Directions concerning Garden Things<\/span><\/h1>\n
\nMOST people spoil garden things by over-boiling them.  All things that are green should have a little crispness, for if they are over-boiled, they neither have any sweetness or beauty.
\n
\nFrom The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy<\/i>, by Mrs. Glasse
\n<\/span>\n

To dress Beans, Carrots, Potatoes, Peas and Cauliflower<\/span><\/h1>\nPrepare new vegetables:  For beans, always throw some salt into the water, and some parsley, nicely picked. Carrots should be scraped very clean, when they are enough, rub them in a clean cloth, then slice them into a plate. If they are young spring carrots, half an hour will boil them; if large, an hour; but old Sandwich carrots will take two hours. For potatoes, you must boil them in as little water as you can, without burning the sauce pan. Cover the sauce pan close, and when the skin begins to crack they are enough. You may boil the carrots, beans and potatoes together in spring water and salt. Cook the peas and cauliflower separately. Season with a coffee cup each of butter, cream and water from the cooked vegetables, boiled quickly together with chives.
