That is why you will find DEL MONTE model kitchens in the richest pine-
apple-growing sections of far-off Hawaii — in the fertile California delta lands of
the Sacramento river where grows the world's finest asparagus — in the finest
peach orchards of the San Joaquin valley — among the famous apricot and prune
orchards of the Santa Clara valley — in the raisin vineyards of Fresno — in Alaska,
from whose cold, northern waters the choicest salmon are caught — as well as in
all the other widely scattered locations where each particular variety develops
its finest flavor and form.
And it is the same with DEL MONTE pears, plums, berries, cherries, grapes,
beans, peas, tomatoes and all the other delicious varieties included in the DEL
MONTE line. All are grown where they attain their finest flavors. In each is
that delicious flavor preserved intact.
The DEL MONTE Label Your Guarantee of Quality
It is this strict adherence to an ideal established years ago, this painstaking
attention to every detail in the preparation of the long line of DEL MONTE
Products, that make the red DEL MONTE shield on the green can your absolute
guarantee of finest quality in canned fruits, vegetables and other food products.
That is why America's millions of discriminating women are careful to
specify DEL MONTE when they order canned foods from their grocers, and why
so many grocers take pains to recommend DEL MONTE to their customers
who want the best.

these recipes the generally recognized standard can of each
particular variety has been used.
In most fruits, the No. 2^/^ can is the customary size found
on the grocers' shelves; likewise, for such vegetables as toma-
toes, pumpkins, etc. Such varieties as string beans, peas, com,
etc., are ordinarily and commonly sold in what is known as the
No. 2 can. With proper judgment there should be no difficulty in preparing these
recipes regardless of the size of can used if instructions are followed as to the
measurements specified in the recipes.
A word or two on the size of containers, however, may be of assistance to
the housewife in purchasing canned products intelligently.
The most important containers in which DEL MONTE Canned Fruits are
packed are No. 2^, No. 2 and No. 1 Tall size cans.
