A Dry Well Is a Practical Idea

By MARGUERITE SMITH A GARDEN activity thatis “really fun on cold winter days but not at all enjoyable when it's the least bit warm,” is the building.of a stone wall. So says Mrs. Edward Stocker, 2002 E. 38th St. &8he ought to know for she has placed what Mr. Stocker estimates as “about 30 tons of rocks” in a dry wall around the edge .of their lot. “It's a purely original idea,” Mrs. Stocker laughed. “I've never seen anything like it—it just grew from a line of stones we laid originally to make our lot line when fill dirt was piled on the field behind our garden.” “Then we had-.the problem of keeping the poor gravelly fill-in soil from washing down onto the good rich soil we'd had hauled onto our own low-lying garden. So we gathered more cobbles trom the field and I kept raising the wall from time to time. “It's an easy way to get rid of stones,” Mrs. Stocker ‘thinks, and at tlie same time adds to the garden picture. Part of the effect is utilitarian, too, for the Stockers have found raspberry bushes do well in the soil behind and on top of the wall.

faced rocks with the rounding side down. It's important that the flat side be up to make a firm foundation for the next rock. Long oval rocks fit in firmer if laid crosswise of the wall. You don’t need to bother figuring out a pattern for if you mix large and small stones as you work they'll form a natural pattern, Susie Fineberg, who appears in the accompanying picture « with

much conflicting advice and it | hasn't worked, she says. One year |

mentions, I'd say there are two types of Jhese colored flowering hydrangea$ growing in local gardens. They are both tender, and both need protection in our climate. But one kind can be cut back to within a few inches of the ground in the fall and will bloom on the wood that grows out from these old stubs (not from the roots) next season. The other kind must have all

its late summer formed buds pro-

tected for next year’s flowers. Safe protection then (unless you want to experiment as Mrs. Jacks is doing this year by cutting back part of hers, protecting the en-

the stalks together. Then wrap |

them in straw or burlap. A tall vegetable basket set over the

plants helps to hold this winter overcoat in place and give added |

| protection. Then you can mulch

the soil around the roots with leaves.
