All perennials should be mulched, but not until the ground freezes. Plants naturally a little tender require a thicker coating than the more hardy ones, but all should be covered. Newly planted stock needs it most particu- larly. Leaves are the best covering. Next to these come meadow hay and straw. Light, strawy manure is also good. Decayed manure in itself answers well for any hardy and well established plants. GARDENERS' CONVENTION.
