Flower Boxes ‘Bloom’ in Wintertime

By MARGUERITE SMITH WINTER mulching is not all done for the same purpose, so covering should not be applied. to all plaifts

. at the same time. Most winter fovering in our cli= mate is used to keep perfectly hardy plants from heaving back and forth in- the ground in our sudden rises and falls of temperatures Once otherwise hardy roots heave above the sofl surface, the plant is likely to be “winterkilled” by the succeeding frosts and thaws » Protection against this heaving of! roots should be put on only after the ground has frozen to about a two-inch depth, Its purpose: To keep the groun frozen until growing weather arrives in spring. Strawberries are a good example of plants that need this after-{reézing mulch Most of our perennial flowers need the same kind of winter protection. If vou are slow to get their don't let ft worry vou, Lucky for us dilatory gardeners, it's along toward spring when most damage occur

” ” n LATE covering also has the advantage that field mice have looked around for other quarlert before we get the straw on the perennial border When mulching perenntals, 1t's with evergreen

wise tn let those foliage-—coral bells sweet willlams, for example tick: their heads out with the covering around the roots only Tender plant uch as French

hvdrangeas tree roses hoysens= berries, need a different kind of winter protection, Here again, it geem not to be so much the coldness of our fneessant and sudden changes of injure their

winters as it is the

temperature that bud: If vou've observed cabbage heads Jeft standing in the garden after cold nights arrive, you've seen how they stand up very well to the first few hard frosts but after

perhaps 10 nights of freezing weather and sunny days, the plant tissues can't recover their original condition and the cab-

bage is “frozen” though the tem perature has not dropped below that of the first cold night. ~ . . WHILE boysenberries and French hydrangeas may go through a mild winter successfully, they're far more likely not to in our average winters, So | boysenberry canes should be lald down and covered with several inches of ‘straw. Hydrangeas are commonly wrapped with burlap or straw, Tree roses and fig trees aré laid over and protected with soil and straw, Even a light covering helps a plant for it slows up the sudden- | ness of the temperature change | and gives it a better ¢hance to | adapt itself. Plants of the same variety may differ considerably fn hardiness as in flowering ability.

. =» YOU DON'T have to let summer flower boxes look empty and forlorn all winter. Here's an idea used by Mrs. Sirdastion Meriawether, 435 Harvard Place. Last year when -the flowers in her front porch urn were frosted, she stuck branches of bittersweet in | the ground they had grown in Watered “just now and then” the bittersweet took winter's cold without losing its bright color It was still pretty when Mrs Meriwether prepared the urn fo summer, some time in_ April Norma Joset Turner, who often helps Mrs. Meriwether with her gardening, is shown in the at companying picture with this year's urn of bittersweet on the Meriwether porch. She is the daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Earl Turner, 3884 Rookwood Ave. Some gardeners like to use small or dwarf evergreens =for | winter flower boxes. One ‘clever gardener I know bought seedling evergreens In the fall, set them out Tor winter decoration in front of her windows, then in the spring set the tiny trees into pecmanent places in the yvard.-

Novice Falls Into 6 Diamonds

By WILLIAM E. McKENNEY America’s Card Authority MANY CLUBS, YMCA's and other community groups not only provide instruction in bridge rut also hold regular card parties and duplicate tournament Joseph Madison of San FPrancisco wrote me that he and his wife, who played auction for several years, recently started coatract with a series of lessons at the “Y." He was quite proud of the fact that Mrs, Madison made six diamonds on today's hand She made a fine two-diamorid bid with only a three-card suit to tell her partner that she had a pretty strong hand, especially in view of his free spade bid n » ~ THEY were using wood convention, so Mrs, Madison's bid of four no trump asked for aces and the five-heart response showed two However, I think that when she bid five no trump she really wanted to play it there. But as that also is a Blackwood bid, askIng for kings, her partner bid six diamonds to show one king.

Mrs, Madison decided to stay

there rather than risk the bid of |

seven clubs, which of course would have been a calamity She played low

Then the ace of diamonds picked up the king and the ace of clubs was led, dummy discarding the 10 of hearts, It was useless to try to ruff out the club suit because Mrs, Madi-
