3. How keep parsley for winter? A cold
frame suggested. Some mild winters
it lives out without protection.

4. a member lost nearly all her rose bushes
in the severe weather. A heavy mulch
of manure saved one. Try a fodder
protection from cold winds and put
coal ashes about them several inches deep

5. an azalea repotted two years ago is
sending out a great growth; what
treatment should it have? Mrs. Jones repots
hers in the spring and in winter
keeps it in a South window in her third
story without fire.

6. What is a good situation for keeping
cabbage and roots? Some plant it head
down in a furrow and cover with straw
The old-fashioned way is to put close
together, roots down - and cover with rails
and fodder about two feet above for protection
and ventilation. A pit or cellar
is not good. Turnips require a light
covering of earth, carrots more, Parsnips
and salsify are best left out and
dug as wanted. A few in the cellar
covered with sand is a convenience
in case of a long continued freeze.
