The cool-weather species come
first, chiefly the salad plants,
of which lettuce is the leader.
There are two main types-the
commercial lettuce with leaves
rolled into a tight ball for con-
venience in trade handling, and
the loose-leafed type, which is
better for the home garden as
it is richer in vitamins and food
value and can be picked a few
leaves at a time, instead of lift
ing the whole head. There are
many varieties, such as the big
Simpsons Curled, the bright
Grand Rapids and the heat-re-
sisting Oak Leaf. They can all
be readily raised from seed,
though young plants may be
bought.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1959-03-12


Other spring greens should be
grown to complement lettuce in
the salad bowl. These include
cress or peppergrass, mustard,
radishes and chives, which are
miniature and mild members of
the onion tribe, raised from
little bulblets for their long
leaves like green knitting nee
dies. Their heartier, more robust
cousin is the scallion, or bunch
ing onion, which does not make
a round bulb and is usually
grown from tiny onions, known
as sets.
The secret of having all these
saladings in perfection is moist
soil that is rich in plant food,
especially nitrogen for leafy
plants, since they should grow
quickly, yet all have light root
systems, not fit for foraging far
in search of food. They need a
well-prepared bed in the sun
light of spring.

Major Vocation

Everyone who enjoys sup
erb craftsmanship should not
fail to see the exhibition Of
recent drawings by Peter
Takal in the Old Smith
sonian Building through next
Thursday. These rs draw
ings and watercolors and a
few prints are part Of a selec-
ton of 60, being circulated
by the Smithsonian Institu-
tons Travelling Exhibition
Service. The works we're
drawn from an exhibition of
nearly 100 held last Novem-
Der at The Cleveland Mu-
scum of Art.
Peter Takal, born in Rou-
mania in 1905. had achieved
such distinction by the time
he was 30. that he was given
one-man shows in a Chicago
gallery in 1887 and '39. and
followed the latter show to
the United States. He lives in
New York City and has a
farm in the Pocono Noun
tainS in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Takal's drawings, pen
and India ink, dry brush
and watercolor. and other
media, are beautiful, finished
works, ends in themselves,
not means to an end, as is so

ings. Drawing is his major
vocation. He has developed
