Notes From a Maryland Garden 
The splendid Indian Summer is still 
with us. The frost, in late Oetoher black¬ 
ened the tender plants fully exposed, but 
on the south side of my office building the 
('annas this 7th day of November, are 
still green, and some of the roses still 
blooming, and, of course, the ’mums are 
in full coloi\ 
Speaking of roses, I wish to tell our 
readers what a fine thing there is in the 
Llybrid Tea class in the rose called Gen¬ 
eral MaeArtliur. It is a different shade 
of crimson from the “Jack,” having a 
cast of carmine. But it beats "Jack” a 
long way in making flowers, for it is one 
of the most persistent bloomers I have. 
It makes not only beautiful buds, but 
splendid open roses. I cut fine bloom 
from it November 3. about the last for the 
season. A large very double flesh-color 
Tea rose is still blooming: I am sorry 
that the name of this rose has been lost. 
It. is still making a number of buds aud 
flowers. Even my Crimson Rambler has 
some red clusters. This is rather differ¬ 
ent from (the first of the Crimson Ram¬ 
blers, ami is called the Flower of Fair- 
field, or Fverblooming Crimson Rambler. 
It does usually make a partial bloom in 
August, and the flowers are somewhat 
darker than those of the old Crimson 
Rambler. In the garden a patch of let¬ 
tuce, the Iceberg, is trying hard to head 
before freezing weather, but it looks 
rather doubtful. The large white French 
turnip, a sort of white rutabaga, is now in 
use, and good. I do not grow the Strap- 
leaf turnips, except a few of the Milan 
Away back, grandmother was kept busy from early morning until late at 
night trimming and cleaning oil lamps, rubbing for hours over a wash-tub, 
ironing and cooking in hot and cold weather over a red hot stove, laboring over 
the churning, skimming the milk with a ladle, carrying and pumping bucket 
after bucket of water. No wonder life of the farm meant nothing to her but 
a toilsome grind. 
On thousands of successful farms today many farm wives are uncomplainingly 
doing their work with no more facilities for lightening their labors than grand¬ 
mothers had. Yet, at the very least fifty per cent of the credit for the farm 
success is due her. Give her fifty per cent of the benefits.
