Mrs. Henry Lou Owens Cleans Watercress At The Argo Dam, April 1949
Year:
1949
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, April 14, 1949
Caption:
Sitting in the sun along the edge of the Huron River at the Argo dam is Mrs. Henry Lou Owens of 1253 N. Main St., who is cleaning "a mess of greens," she has just gathered nearby. The greens are not, in this case, dandelions, but a variety of watercress which make fine eating, according to Mrs. Owens. She advises boiling them with a dab of salt pork or bacon.
