Canada’s Food Guide telis

‘us that we should be eating

at leastfour slices of bread
every day to remain strong
and healthy. But in spite of
this good advice, the average
Canadian eats less than this
recommended amount. of
bread daily. In fact, bread is
often looked upon as a filler,
an accompaniment to the
main course, as an extra to
be eaten when desired, or,
worst of all, as fattening, to
be avoided like the plague!

Joan Fielden, the Bakery
Council of Canada’s Nutrit-
ion Consultant savs, ‘fRread

Carrot tops, for example,
make interesting and unusu-
al plants. According to the
new Ortho book ‘‘House
Plants Indoors/Outdoors’’ a
large carrot with some of the
leaf tips still showing on the
end, is the ideal plant
starter. The slimmer part of
the root should be cut off
leaving the carrot top with a
length of two to three inches.

opposite sides and put a
decorative cord or string
through these. Then hang

the carrot in a_ bright
window.
The hollowed-cut part

should then be filled with
water and re-filled as often
as necessary to keep the
moisture there. Soon, leaves
will begin to sprout out of the
lower. part, . making ©. an

' last several weeks.

Sweet potatoes root readily -
when placed half in and half-
out of a container of water. .

As many of the sweet
potatoes sold in supermar-
kets nave been treated so
that they will not sprout, you

will have to search out one

Until the potato vine gets too
large, say the editors of this

book, change the-water once.

seed; these will hold it over -

the top of a glass of water
filled so that the base of the
seed just rests in the
moisture.

The glass should be set,
says ‘‘House Plants Indoors/
Outdoors’, in a bright

_window and the water ievel
kept constant. In time you

will see roots form, then a
green sprout. Eventually,
you will need to transplant
the young avocado to a pot of

equal parts of soil, sand and ©

peat moss, which should be

kept moist. Pinching out the |
growing tip of the young
plant will encourage it to
branch.
