You may read the catalogs, but don't forget all those seeds in the ham boiler.

The ham boiler should boil ham.

I figure the old ham boiler is just as good as an 18th-century lead trough I saw planted with petunias, scented geraniums, purple sage and marguerites.

The site at 40 Broadway is first known to have been used by the John A. Goewey Company, which built a five-story brick building to make holloware, in particular ham boilers and tea kettles.

My frenetic seed-ordering self seems to have flown off, leaving me to wade through my flood of catalogs with a dry voice in my ear: "You have plenty of seed packets stuffed in the old ham boiler, so cool it."
