The J. Bolgiano Seed Co., Baltimore, Md. 



"National" Aluminum Pressure Cooker 



The high cost of living can be reduced materially by the xise 

 of our Aluminum Pressure Cooker and many hours of time can 

 be saved by the housewife every day in the year. The outfit is 

 complete in every detail and should be a part of the equipment 

 of every kitchen. It is made of highly polished aluminum and 

 the fittings are all of high-grade brass, which also adds greatly 

 to the appearance of the cooker. The cooker may also be used 

 for canning in small quantities. 



The steam, gauge registers the number of pounds pressure in 

 the cooker at all times and is absolutely reliable. The petcock 

 is to create free circulation of steam and should be left entirely 

 open until all the cold air is forced out of the cooker and steam 

 commences to pass off, when it should be partly closed. The 

 special safety valve, which is made specially for use with the 

 "National" Pressure Cooker, is adjustable so that it can be set at 

 any desired point and will automatically blow off the excess 

 steam so as to maintain the desired pressure for the necessary 

 length of time. This is one of the features of the "National" 

 which will not be found in any other style of pressure cooker. 

 There is absolutely no danger connected with the operation of it. 

 and a complete receipt book, together with instructions for oper- 

 ating, are furnished with each outfit.

Consists of one 12x18 inch steel retort, with cover, packing, 

 etc., steam gauge, one perforated galvanized crate, one safety 

 valve, one petcock, one triangle and one thumb nut wrench. 



In order to be prepared to can all varieties of fruit, vegetables, 

 meats, fish, etc., it is absolutely necessary to have a "Steam Pres- 

 sure Canner," as this is the only way you can be assured of per- 

 fect sterilization. A great many vegetables and all meats require 

 a pressure of 250 degrees Fahrenheit for perfect sterilization, and 

 the only way this can be attained is with steam under pressure. 

 Our "National" Junior No. 1, which is illustrated above, is par- 

 ticularly well adapted for canning in the home and also for use 

 by Government demonstrators. It will hold ten quart jars or 

 fifteen pints at one loading. Tin cans may also be used. With 

 one of our small canners you can put up enough fruit, vegetables, 

 meats, etc., to supply the table for the entire year at a great 

 saving.

A Few Reasons for Canning in Sanitary Tin Cans with 



The Burpee Home Can 

 Sealer 



Marketable. When canning is 

 done in the regular marketable 

 size tin cans, much fruit and 

 vegetables that now go to waste 

 can be canned and sold. 



Simple and Easy to Operate. 

 The machine is simple, inexi>en- 

 sive, easy to operate and can be 

 clamped to any table. One ma- 

 chine can be used to seal the No. 

 2 and No. S (quart size) cans. 

 A separate machine is used for 

 sealing the gallon cans. 



Receipts. A book of reliable receipts for canning fruit, vege- 

 tables, soups, meat and fish is supplied with each machine. 



Costs Less. The cost of tin cans is much less than glass jars 

 and there is absolutely no danger of breakage. 



No Loss. When properly ster- ilized, or cooked, there is no 

 danger of spoiling, as the cans plways seal airtight. 



Flavor Retained. The delicious flavor of the fresh fruits and 

 vegetables is not lost when canning in tin cans, because the cans 

 are sealed airtight before the cooking is done. 



Reduces Labor and Fuel. By piling the cans one on top of 

 another when being cooked, twice the amount can be cooked in 

 the same time.
