The crabapple is one of the most i'm

the housekeeper in September. 1t makes
delicious preserves, and is a most valu-

flavor of craparple jelly render it second
only to currant.S
For preserving the fruit the large, red
checked Siberian crahapple should b.
used, and fnay be obtained in market at
about 40 cents: peck. For jelly, Il
cheaper variety, .the little wild crabapple,
may be used with the best results and
may often sbe purchased at 20 cents a
