(4)Succulent fresh vegetables when available should be used in the dietary in preference to dried vegetables. They should be freed from stalks, decayed and llbrous portions and cut up ready for the pot before being weighted out. Arrangements must be made for an ample and continuous supply of vegetables during the hot and rainy months, more especially those kinds which are of antiscorbutic value such as onions. Roman cabbages, potatoes when obtainable and country radishes. Brinjals, melons, pumpkins and sags have very little nutritive or anit-scorbutic properties.
