Transcriber’s Note:

Apparent typographical errors have been corrected and hyphenation standardised, e.g., sunbonnet and Sunflower are written without hyphens throughout the book.

Unusual punctuation and original spelling have been retained, receipe (recipe?) left as printed. All other inconsistencies are as in the original.

The 1930 date on the title page might be a misprint for 1903, although there was a 1930 edition.
