WINTERING BAY TREES. 



I wish you Avould let me know about 

 keeping bay trees through the winter. 

 Do they need sun and heat; if so, how 

 much? I have a large cellar that is kept 

 at about 4Q degrees all the time but is 

 rather dark. Would this be a good 

 place? How much water would they re- 



quire; 



T. W. 



Your cellar, which is "rather dark," 

 which possibly ifieans that it is not en- 

 tirely dark, is 'an ideal place to store the- 

 sweet bays for the winter. •"'We have 

 'learned through experience and observa- 

 tion some facta on this subject within a 

 few yeai-s which are worth recording. 

 The writer was born in and ran about a 

 garden in the south of England, where 

 the Hweet bay was one of the common- 

 est as well as the finest of evergreens, 

 and any winter that there was not more 

 than 1.5 or 16 degrees of frost the bays 

 came through unharmed. But one win- 

 ter, that of 1860 and 1861, we had al- 

 most or quite zero weather and thou- 

 sands of grand trees twenty-five or thirty 

 feet high were killed to the ground. We 

 have left bays in tubs outdoors in Buf- 

 falo late, where they often have had 15 

 degrees of frost without any injury, 

 but their roots were wet and frost had 

 gradually hardened them. We also have 

 seen bay trees perish in a warm cellar

because exposed to an open window in 

 frosty weather when their roots were dust 

 dry. Light is not necessary in winter, 

 because there is no active growth. Keep 

 the soil in the tubs moist, particularly 

 so if there is any artificial heat warm- 

 ing the cellar. A temperature of 35 de- 

 grees to 40 degrees is ideal, and, again, 

 keep the roots moist. W. S. 



STATE OF GENERAL TRADE. 



Reports from all departments of the 

 general wholesale and jobbing trade con- 

 tinued to be of an optimistic nature the 

 last week. A healthy increase in the 

 volume of trade was noted in nearly every 

 quarter. That the movement of general 

 niorchandise has reached greater propor- 



tions than ever before is witnessed by 

 the constantly increasing railway earn- 

 ings, which are without precedent. 



Buying orders for staple goods showed 

 no indications of any curtailment of the 

 demand, notwithstanding the heavy con- 

 tracts made early in the fall. Dealers 

 in footwear, furnishings, textile goods, 

 furniture and hardware all reported a 

 heavy trade. 



The coal market was characterized by 

 a healthy demand for every kind of coal. 

 The trade is hampered to a large extent 

 by the car shortage, which is growing 

 more acute every day, and there does not 

 seem to be any hope of relief until the 

 close of navigation. The car situation 

 at the present time is a factor in main- 

 taining prices for all grades of coal.
