After a winter's diet of meat and cereal food, succulent vegetable matter is a necessity, and "greens," coming after the winter vegetables are gone, and before the new summer crop has appeared, make healthful change. Any wild or cultivated plant whose leaves are edible at all, is good for greens. Many of the best greens are.wild plants. Dandelions, wild mustard, lettuce, sor rel, lamb's quarter, "narrow" dock, plantain, milk-weed, 'cress (pepper grass) and purslane are all good. Spinach is the commonest of all domestic greens. Many plants have curative value, and many old-fashioned people often credit their health to an annual course of dan delion greens in the spring.
