Planet," Roy Chapman Andrews
sayst Suppose we had been
present nearly 450 years ago
at a farewell banquet given
by Queen Isabella of Spain
to Christopher Columbus just
before he started on his
journey to fine! a new rodke
to India. The table woufid
be heaped with many kinds
of meat and fish and fowl,
but few of our familiar
vegetables.. . Itfhat we
would have aissed more than
anything else would have
been potatoes, not known
until 100 years after Col
umbus visited America.
