If the leaves are placed in first and the
water poured over them boiling
hot, time will be saved.
Arriving at the sticky stage, the
leaves are to be taken out and wash by
shaking them in fresh water. Then
place them in shallow earthenwsre
pan. Steady them by pressing gently
on the stalk, al with the disengae ed
fingers or with brush remove the
d-cayed portion. The leaves that are
clear and perfectly free from cuticle
may be deprived of their moisture by
pressing in a towel until thoroughly

The spear is the largest of the six,
