Evergreen branches protect plants in winter and hold fallen leaves. Young roses should be kept cool in cellar until frost passes, then moved outside for rapid spring growth. Cut back old roses after ground freezes and protect with straw. Fall planting is best for many trees, but plant evergreens in spring or late summer. Shrubbery should be well arranged with no gaps and modest in lawn use. Begin spring work as early as frost allows. Gooseberry and currant propagation from root branches and suckers yields new bushes. Plum problems include black knot and eureneio. prune and burn early to prevent spread, and destroy pests by jarring and burning. A road cart insect catcher aids pest control in fields.
