1800s portraits framed, displayed as they are today

B

Y 1861, WHEN THE Civil War started, there were already several ways to take a picture. The first photos of a war were taken during the Mexican-American fight from 1846 to 1848. The Civil War (1861-1865) was the fourth. Matthew Brady was a determined photographer who collected his and other photographers’ war photos by buying negatives from others. Most of the pictures in museums today are part of the record saved by Brady, but not all were taken by him.

There are ambrotypes, daguerreotypes, albumen prints and a surprising number of stereo pictures of the war. Many were portraits of soldiers in uniform posing in a studio, but there are also many pictures of battlefields after a fight showing the dead.

The portraits were framed and displayed just as we do today.

An unusual painted iron picture frame was offered in an Eldred auction with an estimated price of $500 to $1,000. It held two pictures, and the small glass circle at the top of the frame beneath an eagle was meant for a picture of President Lincoln.

The large circle surrounded by American flags and a Union shield held the portrait of a soldier. The frame was marked as “design patented Nov. 25, 1862” and was probably made for years after that.

Tarragon an easy herb to grow

T

and in soil that drains well, is even a bit on the dry side. Wet soil spells death to tarragon in winter. And speaking of winter, at its approach, cut tarragon stems to the ground, then cover the plant with some fluffy, organic material such as straw or oak leaves.

Remove the covering in spring as growth begins.

Once your tarragon plantation comes into full production, there’s almost no end to the uses for this herb.

ARRAGON LOOKS as pretty now as it’s going to look any time of the year. Its flowers are nothing to speak of, but the strappy leaves — gray-green with a satiny sheen — hold up well in the heat and dryness of midsummer weather. But who cares what tarragon looks like? We want it for its flavor, smooth and slightly licorice-y.

Though found in few gardens, tarragon is an easy herb to grow. It is as hardy to winter cold as it is to summer heat, and it is perennial. Not perennial like mint or lemon balm, both of which take over the garden unless their growth is checked in some way. Tarragon is perennial and well-behaved, spreading only slowly and not self-sowing its seeds.

In fact, good tarragon doesn’t make any seeds at all, so you can’t use seeds to start your own plants. If you do ever see tarragon seeds offered for sale, don’t buy them! Only Russian tarragon, destitute of flavor, makes viable seeds from which it can be propagated.

The way to make new plants of the desirable French tarragon, besides just going out and buying them, is by cuttings or by division. Stem cuttings root fairly easily whether the stems are young and succulent or older and toughening. Or take root cuttings in early spring just before growth begins, setting thick root pieces beneath a half-inch cover of soil either in seed flats or out in the garden.

Early spring is also the time to multiply a tarragon plant by division. Dig up an established clump, then cut it apart with a knife or your shovel blade into smaller pieces, each with roots attached, for replanting. Old plants like to be renewed this way every few years and replanted somewhere new. For just one or two new plants, dig out some sprouts and attached roots from the edge of a

What to know before jumping into that aboveground pool purchase

By Laura Daily

W

Special to The Washington Post

ith temperatures soaring, vacations canceled and most community swimming pools limiting access or closed, a backyard pool seems like a good idea. No, not one of those blowup kiddie pools or cheap plastic ones that your dog would love, but a real, aboveground pool large enough for the entire family.

Aboveground pools have become so popular during the pandemic that they’re hard to find. But you can do your homework to have one ready for next summer. (ROYAL SWIMMING POOLS)

“It’s no mystery why aboveground pools are so popular.

They provide homeowners with all the joys of having a backyard pool without having to take on the cost, commitment and full-on construction project that an in-ground pool entails,� says Michael Dean of Asheville, North Carolina, who has designed and installed pools for more than 25 years.

Unfortunately, you may not be able to get one. Demand is up fourfold over last year, according to Laci Carnes, a spokesperson for Royal Swimming Pools, one of the country’s largest distributors of aboveground pools. Since March, the bulk of manufacturers, vendors and distributors have been shuttered.

Between social distancing restrictions for employees and supply-chain issues, those manufacturers that reopened production can produce only a fraction of their orders. Many have stopped taking new orders altogether.

Still, with some sleuthing and a bit of creativity, you may find a pool that suits your needs. Here’s what to know before you dive in.

Map out your space Consider how much room you have. Aboveground pools typically start at 10 to 12 feet in diameter, but the buttresses that hold up the sides can add an additional 3 feet. Some municipalities or homeownSEE POOL, PAGE F6

A colleague kept an impressively large Christmas cactus atop my bookcase at the office, but it remained in a constant state of dehydration despite my occasional deep soaking of the pot. I grabbed it on my way out, and a couple of weeks into the shutdown, I set about trying to resuscitate it.

branch and then observed the nascent leaves on every leafy branch.

Having a green thumb is nothing more than not neglecting a plant. Give it some light, repot every year or two, feed it regularly but not excessively when in growth and, most of all, pay attention to the watering. Watering is straightforward — you water a pot thoroughly but only when the soil surface feels dry. Pots should drain.

On no account keep the soil wet.

While you’re checking the soil moisture, use some scissors to groom the plant.

Remove unsightly leaves, take off faded stems and wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth. The plant will look and function better.

Most houseplants love to be outside at this time of year in the heat and humidity. There are some serious provisos, as Angela Weber Hetrick of the U.S. Botanic Garden points out. First, most houseplants are shade plants, and to place them in full sun, especially with no acclimation, will lead to significant scorching and dieback. “The light levels are drastically different,” she said. “The key outside is not to have them burn.” A plant in the shade at 10 a.m. may be feeling the full fury of the sun by the afternoon. Pay attention.

The second key element is watering. A plant indoors in air conditioning may need watering once or twice a week. One outside may need watering daily, depending on the size of the container, the type of pot and its location. If you have your plants outside, remove the saucers to prevent waterlogging.

I asked Hetrick why my night-blooming cereus, large and established, is so shy to bloom. I know I don’t feed my plants enough, but she suggested I move the cereus into a brighter part of the patio — but gradually.

I starve my plants a bit, because I’m not a fan of chemical fertilizers, though synthetic slow release or liquid feeds are convenient for the houseplant gardener.

Many organic feeds smell like a farmyard, tolerable outdoors but not the sort of indoor aromatherapy you need. I have found a dried kelp meal that has an aroma that is agreeable if not adorable. It recalls a rocky beach, full of clinging seaweed and an ebbing tide. In the middle of a pandemic, it could be worse.

Blanket chest both practical, beautiful

A

CLASSIC WOODworking project is almost always the result of a successful marriage — the relationship between practical functionality and a beautiful design.

There’s nothing more satisfying than creating something useful that also looks great, and this handsome blanket chest project is a great example of that classic combination.

The project provides extra storage — something every home can use — while looking great at the foot of the bed. It also serves as handy spot to tie your shoes in the morning.

The project provides extra storage — something every home can use — while looking great at the foot of the bed. It also serves as handy spot to tie your shoes in the

morning.

Easy and inexpensive to build, the chest is cut almost entirely from a single sheet of oak plywood (as pictured; almost any species can be substituted). Basically a simple box, six rectangular pieces make up the sides, top and bottom. The curves on the base are traced from fullsize patterns.

The completed blanket chest measures about 47 inches long by 20 inches deep by 20 inches tall.

The Blanket Chest plan, No. 724, is $9.95 and includes step-by-step instructions with photos, full-size traceable patterns, construction diagrams, a complete shopping list and cutting schedule and a toll-free help line for project questions. Please include $3.95 for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.

WASHINGTON

30-year mortgage rates climb back above 3%

By Kathy Orton

Washington Post

Mortgage rates moved higher for the first time in six weeks.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average rose to 3.01% with an average 0.8 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.98% a week ago and 3.75% a year ago.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from about

80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national average mortgage rates.

It uses rates for high-quality borrowers who tend to have strong credit scores and large down payments. These rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate average increased to 2.54% with an average 0.7 point. It was 2.48% a week ago and 3.18% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average grew to 3.09% with an average 0.3 point. It was 3.06% a week ago and 3.47% a year ago.

Despite the uptick, rates remain near historic lows.

“Rates have been remarkably flat lately, holding at or near record low levels for essentially the entire month of July,” said Matthew Speakman, a Zillow economist.

“The reason for this is, of course, recent developments with the coronavirus pandemic. Investors continue to hold pat, waiting for clearer signs of damage to the economy as a result of the recent surge in cases, or evidence of society’s resilience and ability to maintain some form of normalcy.”

The low rates have spurred the housing market, one of the bright spots in the U.S. economy.

Enticed by low rates, buyers returned in force last month.

Existing-home sales rocketed up nearly 21% in June, the highest monthly gain on record. But even with the strong rebound from sharp declines in the previous months because of coronavirus shutdowns, sales were still down more than 11% annually.

“Existing-home sales are the latest major metric to climb out of the loss column, as

reopenings in May and June boosted contract signings that resulted in strong June sales numbers,” said Robert Frick, corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “It’s progress, but the annualized number reported Wednesday for June is still far below the actual 5.34 million sold in 2019. Sales are still hampered by the weak economy, which causes fewer Americans to move for jobs and so keeps the supply of existing homes on the market low, as well as the potential buyers’ reluctance to tour homes due to COVID-19.”
