@RISP, green salads should play an i'm
portant part in planning the early
spring menus, as not only are they
appetizing and wholesome, but they may
also be utilized as the main course for the
evening dinner (when preceded by good
soup and followed with a hearty dessert)
thereby etfecting material saving in the
butchers bill.
On Tuesday and Saturday such dinners
are planned. The crab meat salad for
Wednesdays luncheon can be made fro,:, a
quarter OF pound of faxed crab meat Cor
the canned crab meat can be used). Add
once and half the quantity of Shredded
lettuce, with a tablespoonful of chonned
dill pickle, moisten with boiled or mayon-
naise dressing and serve in halved peppers
that have been boiled for ten minutes then
drained and chilled.
In making all green salads, the edible
green must be washed and thoroughlv
dried for if any moisture adheres to the
leaves, the dressing will not coat the leaves
properly: Many. of the lighter varieties
of dressing can be most easily made. by
placing the ingredients in small fruit
jar, adjusting the rubber and cover and
shaking briskly until slightly thickened.
To make the asparagus and tomato
salad peel and slice the tomatoes, cut a
circle from the centre of each slice and Law
on lettuce leaves. Place in the opening of
eacn circle three or four asparagus tips
leither freshly cooked or canned) and
dress with the following: Half cupful of
vegetable oil, the juice of half lemon and
nall an orange, one-quarter of a teaspoon
full each of salt and paprika, one teaspoon
full of Worcestershire sauce, one teaspoon
full of grated onion and half teaspoonful
of mixed mustard. Blend in jar as lust
described.

of "Henderson's Bush Lima" which is a
dwarf Sleva, for few jars for winter use
Extra beans of any sort may be planted in
quantities depending on available space, the
yield to be dried for winter consumption.
Remember the vegetable soup for a cold
winter night when planting your garden.
Clean and prepare any proportion liked of
carrots, onions, celery stalks (green ones or
even leaves will do) parsley, potatoes, cab
bage and turnips "a relatively small amount of
the last two) and a sweet pepper or two.
Cut up enough skinned tomatoes to equal the
other ingredients in quantity Banch, cold
dip, pack in sterilized jars and finish by the
cold pack method, boiling for ninety minutes.
This is one of the most valuable products
imaginable, and, thinned with stock, hot water
to which boullon cube or two has been add
ed, or even plain water, it yields delicious
soup through the winter, when it is difficult
and expensive to obtain such a variety of
vegetables at the same time.
If one wishes to include spinach among the
canned vegetables, the New Zealand variety is
most economical of garden space, as it is cut
instead of pulled, and grows very rapidly. It
is valuable addition to our dietary and es-

Rather, pick and sort your supply, use the

paintings of a row each as long as your space
will allow, sowing the seed literally, and

Peas are delicious canned, but being a
limited crop, enough surplus cannot be
raised for this purpose except in stable
garden. Go without picking" occasionally
and can them so that you may add a few
jars to your collection. Swiss chard should
be included for canning. 1t grows in abun-
dance throughout the season and may be cut
IN inch lengths and canned, or packed down,
like string beans, in crooks with salt Re-
member to press down firmly, that the con-

Tomatoes in All Styles
Tomatoes are the vegetable "par excel
lence" for canning, and it is our custom to
start many seedlings, beside those set in our
regular rows, and put in plant or two wher-
ever an empty space is seen. We use Earl
lana," "Chalk's Early Jewel" and "Stone," ma
turing in order named. Set three or four
feet apart. Self-sown seedlings always ap-
pear among our corn and we allow them to
grow and get much fine late fruit from them.
Our main crop is staked and trellised using
uprights (six feet in height, set twenty feet
apart), of inch iron post to which is wired
New-York tribune., 1918-04-21

three rows of rather light wire. The plants
are tied with raffia to the support If one
does not wish to take the trouble to stake.
Dwarf Giant and Dwarf Stone are ex-
cellent varieties, and may be set within tw.
feet of each other.
Tomatoes may be successfully and rapidly
canned by the open kettle method if pre-
ferred; and in addition to the regular product,
highly seasoned tomato puree for soups and
sauces is most useful. When preparing the
fruit for this purpose take out those of small,
uniform size, to can whole for winter salads,
using the cold pack method.
Summer squash is prolific vegetable, and
four hills should give an abundance for sum-
mer use, and also for canning whenever it

Spring Greens To Be

By MARGARET HAMELIN

TIME first green vegetables, although their
nutritive value is small, meet real need
and are most healthful. Early home
grown vegetables are, however, scarce, and
those that come from the South are often too
hgh-priced for the housewife with the limited
weekly budget. Dandelion greens, on the con-
hary Zone of our first spring greens), are
delicious, healthful and inexpensive. They
contain valuable mineral salts and grow freely
IN our pastures, and often where they are not
wanted, on our lawns, but are also cultivated

be first washed, soaked in cold water and the
water changed once while they are boiling
Add a small pinch Of baking soda to the first
water, to eliminate the bitter taste that may
be present. They are very quickly cooked
requiring only about ten minutes Of active
boiling
Fresh dandelion leaves make delicious
salad as well. Place the leaves in a large pan
Of very cold water and wash them thoroughly;
then dry each leaf carefully as you would
lettuce. Lay the leaves in chilled salad bowl,
cover with chopped hard boiled egg and serve
with vinaigrette dressing. This salad should
be very crisp.
The cultivated dandelion is road-leaved,
crisp and tender, and when planted in the
home garden in rich soil yields an abundance
