What an odd shoot? 



Before potatoes, the ancients used the root. 



JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE 



Plant the same as Artichoke. The tuber of 

 the root is used for food, cooked like the po- 

 tato, boiled or mashed, with butter added. 



Care should be taken to gather all the roots 

 and not allow any to remain in the ground, as 

 the small roots will grow and produce inferior 

 plants. 



CARDOONS 



Native of Canada. 



The Cardoon Artichoke is planted and 

 grown like artichokes. The stem of the leaves 

 is the edible part after being blanched, and is 

 used in salad, soup, or stew. The leaves may 

 be kept a long time, if covered with sand and 

 stored in a cool place.
