Blanching Celery With 
Drain Tile 
I have grown a crop of celery for sev¬ 
eral seasons. I am planning to use 4-in. 
drain tile with which to blanch it this 
year. Is there disadvantage to this meth¬ 
od. outside of the rather high first cost of 
the tile? w. c. A. 
The only disadvantage outside of cost 
in using drain tile to blanch celery is the 
labor involved. One can board up a 
thousand roots much more quickly than 
you can by using tile. The cost of 4-in. 
tile is 30c and as the price of a root of 
celery is about 5c it would take your 
crop for two years (as one tile could be 
used on three roots each season) to pay 
for the tile. I use *4-in. board, about 
3 to 4 ft. long and 1 ft. wide that I get 
from a factory where sash and doors 
are made. These thin board are nailed 
on sash to prevent breaking the glass in 
transit and are removed at the sash and 
door factory and can be purchased very 
cheaply. They are piled up at the end 
of the season and can be used for several 
years. wm. perkins. 
Oats for Strawberry Mulch 
A neighbor tells me that for mulching 
strawberries he sows oats between, the 
rows ill time for them to get a few inches 
high before killing frosts come. Is this 
method practical to any considerable ex¬ 
tent? Do you think it as good as dry 
straw? J. E. t. 
West Falls, N. Y. 
We do not. It never worked well 
with us. We got a fair growth of oats 
in the middles or open space between the 
rows, but no growth to speak of among 
the plants where the covering should be. 
We much prefer straw. We found this 
year that a crop of Japanese millet or 
Sudan grass will make a good Winter 
covering. We have seen the oats seeded 
in bush fruits with good results, but for 
strawberries this plan did not succeed 
with us. 
Treatment of Japanese Iris 
Seedlings 
I sowed seed of Japanese Iris last 
Spring. Should I leave the seedlings in 
the ground through the Winter, or store 
them? mrs. T. w. 
South Berne, N. Y. 
Leave these seedlings in the ground. 
Before severe weather sets in, cover them 
with four or five inches of dead leaves, 
and then put a sash or shutter over 
them, like a cold frame. Commercially 
these seedlings are started in cold 
frames, and left in the seed frame, with 
Winter protection until the second sea¬ 
son, when they are planted out. 
Keeping Bunch Grapes in 
Winter 
Is there any method for keeping 
bunch grapes during Fall and Winter? 
Averill Park, N. Y. F. l. k. 
Perhaps more depends upon the va¬ 
rieties stored than the method of storing 
when one attempts to keep grapes during 
Fall and Winter. For example, varieties 
like Cottage and R. W. Munson will keep 
only five weeks in common storage, Con¬ 
cord will keep eight weeks, Niagara holds 
up for 10 weeks, Delaware stays sound 
for 15 weeks, and Bacchus, Brighton and 
Canandaigua will keep for about 20 
weeks. The firmer, thicker-skinned va¬ 
rieties, which include a fair share of 
Rogers’ Hybrids, will keep over long pe¬ 
riods. Barry, Agawam, Bindley, Her¬ 
bert, Helen Keller, and Yergennes have 
been kept in common storage for from 27 
to 28 weeks, while Mills has been kept 
for 20 weeks, and Requa for 30 weeks. 
In other words, it will be observed that 
the varieties which carry a high propor¬ 
tion of European blood are the ones 
which are most readily kept. This is not 
difficult to understand when it is recalled 
how adherent in the cluster the common. 
California grapes are, and how late in 
the season they are found on the market. 
Of course there are some basic prin¬ 
ciples in storing any product which must 
also he observed in handling grapes. 
Grapes that are bagged are less apt to be 
infected wit-h disease and insect troubles, 
and therefore more apt to remain sound 
in storage. An even temperature and air 
not too dry are other factors. Granulated 
cork is used with great success as a ma¬ 
terial in which to pack, though redwood 
sawdust ha« more recently been employed. 
Common sawdust is apt to give the grapes 
peculiar flavors. 
Some amateur grape growers paraffin 
the entire cluster and hang it from the 
rafters in the garret, while others merely 
paraffin the stem end. In any event, with 
a little practice it is not found difficult 
to serve grapes on the Christmas table, 
or even in the celebration of Washing¬ 
ton’s birthday ! H. B. tukey.
