Notes from a Maryland Garden 
Our first killing frost came the morning 
of November 6, four days earlier than 
last year, and earlier than the average 
for several years. Now one thinks of se¬ 
curing vegetables and plants in general. 
I let the parsnips, salsify and carrots re¬ 
main where they grew. A good mulch of 
manure is put between the rows to pre¬ 
vent the soil from freezing too hard, but 
our soil is open in Winter more than it is 
frozen. Cabbages will be set in deep fur¬ 
rows and the earth packed to them, leav¬ 
ing only the top exposed, and then we 
scatter green pine boughs over. Gannas 
and Dahlias we bury and cover well, and 
then mound the soil over them. 
One big oleander bush has been tied 
up closely and the Ganna tops tied 
around it. This plant was killed to the 
ground in the hard Winter of 1917-18, 
but has grown a large new top since. I 
sowed Southern curled mustard broadcast 
where the spinach failed. It may not 
grow till Spring, but it will come in 
earlier than any other greens. Setting 
out cabbage plants and lettuce involves a 
great deal of carrying water, for with 
the exception of one fairly good rain we 
have had none since the third of August. 
The earth is desperately dry. Even the 
frames are not yet all planted. The 
Summer-blooming shrubbery has been a 
bad failure this Summer. Spiraea An¬ 
thony Waterer made some early bloom, 
but failed to give its usual Summer flow¬ 
ers. Buddleia variabilis tried hard to 
bloom, but the racemes dried up as fast as 
produced. Cannas made about one-twen¬ 
tieth of their usual bloom, and a very 
poor growth. 
Owing to the frost last Spring and the 
rose chafers later, the grapes were very 
few. The orchards here made a few 
apples; no peaches or plums, and not a 
Ivieffer pear. It has become a practice 
to plant Ivieffer pear trees along the 
roadsides. There they use little space, 
and what fruit is produced sells to the 
eanner and the city buyers, and 1 no auto 
thief will steal a green Ivieffer. In Dela¬ 
ware they send Ivieffers by the carload to 
the mining sections of the West, and con¬ 
sider them worth growing on the fence 
lines. The Eastern Shore of Maryland 
and Delaware is rapidly getting into 
apple growing, while still growing some 
peaches, too. The popular apple here for 
Winter is the Stayman Winesap. On 
this peninsula it attains a size and quality 
not seen in the Stayman growth north or 
west. It is brittle and juicy and of high 
flavor. The author of the “Apples of 
New York” turns it down for New York 
planting. Here it is the most popular of 
apples. But apples this Winter are only 
for the people who have plenty of coupons 
to cut. Pretty Oregon apples are retail¬ 
ing at 7c each. Second-class Staymans 
are $1.20 a peck and the first sized ones 
are only sold by the piece. Six for a 
quarter is about as low as one can get a 
small-sized apple now. 
A Tennessee correspondent sends me a 
branch of Elseagnus loaded with berries. 
It is a species I do not at present recall, 
but it makes fruit that is better than 
Elaegnus longipes, which has a little of 
persimmon-like roughness. The writer 
wished to know what they are good for, 
as he has a bush eight feet high loaded 
with the fruit. I told him to eat them 
raw if he liked, but that they will make 
as fine a jelly as currants. These Elaeag- 
nus bushes- are not planted as much as 
they should be for, in a season like this 
one these late fruiting plants are very use-

Locust Hedge 
Will you advise me about planting a 
locust hedge? Would one be very attrac- 
How would I make cuttings from 
it.’’ Would it make a thick enough hedge 
to keep hens out? y n 
Russell, N. Y. ‘ ' 
. The honey locust makes a hedge which 
is sure to turn animal or man when pro- 
erly treated. As with most trees or large 
growing shrubs, severe pruning is re¬ 
quired to give them strong growth of nu¬ 
merous branches at the base, and then 
each succeeding year, if it be cut back 
from 4 to 6 in. longer than the last year, 
it soon forms a dense mass of strong 
shoots near the ground. The numerous 
branching spines along the trunk and 
main branches make it the best guard 
plant that can be used. The locust 
spreads by underground shoots just be¬ 
low the surface of the soil. These send 
up numerous suckers, which can be re¬ 
moved easily with a spade and transplant¬ 
ed. The foliage effect of this hedge is very 
beautiful. t. h. t.
