Dandelion

The Creoles long ago discovered the possibilities of the Dandelion under cultivation. The Wild Dandelion, as all know, is a common and hardy perennial plant. It is found in luxuriance in the Louisiana meadows and pastures. The deeply-notched leaves closely resemble Chicoree, so extensively used as a salad and as a green. Through cultivation, the Dandelion is now numbered among the best of the early spring salads.
