MEDFOTCD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDfOKH OHKUON. FK DAY, MAY II. mi.i. PAGE FIVE 4 i MNDEUOH. iff A DESPISED VEED lew CULTIVATED Demand for More Greens and Salad Vegetables Seen in U. S. Apptizing and Valuable in Diet When you were a child, dandelions were weeds. It Is tme you ate them as greens, and you still remember how good they were when they came on the table sprinkled with crisp, appetizing bits of bacon or salt pork. But probably you had weeded those dandelions out of the yard, or had gone out with your basket and cut them from the pasture or along the roadside. Does it surprise you. then, to tind that dandelions are now cultivated for market on a big scale and chip ped across the country by truck aud by carload? what you buy In your market may come from nearby, but if you live In a northern city the chances are the dandelions you may get have made a long Journey from market gardens farther south. New Englandera. although they have been cultivating dandelions for years, do not grow al! they use. and the Bos ton market, ns well as New York and Philadelphia, buys dandelions from New Jersey, especially at the first of the season. Chicago ships them in from Texas. The dandelion Is. now a full-fledged article of Interstate commerce. Eating More Greens The fact is, of course, that the American people are eating greens and salad vegetables of all kinds as they never used to do. That is partly because such perishable foods can now be shipped across the country quickly and safely. It Is partly be cause the city markets supply the wants of so many foreign-born Amer icans who are used to and eager for the green leafy foods. But it Is large ly because more Americans of all kinds have acquired a taste for greens and salads and an apprecia tion of their food value. Not count ing spinach or cabbage or lettuce or celery, there were 2.321 carloads of different kinds of greens shipped to market last year, besides uncounted lots shipped by truck. In the un counted truck loads, as well as In the freight cars, were dandelions, mustard, colIard.s, kale, turnip tops, beet tops, and several others In cluding sour grass, which New York buys from Florida. The gardeners and seedsmen, of course, are keeping up with the times. They are improving the stock of the familiar garden greens and produc ing new varieties of kale, mustard, dandelions, and turnip greens. In stead of depending for turnip greens upon the tops of turnips grown or iginally for their roots, market gar deners now plant, for greens, the "seven-top turnip." which goes chief ly to tops and has only small roots. Swiss chard, due in the early sum mer. Is a beet which has been de veloped for Its tops Instead of Its roots, and makes excellent greens all through the summer when other greens are scarce. Collards. a mem ber of the cabbage family which grows a rosette of leaves on a tall stalk, have long been a standby In parts of the south, where they can be grown almost the year round. Now the northern cities are buying col lards from the south. Broccoli Wins Popularity Then broccoli. This favorite Ital ian vegetable has been grown com mercially in this country for only about eight years but now it Is sell ing everywhere In our markets. Poke salad Is still one of the wild greens, but we can often get It in the farmers' markets. Don't overlook the other wild greens, some of which you may be weeding out of your garden. There is purslane In partic ular, with its thick Juicy little leaves. It Is coarser than Its relative, the gay little portulaca of your flower gar den, but it Is very good to eat, cither cooked or as a raw salad with . a dressing of vinegar and bacon fat. or vineear and salad oil. Then there mm Is the pigweed, or red-root, which has a bright reddish-pink root, an is very much of a nuisance In the garden unless you use it as greens. Still another of the common wild greens Is lambsquartrs, which also Is oftend called pigweed and some times goosefoot. The leaves and the tender tips of the branches are th- parts of this weed to use. Don't Cook Ixtng To cook greens properly any klna of greens says the Bureau of Home Economics, use very little water and do not cook 'them long. Usually no water Is needed except that which clings to the leaves aftr washing Cook them only until they are wilt ed, stirring occasionally, and do not put a lid on the kettle. They will lose vitamin value If cooked too long, and they will lose their green color if cooked under a cover. Serve with a seasoning of lemon Juice or vinegar, salt and pepper, or with salt pork or bacon fat. Of the salad greens, another Ital ian favorite Is becoming more fam iliar in our markets. This Is escarole. or Batavian endive, with Us broad curling green leaves. Like all the green leafy vegetables, escarole Is rich In Iron and In vitamins. With tender young spring onions, raw young carrots sliced or cut lengthwise in slender sticks and laid on a thick bed of garden lettuce or escarole, you have a tempting salad that Is good for "spring fever" an ailment which is more than likely due to a shortage of Iron and vita mins in your winter diet. Onions Not Alone Spring onions, of course, are not the only members of the onion fam ily on the AprH markets. There are leeks and garlic, chives and shallots all more commonly used in Eur ope than In the United States, and therefore shipped from the market gardens to cities that have a consid erable foreign - born population. Leeks, however, with thicker stem and less bulb than onions, are often found in the "soup bunch," or in the "vegetable bouquet" that Is sold at your door. They are especially good in soups and stews. Chives, with their grass-like tops growing from small clustering bulbs, have a delicate flavor which Is often preferred to onions. As an appetizer, spread a potato chip with a soft mixture of cream or cottage cheese and chopped chives using the slen der green tops and you have a very tempting morsel. Or add a ball of the cheese and chopped chives to a spring salad plate. Shallots, too. are mild in flavor. They grow In "cloves," or divisions of the bulb, and are used fresh, whereas garlic, which also grows in cloves, is used fresh or dried. Shal lots are now com'ig into the mar kets from Louisiana and other dis tricts In the south. VIRGINIA FETZER MEN BY DEATH Virginia E.
