Sour grass sounds more like a

Somewhere among the teeming

accustomed In their native lands.

AniSe, another odd member of
the vegetable kingdom which thrives
on Jill farms. looks something like
celery. has a flavor similar to licor-
ice and Is eaten raw. Jill Brothers
have rs acres In the Valley.
This plant is indigenous TO Egypt
but is cultivated extensively in
Spain and Malta. Seed Of the
plant has an aromatic odor ana a
pleasant warm taste. II Is largely
employed In the manufacture OF
cordials IN which form II Is known
as aniseed or anisette.
Dandelions are raised for green's
on quite an extensive scale by jill
Brothers. The plant is cooked like
other green's and many Americans
are familiar with II IN this form.
Dandelion wine also Is made by
boiling the buds and letting the
Juice ferment but the plant never
reaches the bud stage in the VAL
ley. To be suitable for greens It
must be cut while tender.

The average person would think
an acre of shallots enough to sup

It's bulbs are divided into smaller

is milder than onions and the white

Shallots are expensive to grow.
