Scurvy Grass

This is found wild in some marshy districts of our country, but probably it was first introduced into our gardens from Holland, where it grows very plentifully. The leaves of this plant are exceedingly pungent, therefore the best way of eating them is between bread and butter, as by this means they are rendered less offensive to the palate, and their whole virtues, which are very considerable, are taken into the stomach.
