Ing up process, but they must not be
Immersed In water or handled IN any
way. In cutting grapes to be kept
fresh. an inch or two of stalk is left
on each side OF the twig that bears
them. and 10 each end of this stalk
Is pitted a bulb OF rubber or glass
containing sterilized water. The
whole is then hung up whore the
grapes will swing free and the water
IN bulbs Is sucked up by the stalks.
The water can be renewed as often
