Canning Vegetables 
Plan on canning vegetables this year. Crow them in your own garden and be sure they are fresh and 
when you have properly canned them you will be provided with healthy, nutritious food all winter long. 
Then, too, consider the expense of purchasing canned goods. Spend a few pleasant hours working your 
garden and a few minutes in the kitchen and at a little cost your shelves are stocked for the winter. 
Every one knows the value of vegetables in the daily menu and how else can you provide for year-around 
table delight at such a little cost? Plan to can some vegetables this year.
