in that neighborhood being no better than those growing wild in 
every other part of tne country.) It differs in shape, size and 
quality from every other known variety. For descriptive circu¬

FIVE DIPLOMAS AND TWO PREMIUMS 
AWARDED IN 1855. 
NEW DOUBLE PATENT PROCESS, 
RENDERING LEAKAGE IMPOSSIBLE. 
Above is a representation of a Canister, with a patent attach¬ 
ment, designed for preserving fruits and vegetables of all kinds 
in a perfectly freslt state, with their natural shape, color, and 
flavor. It is termed the 
“SELF-SEALING CAN,” 
and so called because soldering is dispensed with in closing up 
the aperture of the can, and because by the simple turning of a 
cap, the outward atmosphere is wholly excluded. 
With these cans, and directions given with them, sucli fruits 
as Apples, Pears, Peaches, Stra-wberries, Raspberries, Black¬ 
berries, Stc , &c. and such vegetables as Tomatoes, Green 
Peas, Green Corn, Beans, and indeed, every species of either, 
may be preserved for years in tlieir fresh state, without the 
addition of salt, sugar, or acid, or any other preservative prop¬ 
erty whatever. 
Many of these fruits decay and go to waste upon llie trees, 
bushes, and market places. Now they may be 
SAVED AND USED 
out of their season, for table or pastry purposes. 
With this Canistertliey can be preserved economically; as su¬ 
gar and spirits may he dispensed with. 
Health is greatly promoted by the free use of 
FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, 
while, on the contrary, digestion is greatly impeded, and the 
digestive organs impaired, by the use of preserved fruits so com¬ 
pletely saturated with sugar as are the ordinarv sweetmeats 
preserved by families. 
These cans may be used year after year. Full direc¬ 
tions for preserving fruit and vegetables accompany the cans. 
The 
MODE IS SO SIMPLE 
that an ordinary house-servant, or child ten years of age, need 
make no error. 
A little wrench should be purchased for screwing down the 
cover tightly, thereby making a perfect job. 
N. B.—The 
“GENUINE SELF-SEALING CANS” 
have cast in letters, upon the top of the cap, 
“ SPRATT’S PATENT,” 
" Wells & Provost, Proprietors, New York.” 
E®*” All the cans are guaranteed to answer 
FULLY AND PERFECTLY 
the purpose for which they are recommended
