I have also found the hay-cap a very useful cover for exposed positions in the flower beds; these are simple, light affairs made of wood pulp shaped like large, circular cockle shells, about three feet in diameter; half a dozen of them will go a great way toward protect- ing the garden. But we will suppose that there are only a few of us who are hampered by the disad- vantages of a northern climate. The others are fortunate in so far as they have less work to do to keep their gardens in flourishing condi- tion. The success and extent of my own garden I can truly say is not materially interfered with by its high latitude. The situation is in one of the southern valleys of the White Mountains, and the^ altitude is over 600 feet above tide- water; yet my dahlias grow splen-'4'|S didly whenever I start them in season, and all the annuals produce the largest and most perfect flowers ; indeed, I be- lieve the possibilities of brilliant and large blooms are as great in central New Hampshire, if the proper methods of cul- tivation are pursued, as they are in any part of New Jersey; but there is more work to do in New Hampshire, and a sharp eye must be kept on Jack Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mathews, F.
