MARKETING (Which keep well such)

which keep well, such as potatoes, squashes, turnips, and so forth, should be bought in the early fall to last until spring, provided there is a cool, dark place in which to keep them. Meats must necessarily be purchased as needed, unless one has a large refrigerator in which to hang them.

Fish, with the exception of salt or smoked kinds, should be bought only when absolutely fresh. Fruits such as apples and pears may be bought in large quantities, but perishable fruits in small amounts only.
