FREEZING

Fruits, vegetables, etc., and nearly all liquids are very liable to damage by frost, and care should be exercised when ordering them in cold weather, as such goods are generally sent at the risk of the purchaser. In winter, the cellar is the best place for all goods in bottles, tin or wood, which are liable to freeze--a bottle of bluing or ink that freezes and cracks may ruin a whole shelfful of goods.
