MANY PAINTINGS NEED PRO
lection In WINTER

Operating on the theory that the
plants of every other section are bet
ter the those of his own, nearly
ground paintings some specimens
every gardner includes in his home
which need protection to bring them
through the winter unframed, says
w. R. Ballard, landscape specialist
for the University of Maryland Elk
tension Service.
In some cases selection of hilf-
hardy types is justified because of
The fact that they are quite distinct
from the hardy forms and are often
of great beauty, it is asserted.
Much of the winter injury to
plants of this character is due to al
ternate freezing and thawing.
Plants in regions where low temper
atures prevail throughout the winter
are often less injured than those in
more temperate climates because of
the protective blanket of snow. In
late winter many plants have COM
pleted the rest period and are ready
to burst into active growth with the,
irst prolonged warm spell. When
such weather is followed by freezing
temperature, as is often the case in
Maryland, plants stimulated to
growth are likely to be injured.
Cold, drying winds are also injurious
when the ground is frozen deeply so
hat the roots are unable to supply
he exposed twigs with moisture.
Suggestions for protecting winter
paintings against injury are given by
Mr.. Ballard as follows
Mulch beds of half hardy bulbs
with from four to six inches OF
leaves or cover with evergreen
boughs. Delay mulching until free
ling weather sets in to avoid invit
ing field mice which are fond of GER
tain of the bulbs.
Rhododendrons and similar broad
.eawed evergreens are best planted
IN north slope or where they will
BE shaded more or less from the win
Ter sun. Mulch heavily with leaves
which should be permitted to rot
1own and thereby maintain the acid
condition Of the soil so essential to
he well being OF this group.
Burlap fastened to stakes on the
windward side of conifers will af-
ford considerable protection. Figs,
rape myrtle and similar types might
lave corn stalks or straw tied loose
iy about them.
Monthly roses such as hybrid teas
ire best protected by mounding the
earth up around the bushes. Climb
,rs are sometimes laid down and
covered with earth.
Protective coverings should be re-
moved very cautiously in spring, and
gradually if possible. Sometimes
nulches left on too long cause the
plants to make very tender and
spindly growth rendering them more
susceptible to injury than il unpro-
tected.

Early Wine Making

The actual making of wine in an
cient times does not appear to have
differed very much In principle from
the methods obtaining at the present
day. Plastering appears to have been
known at an early date and when the
juice of the grape was too thin for
the production of good wine it was
occasionally boiled down with view
to concentration. The first wine re-
ceptacles were made of skins or hides
treated with oil or resin to make them
impervious. Later earthenware YES
sells were employed, but the wooden
cask. not TO mention the glass bottle.
was not generally known until much
later date.
