. The natural history of the farm; a guide to the practical study of the sources of our living in wild nature. Natural history. THE EDIBLE WILD ROOTS OF THE FARM 6i would have received more attention among us had it been adapted by nature to ordinary field conditions. But it grows in moist or even wet grounds and in partial shade. The Indian cucumber-root (Fig. 34) bears another sort of tuber that might well qualify it for a place among otu: salad plants, were the plant adapted to fields: but it grows in leaf mould in the shade of dense thickets. The wUd bulbs of the scaly sort that are edible, are the wild onion and a few of its relatives, the wild leeks and garlics. These are valued not for nutritive value but for flavoring. Here, again the cultivated exotic varieties are superior to the wild native ones. There are a number of interesting wild aroids, producing solid bulbs or corms, which were food for the red- man, but which we do not use. They mostly grow in wet soil. They are the arrow arum, the skunk cabbage, the Jack-in-the-pulpit, etc. The related taro is a valuable food plant in the Hawaiian Islands and throughout the South Seas. Like these, it is somewhat coarse, and does not keep well after gathering. So it gets into our markets only after being dried and groimd into flour. The fierce acridity of the Jack-in- the-pulpit, which renders it inedible when raw, is entirely removed by cook- ing. Among the aroids is another that is worthy to be mentioned not as a food plant, but as one that has been valued for its pungency, and for the magic powers widely believed to inhere in its root. It is the sweet-flag (Acornus calamus, . Fig. 34. Indian . cucum- ber-root (Medeola), an excellent salad plant..
