Questions
1 Is it wise to cut back roses grape
vines and berries now? Do not trim
much in this climate, try grafting wax
over cut ends, and trim grapes in
fall, also berries

2 Has any one tried putting earth about
roses? Some have done so with success.

3 Does the Hart like the everbearing strawberry?
Mary Stabler has them but does
not think a great deal of them as a
crop.

4 When a garden has grown up in
hogweed. What shall be done? Try to
keep mowed and burn the weeds
in the fall.

5 How keep winter apples? Let them
lay under the trees till just before they
would freeze and then put them in
barrels, and bury in earth.
Apple crop this year an average one.
