Canning Vegetables. 
Would you give me a good recipe for can¬ 
ning peas? mrs. i. p. 
New York. 
To can peas, fill the jars full of the 
peas, uncooked; then fill with cold water, 
and lay on the tops. Place straw or 
boards in the bottom of the wash boiler, 
stand the jars on this, and pour enough 
cold water in the boiler to come half way 
up the jars. Put the boiler on the stove 
with the lid tightly closed and boil three 
hours. When the jars are taken out see 
that they are full to overflowing and 
screw the lid on tight. Another method 
of preparing peas is to cook five minutes 
in very little water, then fill the cans and 
place them in the boiler to cook for one 
hour. A teaspoonful of salt is added the 
last thing before sealing. String beans 
are cut in lengths, cooked with little water 
for 10 minutes, then put in the cans and 
boiled for two hours. In each case be 
sure the can is full to overflowing before 
sealing, if not fill it up with boiling water. 
For canned corn cut the kernels off 
the cob with a sharp knife, scraping out 
the pulp. Fill into the can a little at a 
time, pressing it down firmly until the 
milk overflows the can. Add a teaspoon¬ 
ful of salt. When all are filled place the 
cans in a boiler and cook half an hour 
with the covers laid loosely on. Remove 
from the fire and seal, then cook two 
hours longer. The preliminary cooking 
permits the corn to swell without endan¬ 
gering the cans, which may burst if tight¬ 
ly sealed from the first. Succotash is 
canned by first half-filling the cans with 
green Lima beans, then filling the remain¬ 
der of the can with corn, pressed down 
firmly. Add a teaspoonful of salt to each 
can, and cook like corn. 
The Bookshelf. 
The Book of Vegetables and Garden 
Herbs, by Allen French. T(m very use¬ 
ful book contains a preface, which gives 
general cultural instructions, a “planting 
table” of 299 pages, a table of seed lon¬ 
gevity and ounce values, and a copious in¬ 
dex. The planting table, arranged in al¬ 
phabetical order, gives in condensed form 
the character, habits and culture of the 
various plants; it is practically a diction¬ 
ary of edible and medicinal plants of tem¬ 
perate latitudes. Each vegetable being 
thus discussed by itself, it is possible to 
look up needed information without delay. 
Many little-known plants are included, 
and the book will be especially interesting 
to those who wish to extend the vegetable 
garden into unfamiliar lines. While it 
does not attempt to cover the commercial 
side of vegetable growing, it includes much 
that is omitted from other books of its 
character. Published by the Macmillan 
Company, New York; 312 pages, attrac¬ 
tively bound; illustrated; price $1.75 net; 
postage 13 cents additional.
