Questions

1 Would it do to make a temporary hot
bed over a bed of Geraniums in the
fall and bank manure or sand
around it instead of potting and
caring for the plants in the house all
winter? No one had tried it, and
was not considered feasible

2 Has any one rooted rose cuttings in wa
ter? Several had succeeded with it
Anna Moore had put some in a bottle in
water and hung in her pit in the
fall and in the Spring they had
nice roots. The water was not changed
and did not evaporate so as to make
it necessary to add more

3 Advice wanted about planting an
asparagus bed? Make the bed rich and
plant 4 or 5 inches deep, ashes is high

-ed better to get plants 1 year old than 2 yrs.

best beds do not know the name of the
variety

5 Will a ”Weeping Willow” which was very
much broken in the winter make a good
top if cut back? Answered in the affirmative
