Green Leaf Vegetables for Winter Salads and Cooking 
Greens and salads are highly beneficial to health as they are good 
sources of minerals and are also rich in vitamins. They are easily 
grown, very palatable, and may be had in a wide range of flavors 
from the piquant tang of endive to the mild taste of lettuce. Com- 
binations of greens and salads are highly desirable and pleasing. 
“Greens” grow best during the cool seasons of the year. In addi- 
tion to spring plantings, you should plan to sow again in mid- or 
late summer for fall use or later where winters are not too severe. 
Lettuce, the brittle, tender leaves of the crisp and loosehead 
types; Endive, the refreshing flavor of the curled or the tangy 
taste of the Batavian Escarolle; these are the universal favorites. 
Then, there is Chinese Cabbage with its delicate celery-lettuce 
flavor, and for many weeks after frost you can use the regular 
Cabbage. Others include Broccoli, with its rich green, sprouting 
heads; Brussels Sprouts, whose flavor seems to improve after a 
light frost as does Kale; Chives, with its mild onion-like flavor; 
Bunching Onions for green scallions; Leeks, sweet flavored, 
thick stems; Collards, good boiling green with cabbage-like flavor;

Corn Salad, well known Lamb’s Lettuce; Mustard Greens, 
splendid for salad or cooked like spinach; Parsley, a “‘must”’ in 
every garden, for garnishing or dried for use as flavoring; Spinach, 
frosty nights improve the color; Swiss Chard, popular for boiling 
greens as is Spinach Beet; Turnip Greens, use the Foliage 
variety, leaves have a mild flavor when cooked like spinach. 
Remember, too, to provide for Beets, Carrots, Turnips, 
Rutabagas for winter use; they may be pitted in the garden or 
stored in a cool cellar. Parsnips and Oyster Plant may be left in 
the ground and dug whenever you can get into the soil during the 
winter or leave them for use in early spring. 
Keep your garden working. The excellence of a garden consists 
not in its size, but in the yield and quality of its produce. See that 
it is well planned and well cared for. Even a small garden is an 
important addition to the family income and health.
