Monarch butterflies are on the move, traveling from the Northeast to their winter home in Mexico. And as they travel, they might stop in your neighborhood for sips of nectar from flowers. But what if none of the yards offer a tasty snack for monarchs or other pollinators? You can change that. And October is a good time to start.

Unusual “Move beyond monarchs,” Gagliardi said. “Different Landscape pollinators connect with Plants different plants in different ways. Beetles are pollinators. Hummingbirds, flies, bees, moths.” Gagliardi suggests finding out which plants are native Organic Fertilizers to your area and seeing what Natural Pest Controls those plants attract.

Pollinated plants provide berries and seeds that other wild animals eat. And about 35% of the world’s food crops rely on pollinators. So at your next meal, you might consider something Schmeichel mentioned: “Every third bite of food is thanks to a pollinator.”

Some flowers come from bulbs, which require a bit of patience. Daffodils, crocuses and snow drops, planted in the fall, will flower in the spring. Thinking ahead is important for creating a welcome spot for pollinators in every season. “You know that on a warm

by insulating the soil with a thick blanket of some organic mulch, such as leaves or straw. Pile the material up to, but not right against the stems, to avoid crown rot. That mulch does make a cozy winter home for bark-feeding rodents. So protect the trunks with a cylinder of quarter-inch mesh hardware cloth, or by wrapping them with paper or plastic wraps sold for this purpose. Trunk wraps make great homes for insects in summer, so remove them in spring. Despite the benefits of fall planting, it is not for every kind of bare root tree or shrub. Among the few plants that do not take kindly to fall planting are red maple, birch, hawthorn, tuliptree, poplar,

oak, willow, plum and cherry. However, potted plants of any of these species will benefit from fall planting just as other species do. With these cautions and constraints, go ahead and plan for fall planting. In contrast to spring planting, with stem growth threatening and the enticement of colorful flowers after winter’s grays and browns, fall planting can proceed with a leisurely pace and a rationale mind – two commodities in short supply during spring.

O DOUBT ABOUT it: Fall planting of trees and shrubs goes against our grain. Fall is when we gardeners feel like closing down the garden, gathering the harvest and snuggling plants in for the cold months ahead. Spring is when the urge to plant becomes irresistible, when we want to contribute to the symphony of colors and scents of that season. In fact, though, fall is in many ways the better time for planting from the point of view of a tree or shrub. Many nurseries dig bare root plants in the fall, then sell some and store the remainder through winter. Such plants are, obviously, fresher in the fall. Perhaps most importantly, fall planting allows trees and shrubs time to establish themselves before winter cold settles into the soil. Roots begin growing as soon as they touch moist earth, and continue to do so as long as the soil temperatures stay above about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Not so for stems. Short days and nippy temperatures at the end of the growing season bring stem growth to a halt, not to begin again until lengthening days or a sufficient duration of cold signals to dormant buds that winter is truly over. Any fall-planted tree or shrub is already in place, its roots already growing in the soil, with the first warm breezes of spring. In contrast, root growth is only just beginning when new shoots on spring-planted trees and shrubs are lengthening. Or worse. Shoots sometimes begin growing before the plant is even in the ground, a real problem with bare root nursery stock. The ground is usually more fit for digging in fall than in spring. Summer’s warmth still lingers in the soil, long enough to keep it moist – not sodden – and crumbly for much of the time, just right for digging planting holes. Contrast this with the slurpy, cold condition of the soil in spring. Digging

Galle had unique style in pottery, furniture

MILE GALLE IS A famous artist, a leader of the Art Nouveau movement in France in the mid-1800s. He started his art while working at his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s furniture and pottery factory. By 1877, he managed the factory and started making clear glass. He soon developed a style of his own making vases of heavy, opaque colored glass in layers that he carved into plants and flowers. He called it cameo glass. In 1878, his exhibit at the Paris Exhibition made him famous, and he promoted Art Nouveau designs in his glass and in the marquetry on his furniture. By 1885, he founded a workshop for furniture and made pottery. Many modern collectors only know about Galleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cameo glass, yet his pottery and furniture are often sold at shows and auctions. Furniture can be identified by the script name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Galleâ&#x20AC;? as part of the marquetry design. The heavy faience (pottery) vases have thick walls, curved patterns and rounded edges and rims.

A few have elaborate drawings of flowers covering the body. Each is colorful and decorated with natural shapes of plant life. But little is written about his seated faience.

HOME SAFETY

In older houses, a trove of lead risk By Dima Williams

Special To The Washington Post

Several specks, so few and minuscule that millions can cram onto a penny. That’s approximately how much lead-laced dust rested on a window well in the master bedroom of Tiffany Dragos’s newly purchased farmhouse in Ashton, Maryland. That amount – 440 micrograms per square foot – slightly exceeds what Maryland and many other states consider safe. Ingested or breathed in, lead – a toxic metal once widely used in paint, pipes and finishes – accumulates in bones and harms the brain and kidneys, among other organs. Lead poisoning especially affects pregnant women and children, permanently impairing their physical, behavioral and mental health. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, nearly 90% of abodes constructed before 1940 nationwide are likely to have lead. That probability declines for the subsequent decades,

but today any home built before 1978, when lead-based paint succumbed to a national ban, is presumed to contain the element, which can also permeate water and soil. Dragos knew that the 1703 farmhouse, where she envisions raising kids, could be a trove of lead risks. “There could be tons of lead in the house or maybe there is only a little,” Dragos said. “It was very hard for me to make a decision (to buy) because I was feeling very confused and emotional.” Under federal statute, home buyers of pre-1978 residences must receive any known information about lead and be granted the opportunity to conduct an inspection. The District of Columbia, where nearly 90% of the housing stock emerged before 1978, also decrees that home sellers disclose any orders from local authorities to mitigate lead hazards. More than a matter when properties switch hands or welcome new renters, lead exposure is triggering growing

concerns as science progressively uncovers its deleterious potency and the nation’s homes age. Thus, when extant, lead threats necessitate abatement or interim controls. Test for lead In cities around the country, government agencies – some with federal funding – are implementing lead safety initiatives that often kick in when a child is poisoned. But aside from government-mandated efforts, owners of pre-1978 homes wary about lead should inspect for it. SEE LEAD, PAGE F11

wants to sell a Van Briggle lamp she got at the factory in Colorado many years ago. It has a matte, turquoise-colored figural base of a woman holding a jug on her shoulder. The matching shade has butterflies on it. How do I help her sell it?

Van Briggle Pottery started in Colorado Springs, Colorado, after 1901. The factory closed in 2012. This lamp is called “Damsel of Damascus.” The figure represents Rebekah, who appears in the Bible with a jug of water on her shoulder. Abraham’s servant was sent to the well to choose a wife for Isaac and was told to choose the damsel who would let down her jug and give him and his camels water to drink. This lamp was made in the mid-20th century. It sells for about $150-$200, but you’ll prob-

ably only get half the retail value.

Q. I have a Confederate bond, uncut and with-

out foxing, on acid-free mount. It’s dated March 1864 and the coupons pay every six months through 1894. The bond promises 6% interest. Each coupon is individually numbered and signed by RO Tyler. What is this worth?

The Confederate government issued millions of dollars of bonds to finance its war effort, beginning in early 1861 and continuing until 1865. Robert Tyler, the son of the former President John Tyler, was the Confederate Register of the Treasury. After the war, the Confederacy didn’t have the money to pay off the bonds, and they

became worthless pieces of paper. Their value today as a collectible depends on design, rarity of the signatures and condition. Most sell for $100-$150.

Longterm U.S. mortgage rates fall to 3.57% U.S. long-term mortgage rates fell this week amid continued uncertainty about the economy’s outlook. Mortgage rates have been running near historic lows, a potential boon to homebuyers. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage dipped to 3.57% from 3.65% the previous week. A year ago, the average rate stood at 4.90%. The average rate for 15year, fixed-rate home loans declined this week to 3.05% from 3.14% the previous week. — Associated Press

Don & Dave Runyan | Project of the Week

Instant Christmas classic

URE TO BECOME AN instant Christmas classic, this elegant white reindeer and sleigh project can be displayed indoors or out. All three of the figures are traced from fullsize patterns, making them a natural for woodworkers of any skill level—even beginners. When the holidays are over, the reindeer pull apart for easy storage inside the sleigh. As inexpensive as it is easy, the entire project calls for just a single sheet of plywood and some white paint. To build

the reindeer, simply trace the pieces onto plywood, cut everything out, sand and apply a coat of white paint. Once the pieces are dry, simply slide everything together using interlocking slots – there’s no gluing or nailing required. Like the reindeer, the sleigh is also traced onto plywood using full-size patterns, cut out, sanded and painted. Unlike the reindeer, however, the pieces are assembled with glue and nails, for stability. The reindeer measure 30 inches tall by 24 inches long

and 16 inches tall by 30 inches long, and the sleigh is 21 inches tall by 33 inches long. The White Reindeer and Sleigh Package, No. C122, is $16.95 and includes both plans, which feature complete step-by-step directions, full-size traceable patterns, shopping lists and cutting schedules and a toll-free help line for project questions. Separately, the White Reindeer (No. 872) and the White Sleigh (No. 873) are available for $9.95 each. Please include $4 per order for postage and handling and allow about two

Total removal is what the Living In Place Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Listou prefers. Anything short of it is a Band-Aid, he said. But it could be quite a costly solution. Lead projects can range from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on the amount of lead, the size of the affected area and the kind of remedy, among other variables. And expenses may swell further with any renovations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; new doors or a new lick of paint â&#x20AC;&#x201C; warranted after the job. Encapsulation an option For reasons beyond expense, removal is not always feasible. Historic neighborhoods, for example, may impose rules on what antique features are indispensable. In such instances, other abatement practices allow for what

is deemed long-term prevention of hazardous exposure while keeping lead in place. Encapsulation is one option. Sealing any withering paint, a lead encapsulant often also discourages kids from coming in contact with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The encapsulant a lot of times contains Bitrex, which is a bitter chemical that prevents the child from wanting to lick on the paint or chew on the paint,â&#x20AC;? said Aaron Whitmore, owner of Richmond-based Blake Contracting. Another method is enclosure, or the covering of lead-bearing surfaces, including the construction of dry walls and the installation of carpets. Despite its scope, any lead abatement activity heeds stringent rules. A containment area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a plastic tent over the house when working on the exterior â&#x20AC;&#x201C; needs to be constructed. Rigid removal procedures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sealing any waste and disposing of it in regulated landfills â&#x20AC;&#x201C; must be followed. Meticulous cleaning should oust any gathered

dust, a process that contractors repeat until a follow-up lead inspection indicates no lead hazards. Hazards, though, can also lurk in a houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plumbing as pipes and fixtures used to be made of lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lately, there has been a lot of focus on lead pipes and water contamination in lead pipes,â&#x20AC;? Isaacs said. Any mitigation, however, may pose a challenge, especially so for service pipes, or those that carry water from a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main to a property and lie on both public and private premises. Pipes might be hard to inspect and replace, but lead-loaded water can be easily tested and filtered through a system affixed to the kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faucet or at the start of an unleaded private service pipe. Dragosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water proved free of lead. After a lab analysis, so did the soil. Content with the outcome, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;my advice is to just go ahead and invest in the (lead) tests so you know exactly what you are dealing with.â&#x20AC;?
