From the Forward: “The Seattle Fruit and Flower Mission is an organization of women, all volunteer workers, which gives dietary aid to those who are ill or undernourished, irrespective of race or creed. Incorporated in 1907, it has steadily grown until the demand for special diet is in danger of exceeding the supply; therefore, this book has been published, hoping it will meet with favor and bring new friends to the Mission.”
