Abstract

This collection contains a book, printed material and several booklets on the subject of homemaking. Included are entertainment tips and recipes designed for rations, seafood, canned meat and party food. Also included in this collection are booklets on the subject of flower arranging published by Coca-Cola in the early 1940's. The majority of the books belonged to Emma Adkins. She purchased the cookbooks in the 1930s and 1940s and used them until her vision failed. The Chesapeake Cookbook belonged to Garland's aunt, Luvicia Frances Adkins Andrew and was purchased in Baltimore.
