Home Canning: Vegetables, Preparation
Instruction chart numbered 14 in a home-canning series, headed 'Home Canning Vegetables Preparation': hands cutting green beans, pouring hot water from a kettle over beans in a pot, and lifting a scalded jar with a fork. The technique is faint: bare hands and household pots present the work as ordinary kitchen routine (plain-folks).
