2S DBRS bowl salads not only delight the palate, but when made 
__ J with green leaves, are rich in Vitamin A and other dietary neces- 
___ Sities. Home gardeners may plan their sowings so as to have bowl 
__ Salad materials throughout the season. Besides lettuce, endive of 
_ both curly and broad-leaved types (Escarolle) are excellent, as are 
_ eress and Finnochio. Heading varieties of lettuce may not head 
-seadily in hot weather sections, but they grow rapidly and pro- 
duce an abundance of leaves. Says Emile Foially, salad chef of the 
Hotel Sherman’s famous College Inn, Chicago: “Leaf lettuce and 
‘romaine are far more tender and better flavored; and take the salad 
dressing perfectly, which is important. And the doctors say their 
green leaves have more vitamins. What a combination!’ Quick 
_ ‘growth is essential for all leaf crops. Quantity needed to sow: 30 Ess
