GRAPEs-H. R. T.. City. Have heard it
stated that the Chinese have method Of pre-
serving grapes that they remain fresh from

method?
The method, it is said, consists of
cutting a circular piece out of a ripe
pumpkin or gourd, making an aperture
large enough to admit the hand. The
interior is then completely cleaned out,
the ripe grapes are then placed inside,
the cover replaced and pressed firmly
in The pumpkins are then kept cool.
The grapes will retain their freshness
for long time. A careful selection of
the pumpkins must be made, the COM
mon field pumpkin, however, being
adapted for the purpose"
