Preserving Friends 



One of our good friends, Mrs. Dave 

 Marks, San Antonio, Texas, sent her 

 favorite preserve recipe. Try it. 

 Put: 4 c. hulled and washed berries in 

 heavy pan, include some under ripe 

 ones. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar, 

 bring to a boil (covered) for 1 minute. 

 Add: 3 cups sugar, bring to boil uncov- 

 ered for 20 minutes; stir occasionally 

 to keep from sticking to pan. BE 

 SURE TO TIME EXACTLY. 

 Pour into bowl and leave over-night; 

 put in small sterilized jars, with wax

Growing Strawberries in Barrels 



See facing page 



The idea of growing strawberries in barrels appeals to those who love 

 growing plants but have only limited space. These barrels are pretty enough 

 for use anywhere in the house and they will be an added attraction to the 

 patio or garden. Watch the plants grow and bloom; enjoy their beauty and 

 life; and then, glory be, harvest some delicious strawberries for your table. 



Order 25 plants for your barrel from'our list of many varieties. When you 

 receive your barrel, fill it with good rich soil and set the plants in the holes 

 already bored for them, with a few left to fill the top. 



For easier watering — when the barrel is one-third full of soil, place on 

 end in the center of the barrel a 1 or 2 inch tile, metal pipe or wooden channel 

 long enough to extend up even with the surface. The tube should have holes all 

 around, and up and down to allow for circulation of air and water. Just water 

 through this center pipe to give the lowest plants the moisture they need.
