Shall Carrie Brooke attempt hard soap at this season?
It was thought well for her to try it; many receipts offered.
"H I hard soap" well recommended, also a receipt of the box
of " Con Lye" made without boiling. Shall Mary Bond
protect her roses at this late day? Yes with manure,
leaves & pine boughs. How to keep Lillies so that
mice & other enemies cannot destroy the roots? Many plans
suggested all of which had been tried without success by
the unfortunate interlocutor. MB Thomas has a Lilly
that has been growing & blooming for years in the identical
earth in which it was planted never having been moved
from the pot either in summer or winter. This method
is much less complicated, requiring less thought certainly
that the plans usually recommended, therefore why not
adopt it.
