Show Dandelions Will Be Popular. Dandelions will yet become popular as an article of diet with the people. They have always been so abundant that they have not been appreciated. Now some eastern canning establishments establish-ments are advertising for dandelions to can. They are about to be put on the market, as a staple article of food, to be had at any time of the year. If they are so good for factories to can, they are also good for tlie home gardener gar-dener to can. Our schools are now teaching the science of canning, which will be a help in making the dandelion dande-lion green available. One of the great advantages in favor of this vegetable is that it is extremely hardy. It grows as far noth as the shores of the Arctic Arc-tic ocean. Some of the seed houses carry dandelion seeds. Anyone, however, how-ever, can gather his own seed, and it should prove interesting to experiment along the line of raising dandelions from native seed on very rich ground and under garden conditions. |
