Coral Garden

6 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • a few pieces of coke or coal
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 1 Tbsp. ammonia
  • 1/4 c. salt
  • few drops Mercurochrome
  • 2 Tbsp. blueing

Directions

  1. 1
    Be careful in your selection.
  2. 2
    Do not choose too young, and take only such as have been reared in a good moral atmosphere. Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, while others keep them in hot water.
  3. 3
    This only makes them sour, hard and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience, well-sweetened with smiles, and flavored with kisses to taste.
  4. 4
    Wrap them in a mantle of charity. Keep warm with a steady fire of devotion, and serve with peaches and cream.
  5. 5
    When thus prepared, they will keep for years.
