Garden Notes From New England 
Table Queen Squash. — I have been 
surprised n( the interest shown by readers 
of The It. N.-Y. in the Table Queen 
squash mentioned some time ago. It 
seems that many people, particularly 
amateurs, have been seeking a squash of 
small size which was also u good keeper. 
Table Queen seems to till the bill in these 
respects. Each squash is just: about the 
right size to make a good serving for the 
average family’s side dish, or to make a 
fair-sized pie. The squashes which I 
put into the cellar in the Full are in per¬ 
fect condition, which indicates that there 
is nothing the matter with their keeping 
quality. The. picture on page 1(11 will 
indicate the general appearance of this 
lit lb- squash, although many specimens 
are more nearly pear-slipped. The skin 
i< green and furrowed. 
Wrong Potting Methods.— In one of 
my recent notes I also mentioned a com¬ 
mon mistake of housekeepers who grow 
house plapts in planting them too shal¬ 
low. 1 have been reminded that other 
plant lovers ofteu make the contrary mis¬ 
take of setting their plants too deep iu 
the pots. One mistake is, of course, ns 
had as the other. This mistake is most 
likely to he made When plants are taken 
up from the garden in the Fall, although 
it may often happen when plants are re¬ 
potted; The roots should be well covered, 
of course, but that is all. I have been 
surprised to find that, oven commercial 
florists Imve been selling plants this year 
with pot J filled with earth to the very 
toi». making it impossible to apply water 
Grown in our upland nurseries (one of the largest in New York State), fresh

Plant Potted Too Deep 
without imving it run over. There ought 
to be at least a half inch of space all 
around, so that the water will remain 
until it percolates through the soil. If 
y. happen to have a pot too full of 
earth, you can water it fairly well, how¬ 
ever. by setting it. in a pan of water and 
letting the moisture rise from the hot- 
lom. Don't get in too much water, 
though. You can tell when it reaches 
the top, because the earth will then 
change color. A pot which has plenty of 
moisture will emit a heavy sound when 
tapped with the knuckles, while if water 
is needed the pot will sound hollow. 
Good House Plants, —Housekeepers 
fortunate enough to have, a good Azalea 
should do their best to keep it growing 
from year to year, as these plants are 
now dillieult to obtain. Remember that 
they start to make their buds for next 
year soon after they have finished flow¬ 
ering. For that reason they should be 
given plenty of water and kept growing 
along for two or three months. The mis¬ 
take is often made of keeping Azaleas iu 
a very warm room. They do much better 
and keep their flowers longer if they have 
a somewhat, cool temperature. 
The two flowering plants which have 
taken the place of the Azalea to a large 
extent in popular favor are Cyclamens 
and small-flowered Begonia.**. Both are 
very handsome, and make good house 
plants. Probably the Begonias will 
flower for a longer time, but the Cycla¬ 
mens are even more beautiful, much re¬ 
sembling orchids. The general advice is 
given by florists to throw them away 
after they have finished flowering, but 
there is no reason why you shouldn’t 
carry them through until next year. 
While the flowers will not be so large as 
the first season, they will still make a 
line show. 
Sugar from Dahlia Roots.—B. Ham¬ 
mond Tracy, a well-known Gladiolus and 
Dahlia grower in .Massachusetts, recently 
shipped o(K) lbs. of Dahlia roots to Wash¬ 
ington. They were purchased by iho 
Government for experimental purposes, 
It has been found that a very good sugar 
Can be obtained from Dahlias, and tlie 
Government officials are investigating the 
commercial possibilities presented by this 
discovery. Five different varieties were 
sent to Washington by Mr. Trnry, all of 
lliem being blind bulbs which otherwise 
would have been thrown away. If has 
been found Hint the amount of sugar 
varies in different varieties, some kinds 
having very little. e. 1 . fauki\< to \
