM
less. Marsh marigold is sometimes
said to be harmful, but this is not
the case with the cooked greens.
A little later in the season a few
other potherbs appear which, though
cultivated rather than wild, are so sell
dom utilized that to use them means
as much saving as if no care had been
spent to raise them. Among these
are the tops of turnips, radishes,
beets and onions, all of which may be
cooked like spinach or dandelion. The
onion tops should be cut up into inch
lengths. before cooking. They are
excellent served on toast. Cabbage
sprouts are also a favorite when they
are o~btainable.
Salad Plants
There are also a few salad plants
to be had for the picking. Like all
food materials eaten without cook
ing, they must be very carefully wash
ed before. Water cress is perhaps
the one most generally known. 1t is
also cultivated. 1t should never be
eaten if it has been grown where there
is any chance of contamination from
typhoid fever or other disease. This
is true of any vegetable that is un-
cooked, but must be remembered es-
pecially in connection with plants
growing nea water, since the latter
may have carried the disease green's a
long way from the place where the
illness was. Pepper grass or pepper
cress is another wild plant useful for
flavoring other salads, if too sharp
to use alone. Sorrel may also be
used to give a pleasant acid taste to
lettuce or other m~ild-flavored salads,
though the ordinary wild kind is too
sour to use in quantity as a potherb
like the varieties cultivated for that
purpose.
Of plants cultivated in the flower
garden the leaves and unripe seeds Of
nasturtium may be mentioned as a
seasoning for salads.
