Capers
Dear Aunt Daisy, Better ask "Gay," Auckland (Listener, January 4), if her French Caper bushes are sprawling like brambles or have Straight, tall stems with leaves sticking stiffly out from them and_ usually making rows running up to the top. If the latter, what she has is Caper Spurge, a Euphorbia, and while some strains seem to be fairly safe and are used as Capers without trouble, others are not. With French Capers you do not pick when ripe, but pick the flower buds before they open-the best quality, called "nonpareil," are particularly small and immature. I may be’ able later to give source of supply for true French Caper plants-at present in young seedling stage from imported seed--Caprier and Epines.
