WILD GARDENS

mulch during the winter to keep out the cold, 

 and a root mulch during the summer to keep 

 out the heat from the roots — is their require- 

 ment, with never a bit of lime nor of commercial 

 fertilizer used around them. To superinduce the 

 acid soil which they revel in, the waste from a 

 cider press is sometimes resorted to, and with a 

 high degree of success apparently. This cannot 

 be used on the surface of the ground of course, 

 but may be turned in as manure is, and well 

 covered; and the plants set out afterward.
