Notes from a Maryland Garden 
It seems that i shall soon lmve to de¬ 
vote my whole garden to tomatoes if the 
growers of special varieties keep putting 
their pets in my hands. The last one 
comes from the midst, of the coal rniues 
of West Virginia. The grower this time 
has what lie considers the finest tomato 
in cultivation, after experimenting for 50 
years. lie sends photographs showing 
tomato plants that look like trees. He 
intends to send me some of them, so that 
I can save the seed from the fruit. He 
claims that, he will have 40 lbs. of toma¬ 
toes from every plant, and as eireuin¬ 
stances compel him to quit gardening he 
wants to get the tomato in the hands of 
some one who will take care of it. 
The May-planted potatoes have been 
dug, and the crop is fully as good as that 
made in June from the February-planted. 
It is evident that we can make potatoes 
planted in May if (lie season is wet. On 
this we cannot figure in advance. The 
home-grown cantaloupes are on the mar¬ 
ket, and the shipping will soon be in full 
rush. No finer flavored melons are grown 
than are produced here. The Italians 
have for some time been showing little 
green ones from California, but no one 
ever buys a second one. 
The hot and moist weather has had a 
wonderful effect on the Cannas. King 
Humbert shows a solid mass of scarlet 
over the bed, and the numerous other 
varieties I have growing are making un¬ 
usually massive heads of flowers. The 
Gladioli, too, have made unusually long 
spikes. 
The oleander, which the Winter cold 
cut bnck. has made shoots nearly 20 in. 
long, but the blooming wood was killed, 
and it will have to get better protection 
next Winter. The season seems to have 
hastened the maturity of some things. 
The Nanticoke blackberry is ripening 1 • > 
days earlier than I have ever known it. 
The shearing of the privet hedges has 
been an unusual task this season, the 
growth has been so rapid. From Phila¬ 
delphia southward the dwarf privet 
Lucidum is far hotter timn the California. 
If has broad leaves and is as evergreen 
as a holly, and never grows more than 
5 ft. high if let take its full growth. It 
barely stands the Winter in sheltered 
places at Philadelphia. The peaches, 
which were all killed in April, are com¬ 
ing into the market rosy and sweet. Now 
it is claimed that the apple crop of the 
mountain section of Maryland and Vir¬ 
ginia is hut a 20 per cent crop. Prob¬ 
ably if this is true the growers will get 
more money out of the crop than if it 
had been large, and the quality will he 
better, or at. least the size of the fruit. 
We who have to buy our apples want to 
see an abundance of tho home-grown 
product. The past Winter the boxed 
apples of the Pacific coast were the only 
apples to he had, and they were sold by 
the apple and not by measure. And yet 
there were plenty of people who bought 
them simply because they were pretty 
apples. These apples are, as my daugh¬ 
ter said about the Red Bird peach, a 
great waste of beauty. 
We were wise enough last Fall to take 
advantage of the local abundance of the 
late Summer and Fall apples, and put 
up a good lot of apple sauce in jars, and 
feasted all Winter. Our market is again 
plentifully supplied with Summer apples, 
and we will turn the same trick before 
the grocers begin to put Tip prices, lint 
apple orchards are rapidly increasing 
here, and town people will soon be able 
to put in a barrel at a fair price. So 
far as our retail grocers are concerned, 
it matters nothing what the size of the 
Northern apple crop; the price seldom 
varies in Winter from around $1 a peck. 
The many thousands of apple trees 
planted here in the past few years ought 
to make a difference to the retail buyer. 
W. F. MASSEY. 
Two old settlors sat smoking in a cabin 
far away in the hack wood. No feminine 
preseuce ever graced that settlement, and 
domestic arrangements were primitive and 
rude. The conversation drifted from poli¬ 
tics to cooking, and one of the confirmed 
bachelors said : “I got one o’ them there 
Cookery hooks once, hut I never could do 
nothin" with it." "Too much fancy work 
about it?" asked the other. "You’ve ’it 
it. Every one o’ them recipes began in 
the same way. ‘Take a clean dish—,’ and 
that settled me at once.”—London Tit- 
Bits.
