— and this weight has been exceeded on an acre of land. The Artichoke comes next in value to the potato as a food, although it is not so popular as it ought to be. It possesses one property, however, which VEGETABLES AS FOOD 121 the potato does not — it will grow on very poor land, and on land of almost all classes, and should be found in every garden. It contains 18 per cent, of food — i. E. The nutritious and digest- ible material remaining after allowance is made for fibre and water.

Like all roots and bulbs, parsnips should be young — the old roots containing a large proportion of indigestible fibre. Like turnips, this root takes up water in boiling, and it is there- fore better baked and browned.
