The older the globe, the higher the price may be

H

OME SCHOOLING and extra time spent with family because of coronavirus health rules have created a demand for maps, globes and more information about other countries. It is not difficult to figure out the probable age of a globe. The older the globe, the higher the price might be. The first terrestrial globe known to historians was probably made in 1492, a globe showing what the land mass looked like on a sphere. It was created in Germany.

A terrestrial globe you might buy today at a flea market or house sale is probably less than 100 years old. Look for the name of the manufacturer. You can research when the company made globes. Early makers are listed online and in schoolbooks. You can note the country names on a globe and make a list to guide your search for a date. There have been many name changes and they overlap in time, so a list helps. Russia became the Soviet Union in 1922.

There is a song that reminds us, “Now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople,” dating the change in 1930. And Persia became Iran in 1935. Siam changed its name to Thailand in 1939. There have been many more changes, but these should help spot a globe made before the 1930s. Israel was created in 1948. The Gold Coast became Ghana in 1957. Ceylon became Sri Lanka in 1972.

Czechoslovakia split into two countries in 1993 and a new map or globe now calls them the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The first celestial globes showing the positions of stars were created in the second century and they are also made today. Probably the most expensive new globe available is one sold by Hammacher Schlemmer for $14,000. A new school globe can sell for as little as $70.

This terrestrial globe was made by Rand-McNally in the 1930s. The stand is made of mahogany. The 17-inch globe has a calibrated meridian, and a paper horizon band.

where the event happened, published when it happened, is worth more than newspapers from other areas. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy, while he was riding in a motorcade in Dallas, made headlines in newspapers all over the United States and beyond. Many people saved the newspapers, thinking they might be valuable someday, but there are so many copies around that most have no value. However, the Nov. 23 edition of the Dallas Morning News in good condition is worth $200 or more.

pieces of Currier & Ives Early Winter dishes that belonged to my mother.

I would like to know if there is any value to them before I take the time and effort to sell them.

A.

Royal China Company of Sebring, Ohio, made dinnerware with transfer patterns based on Currier & Ives prints from 1949 to about 1983. The dishes were made in blue, black, brown, green, pink and multicolor. Blue and white designs are the most common. The dishes were given out as premiums in grocery stores and were sold in department stores and through

mail order catalogs. Harker Pottery made some Currier & Ives dinnerware with decal decorations. Sets of dinnerware are hard to sell.

A five-piece place setting of blue and white Royal China Currier & Ives is offered for $38 online; dinner plates go for $10 to $20. Shops that sell the china might be interested in buying it, but you would have to pack, insure and ship it, and they would only pay about 1/3 to 1/2 of retail. It’s easier to donate the dishes to a charity and take the tax deduction. Currier & Ives Dinnerware Collectors Club is a club for collectors of Royal China’s Currier & Ives dinnerware and has a website (CurrierAndIves Dinnerware.com) with more information.

Tip: Swish some vinegar in a stained coffee or tea cup.

Then wash and dry the cup.

Washington Post

ost people know of the Japanese plant art of bonsai, in which tiny trees are cultivated in stylish pots. Few people are aware, though, of a related Japanese pursuit named kusamono, in which simple wildflowers, grasses and other soft plants receive the same sort of treatment.

One reason for this is that although bonsai is a popular and commercialized hobby, there are just a handful of kusamono virtuosos in the United States, none more accomplished than Young Choe, a Korean American horticulturist from Ellicott City, Maryland.

THE REPUBLICAN | MASSLIVE.COM

This kusamono composition includes the wildflower Indian pink, sedge and the perennial Culver’s root. (YOUNG CHOE)

Horticulturist puts American spin on Japanese art form

Although bonsai trees can appear immutable, kusamono compositions mark the seasons, here the arrival of the early spring blooms of the epimedium hybrid Niveum. (YOUNG CHOE)

Her creations — unexpected, essential and surprisingly haunting — take common plants and elevate them as living subjects of delight and desire. A pennisetum grass you might barely notice in the office park becomes kinetic sculpture; common cranesbill is transformed into a grove of flowers; and the trillium of the woodland floor is placed on Choe’s pedestal.

“I love to show people how beautiful they are,” she said.

Her kusamono subjects are not so much shrunk, as bonsai is, but rendered as minimalist forms. She starts many from seed or cuttings, others are

collected from her garden or the properties of friends, and some are acquired from plant nurseries, including misshapen waifs she transforms artistically. The stems are trained and shaped as they grow, a process that can take from two to six years to yield Zenlike perfection.

I find the creations incredibly powerful, even moving, especially the wildflowers nor-

mally found massed in nature.

Singled out in low, stylish pots, they are removed from their ordinary settings to a place of veneration. In kusamono, as in most things in life, context leads to revelation.

There might be another reason for the rarity of kusamono, which translates roughly as grass thing.

The novelty of kusamono here and its masterful cultivation have made Choe a popular speaker and instructor across the country and, on occasion, in Europe. Pancotti describes her as “the preeminent kusamono artist in the United States.” In a normal year, she would spend most weekends traveling to give talks and hold workshops. As a rule, she doesn’t sell her plants; her preoccupation is with creating them, not monetizing them.

Like with any art form, the skill and time behind kusamono are not evident. Some creations may require an intricate, if hidden, system of wiring to keep them secure in shallow pots.

A native jack-in-the-pulpit was raised over four years from seed. A species rose took at least six years, again grown from seed. Most plants are herbaceous, though some are woody — including hydrangeas, honeysuckles, deutzias and the rose.

Kusamono shares one essential element with bonsai: the importance of pairing pot with plant. The shape, the size, the color, the finish of a container are all in a dialogue with the plant. Choe has approximately 1,000 containers, but they must wait for the right plant before they are pressed into service. She obtains many from the vendors who attend bonsai shows; she commissions others directly from a network of bonsai potters. “I give them the dimensions, basic information, but I want them to create them in their own artistic way,” she said. “A lot of artists are poor, so I want to encourage them.”

Home buyers say they want room for an office in their next housing choice.

Home office is 2020’s hot feature

By Steve Brown

Tribune News Service

Forget about those media rooms, wine cellars and home spas — the hottest item for buyers in a COVID-19 world is a home office.

With millions of Americans now working at home, house hunters are looking for more room to hang their work hats.

Almost half of home shoppers nationwide say they have converted a space at home into a remote office, according to a new study by Realtor.com.

And more than 60% of potential homebuyers say that working at home is influencing the kind of house they want and the location.

“The ability to work remotely is expanding home shoppers’ geographic options and driving their motivation to buy, even if it means a longer commute, at least in the short term,” Realtor.com senior economist George Ratiu said in the new report. “Although it’s too early to tell what long-term impact

the COVID-era of remote work will have on housing, it’s clear that the pandemic is shaping how people live and work under the same roof.”

Local real estate agents say that buyers are looking at larger homes and that room for an office can be a must.

“I have seen more buyers looking home offices in their next home purchase and even floor plans with options for two homes offices for couples and families,” said Dallas agent David Bush.

A home office was the most chosen new home feature, according to a Realtor.com June survey. Nearly 40% of currently employed home shoppers surveyed nationwide said they are currently working from home as a result of COVID-19.

“It is a required room,” said Marty Marks with Ebby Halliday Realtors. “If there’s not one already there, we need an extra bedroom or buyers will convert the formal dining room into an office.”

30-year U.S. mortgage rates slip down to 2.99%

It was Mortgage rates didn’t move 2.98% two weeks ago. much this week but they went Freddie Mac, the federally down enough to cross a signifi- chartered mortgage investor, cant marker. aggregates rates from around According to the latest data 80 lenders across the country released Thursday by Freddie to come up with weekly nationMac, the 30-year fixed-rate av- al average mortgage rates.

average 0.7 point. It was 2.54% a week ago and 3.20% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average fell to 2.94% with an average 0.4 point. It was 3.09% a week ago and 3.46% a year ago.

Low rates fueled the revival of the housing market after the Great Recession. But lately they are a source of frustration.

Homeowners want to refinance but struggle to reach banks and lenders because of how busy they are. Home buyers want to take advantage of the low rates

but the few number of homes on the market are driving up housing prices and making selections scarce.

And as attractive as these rates are to borrowers, few can obtain them. Many lenders are putting restrictions on loans, particularly if a borrower wants a cash-out refinance or jumbo loan or has a poor credit score.

“Because of financial uncertainty brought about by the pandemic, many lenders have tightened their restrictions

on jumbo loans,” said Glenn Brunker, mortgage executive with Ally Home. “Some lenders have gone as far as not offering jumbo loans or only making them available to existing customers... It’s important to know jumbo mortgages aren’t just for the super-rich. Borrowers in areas where real estate prices tend to be higher, such as California, New York, Boston, Miami and Washington, D.C., may need jumbo loans to even achieve homeownership.”

Cultivating a soulful garden

By Adrian Higgins

Washington Post

What gives a garden its soul?

It’s a straightforward question with a complicated answer.

A garden gets its essential character through a number of elements: the spaces that are carved up, the way views are framed and the references to the surrounding environment, including topography. Time is an important factor, because it takes several years for trees, shrubs, hedges and vines to attain their own architectural character.

Most of all, a garden can only come to life with the ongoing involvement of a gardener.

A soulful garden might be professionally designed; a sensitive designer can bring essential clarity and coherence.

But a garden that is merely constructed — instant, overblown and derivative — will find that spirit elusive. Soulful gardens have a particularity about them that makes them not only unique but also memorable.

Landscape makers and theorists through history have understood the need to “consult” the underlying qualities of the site, and then augment its character through the patient development of the garden.

These ideas underpin a new book, “Spirit of Place,” by Bill Noble, a garden designer and landscape preservationist who

has spent almost three decades developing his garden around an 1830s Greek Revival farmhouse in Vermont with distant views of the White Mountains in neighboring New Hampshire.

He lives with his partner, James Tatum, on high ground called Bragg Hill. The property consists of a 10-acre hayfield, another 10 acres of woodland and, at its core, a garden of two acres or more around the house. Here, Noble and longtime gardening assistant Susan Howard have planted, tweaked and maintained garden features.

The property’s previous incarnation as a dairy farm informs the work: The old vegetable garden has been expanded to include an ambitious flower garden, and the stony remnants of an old dairy barn lead to a rock garden with echoes of the distant mountain ridges.

Other areas include a long border of foliage plants, a quiet garden room retreat of subdued ground covers, a woodland garden and a stylized meadow of grasses and perennials.

The flower garden and the rock garden, in their creation and plant choices, speak to garden forms that are now passe but that connect to the region’s garden history.

Earlier in his career, Noble worked in the historical

gardens of Cornish, New Hampshire, a 19th-century artist’s colony notably settled by the sculptor Augustus SaintGaudens. Later, Noble became the director of landscapes at the Fells, a historical house and garden in Newbury, New Hampshire. More recently, and for 15 years, he was the director of preservation for the Garden Conservancy, where he worked on projects across the country.

His work immersed him in two gardens in particular that seemed to have most successfully achieved a spirit of the place and inspired him in his own garden. The first was the Fells, whose restoration included a large rock garden that, Noble writes, “seemed to grow organically out of the granite-covered hillside.”

The second was a Garden Conservancy project, the Chase Garden in Orting, Washington, in the shadow of Mount Rainier and the Cascades, where another rock garden, meadows and woodlands pay homage to the dramatic setting without trying to outcompete it.

Entering both gardens, “my heart rate would change and the feelings I got were unique, with very special experiences,” Noble said.

In his own flower garden, some of the plant selections are decidedly old-fashioned

and include garden phlox, bearded iris and delphiniums. They acknowledge the region’s historical gardens and, moreover, Noble’s personal and professional journey through them. He writes: “This is a country garden set around an old farmhouse, and an old-fashioned garden packed with old-fashioned plants feels right.”

And yet, he tells me, “I certainly don’t want to get stuck in the past.” The area he calls “the New Meadow” is his take on contemporary herbaceous gardening. His plants, all along, have been there to draw pollinators, birds and other wildlife before that practice became trendy.

I asked him how he might

have messed up trying to capture the spirit of the place.

One way would have been to turn it into a dwarf conifer garden (talk about a blast from the past) or simply a disjointed plant collector’s garden.

Another pitfall is to go overboard with new walls, terraces and other garden architecture.

“Luckily, my budget never allowed me to do that,” he said.

“I was really conscious that many of the gardens I worked with at the Garden Conservancy are not going to last unless young people take an interest,” he said. By holding his garden out as an inspiration, “I could try to encourage people to find their own passion about their own place and to make the garden they want to make.”
