VITAMINES IN YELLOW FOODS. 
Green vegetables are known to contain many vitamines which help growth and 
prevent disease. Recently it was found that yellow vegetables, such as carrots, 
sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and rutabagas, are richer in certain kinds than the 
white varieties. Yellow turnips are specially recommended.
