JUST A DANDELION, YELLOW DANDELION, BUT 0, JOY-JUICE

No more does the ardent landscape gardener dash madly onto the front lawn, knife in hand, to rend the heart of the dandelion. No, he gathers the

utsiquitous yellow flower by bushels, J

tenderly and bears it carefully into the house. "What is the reason for this sudden popularity of the once despised dandelion?" the uninitiated questions. "Come here and I'll tell you," the wise guy answers. And thereupon there ensues some whispered conversation and later writing on paper. Then the enlightened one hurries home and catches his wife in the act of tearing the dandelion plant from the front yard. Loudly he commands her to stop. Low pitched conversation and consultation with the paper given him, occur. A visit to Richmond flower shops failed to Bhow any demand for dandelions for display purposes. The violet and rose are still supreme for bouquets for the "sweet things." Finally the writer grew desperate and wandered up to one of those recently converted dandelion lovers. But the convert gave the questioner a haughty stare and sarcastically answered, "Who wants to know?" When the writer answered, "I do," the convert came back with "How da ya like the way ya found out?" and turned on his heel. But persistence finally wins out. After the writer had cornered one of his friends, the friend answered: "Boy, you'd be surprised. All you have to do is to pick a huge mess of dandelion greens, treat them properly and you'll soon have a beverage that will make the less-than-one-half-of-one-percenters turn green with anger. Boy, the stuff has got a kick that makes a Missouri mule lay down and die." Thereupon there ensued more sundry writings and hurryings home to prevent further massacre upon the wonderful dandelion plant.
