Oh, dandy-lion with mane so white. 

 The children blow your seed so light. 

 Old women use the weed for tea. 

 In every garden a pest you be. 



DANDELION 



A domestic variety with large leaves is 

 grown in the garden for the leaves which are 

 used for salad and greens like spinach. 



It is commonly used as a tonic for the blood. 



Do not let it go to seed. "A word to the 

 wise is sufficient." The wild dandelion is a 

 pest in our gardens and destroys many a fine 

 grass lawn. 



"Herbes that 'have on them cool dews of the night." 



ENDIVES 



A vegetable grown like lettuce. Sow seed 

 in June or July. Thin out plants to six inches 

 apart. When grown the outer leaves should 

 be brought up around the plant and tied to- 

 gether. This whitens or blanches the inner 

 leaves and heart.
