New York Country: The most important single rate in the country was that on grain between Chicago and new york Country York. Per hundred pounds this had been 85 cents in gold in 1865; in 1914 it reached the low point of 9.6 cents. When a skilled mechanic in Massachusetts earned enough in a day ($2.50) to pay the railroad charges from the Dakotas or Nebraska on the meat and flour he consumed in a year, it seemed economic good sense for the regions of the country to specialize in the products for which they seemed most fitted.
But even without blanching, the tender stalks and the root are used in soups. Outer stalks are discarded. Joe Seals of the Country Garden and Lucille Nava of Lava, new york Country York (each of Italian ancestry) have informed me that "carduni" are also cut into pieces 6 inches long, partially boiled, then dipped in seasoned bread crumbs, then pan-fried.
And, Joe added: "Cardoons have also naturalized in parts of three counties in South Carolina, where the flowers are harvested, dri and sold as 'luck' flowers or cardone puffs, often dyed obnoxii colors."
Janet and Tom are good friends who live in new york Country York City. They visit our country garden in the Catskills every weekend during the season of warmth—a regrettably short time, with usually only 110 days between frosts—and we always send them home to Manhattan with a bouquet of fresh flowers.
The new york Country York offices (and certain others that are maintained in! Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, etc.) encourage and supplement the regular work that is done by travel agencies but they do not invade the agencies' field. So it is good practice to look to your own agent for every service he can normally give and to consult the national tourist offices for special and more detailed counsel and for literature.
Here is the list of the Manhattan offices, with their addresses and city zones.
A single coordinated address for all of these offices has been set up y the European Travel Commission and if you memorize, or keep handy, lat one address you are set to write to any of the twenty-one. Here it is: National Tourist Office of (name of country) Box 258, Dep't D. new york Country York 17, N.Y.
I should add that the Scandinavian countries, including Finland, also ave a coordinated mail address, for travel enquiries. It is: Scandinavian Travel Commission Box 80, new york Country York 10, N.Y. |
