When mulches are applied to the

". is often taken for granted that they u; w keep plants warm, protect- pig thorn against freezing.

But experienced _, ers use niulches to keep _plants cold, be- cause winter injury to hardy plants

A mulch which is applied to the ground after it has been frozen will prevent seasonable thaws, and thus serve to reduce ‘ ' ' ,,. dampness and standing water. B the nature of the mulch should va

Foxgloves and canterbury bells are examples. Any firennial which on examination after freez- ing weather is seen to have top growth still alive belongs in this class. It is important that such plants nbaii not be smothered by a mulch which shuts out air, since this will usually result in rotting and death. In such cases a mulch of corn stalks, evergreen boughs, pruned stems of shrubs, so even

For plants whose tops disappear entirely in winter, a mulch at leaves, straw or manure is satis- factory. But when such plants are well bllshed they do not need a mulch. If newly planted in well- spaded soil, heaving action will be exaggerated and there will be a lack of roots to anchor the plants so that a mulch the first season is advisable. The need is greater, the later planting has been done. This same rule applies to fall bulbs, which need protection only when planted somewhat late in newly spaded soil. A rule which should

should never be applied to the ground until it has frozen.
