To dream of this valuable vegetable, denotes prosperity in life; if you have children, they will thrive; if you are in love, your suit will be successful. If a maiden dreams of them, it denotes that she will marry her present sweetheart, have many children, and be very happy; to a farmer it denotes abundant crops.
