W h at to Plant in November
Written for this Magazine by
Adelaide Bachman
S we jog along the highway we see
here and there in favored gardens
clumps of gay chrysanthemums
and within the gardens that ts about all
there is of interest during these early No­
vember day«. Everything else in the way
of bloom is gone— vanished with the sum­
mer that now is of the past. What a pity
it is that we cannot plant when the fit of
enthusiasm is on. when the flower we de­
sire is before us in all Its beauty and we
feel that we could make endless sacrifices
of time and strength to have such plants
for our very own. With a good many
people planting a garden is like the ex­
perience the Arkansas Traveler encounter­
ed— when they have the inspiration they
haven’t the plants and when planting time
comes they haven’t the inspiration; and so
it goes, .it is such a long time to wait
until spring and then, after >pring has
come and the garden planted it is such an­
other long, long wait before anything
comes of it. But no, though they may
make the beholder quite green with envy
and the desire to plant becomes strong
within him, the Chrysanthemum is not one
of the things to be planted this month.
Unless, indeed, one makes cuttings, as
some people do roses, putting them under
glass jars for protection from the cold
and hanking the earth about the base. I
have successfully planted them thus in
eastern New’ York, hut doubt if it could
he done much further north or in the
Middle West, where the severe cold comes
60 much earlier than here.
During the early part of this month a
great many bulbs arc planted. It would
really be much better to plant them ear­
lier, for once they begin to deteriorate they
go rapidly. However, if for any reason
the bulbs were not planted in October it
may still be done in November and with
excellent results in almost every case. It
is too late for Crocuses and for Lilium
candidum (which latter should be planted
in August ) but for Narcissi, Tulips. Snow­
drops. Scillas, etc., and for most of the lil­
ies, if the ground is not frozen, it is not
too late. It' the bulbs have been ordered
but have not yet arrived and one is afraid
of a hard freeze a place may he prepared
by heaping fresh manure on it to keep the
ground from freezing. This must, of
course, be removed when the time to plant
has come, for bulbs will not endure any
contact with such heating material. In
planting them, to more nearly insure
against decay, set each bulb in a little
jacket of fine sand, and then, if possible,
cover the earth over them with a thick
blanket of leaves which may have been
gathered for the purpose. But there is one
sort of planting to be done noyv which
will cost nothing at all, except in time and
trouble— and what gardener counts such
cost?— to many, who have waste places to
brighten up and the means to do If.
though perhaps it has not been brought
to their attention. It is the planting of
berried shrubs and vines, to make green
and inviting bowers during the summer
and flashes of color iti the fall and winter,

to say nothing of attracting the birds.
To be sure, if the birds do conic and cat
your berries, the berries will not be there
to help out the picture; but as a rule,
they are not little pigs and do not eat
everything in sight. But even if they do
and the garden picture is lacking in its
brilliant tones, yet the birds will stay about
and lie the greatest attraction in them­
selves.
In going about in the country by the
roadsides frequently and in woodlands
nearby are to be seen these beautiful
plants growing wild, and if the seeds are
gathered and planted now’ there will be
that much more of beauty for another
year. The Bittersweet vine is first in the,
ranks and there is nothing anywhere that
can equal it. Nature has planted it with
a lavish hand and it grows wild and
abundant in many places. It makes a
beautiful picture with its brilliant fruits
against the gray stone walls that line the
roadsides hereabouts or clambering to the
very tip top of some tall and slender red-
cedar tree where the splendid color of the
berries shows most vividly against the
sombre green. The berries hang on pretty
well through the winter, too, which cer­
tainly adds to the satisfaction of having
them in the vicinity. Indeed, its very
name, Celastrus (botanieally it is Celas-
trus scandens) comes from a Greek word,
kelas, meaning the latter season, referring,
of course, to the fruit in the “ latter sea­
son."
The Wahoo. Burning Bush or StafT
Tree, as it is variously known, has fruits
of a similar nature, but even more beau­
tiful. It does not climb, however, but re­
mains in bush form. Its foliage is beau­
tiful in summer and the brilliant fruits
adorn any grounds in fall and winter. Its
botanical name is Euonymus atropurpu-
reus and if there is any member of the
Euonymus tribe which is not ornamental
I do not know it. The Black Alder or
Winter Berry, which some botanists class
as Ilex verticillatus and some a* Prinos
verticillatus, is another acquisition in the
way of berry-bearing plants for the winter
garden, but truth to tell, the berries do not
remain long where there are birds who
kno^- about them. The same may he said
of the various Barberries, but Berberis
Thunbergia, the Japanese Barberry, at
least has handsome enough foliage
through tl$e summer and fall to insure its
being planted. This last one. of course,
does not grow wild in this country, but
tire others mentioned, and many besides,
do grow wild and the seeds arc very easy
to get.
The Woodbine, or Virginia
Creeper, so universally found wild, has
fine berries, though of not so brilliant a
color as those before mentioned, but they
are a great attraction to bird-. Another
blue-berried vine is the cat. or green-brier.
Its foliage is very handsome in the sum­
mer but its thorns*prevent its being such
a desirable plant as the less protected
ones. But it makes, when well established,
a tangled and matted thicket where
ground and low-bush nesting birds love to
hide; so if one wishes to attract birds
one cannot do» better than to gather and
plant a few seeds of it.
A very attractive baby bonnet, made
of Persian lawn. Around the front were
two rows of embroidery, through which
was run half-inch ribbon. On the hack
edge of the embroidery was a frill of
lace, one inch wide. On front around
the face was a double frill of lace half­
inch wide; the crown was a wide inset
edged with the wide lace. A bow of
one-inch wide pink ribbon was on tofl
under the back frill and embroidery. It
was tied with white lawn strings and
was easily made.

To renew a mirror keep for this pur­
pose a piece of sponge, a cloth and silk
handkerchief, all entirely free from dirt,
as the least grit will scratch the fine
surface of the glass. First sponge it
with a little spirits of wine, or gin and
water, to clean off all spots; then dust
over it powdered blue tied in muslin,
rub it lightly and quickly off with the
cloth and finish by rubbing with the silk
handkerchief. Be careful not to rub the
edges of the frame.
