TARRAGON 
USES. — The tender shoots and the young leaves are often 
used in salads, and with steaks, chops, etc. especially by the 
French. They are often used as an ingredient in pickles. 
Stews, soups, croquettes and other meat preparations are 
also flavored with tarragon, and for flavoring flsh sauces it is 
especially esteemed. 
_ Probably the most popular way it is employed, however, 
IS as a decoction in vinegar. For this purpose, the green parts 
are gathered preferably in the morning and after washing are 
placed in jars and covered with the best quality vinegar for a 
few days. The vinegar is then drawn oflf as needed. In France 
the famous vinegar of Maille is made in this wav. 
_ The leaves may be dried in the usual way if desired. For 
this purpose they are gathered in midsummer. A second 
cutting may be made in September. Plants, 25 cts. each, $2.50 
per doz.
