Plant Treasures That 

 Winter Cannot Kill 



HTHE WINTER of 1918 proved one of the severest tests

 beyond a doubt, that certain plants cannot be killed by 

 cold weather but that it will rather stimulate their bloom- 

 ing power for the following season. You, who have losses 

 to replace among shrubbery or in the hardy border, will

 "Empty Jars are Slackers!" 



A clear, concise and thoroughly practical presentation of 

 every stage of the various processes of preserving food. It 

 describes each operation simply and in such detail that 

 any one trying for the first time to preserve garden products 

 will be able to proceed from A to Z without mishap. Beside 

 the canning of all fruits and vegetables (described in alpha- 

 betical order) the author takes up canning in honey — a new 

 subject — and drying. 



This is the book for the beginner, while the expert, always on 

 the lookout for new ideas, will find it especially valuable 

 for the many new ideas picked up from thousands of experi- 

 menters.
