Biscuits served in a decorative ‘box’

HE ENGLISH SPOken in England can sometimes confuse an American because the same word can mean different things in the two countries.

Almost every tourist learns that in England a “lift” is an elevator. But who has been warned that an English “biscuit” is what an American calls a “cookie,” and that an American biscuit, also called “shortbread,” is a British scone?

Several English silver-plated biscuit boxes were sold at a Neal auction recently along with labeled rectangular wooden boxes and covers and decorated tin boxes filled with loose cookies (biscuits) for the store.

One of the silver boxes was made by James Dixon & Sons, a well-known Sheffield manufacturer that worked from 1804 to 1992. It is almost 11 inches high. Price including buyer’s premium, $256.

Q. My mother says her

bracelet is made of bake-alite. What is that?

A.

in a series of 29 baseball cards that came in packages of Dan Dee potato chips in 1954. Dan Dee Pretzel and Potato Chip Co. was in business in Cleveland from 1916 to 2018. Most of the cards pictured players on the Cleveland Indians or Pittsburgh Pirates, baseball teams in Dan Dee’s distribution area. Red Schoendienst, an infielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, was one of seven others included. The value of a baseball card is based on the popularity of the player, the rarity of the card and its condition. Since the Dan Dee cards were in the bag next to the chips and had only a wax coating to protect them, most have some grease stains or bent corners. Price paid for your card in good condition is about $75.

This silver-plated serving piece is called a box, but it doesn’t look like one. It held English biscuits, but if the sides opened, the cookies inside would fall down. Each of the shell-shaped bowls had a hinged, pierced flap that kept the heat and the biscuits in place when the sides were opened and became flat bowls to serve the cookies. The flaps are often missing when the biscuit box is sold. (COWLES SYNDICATE INC.)

Q. I have a cast-iron Bos-

ton Terrier doorstop that is about 7 by 9 inches with a seam that indicates it was cast in two parts. How can I tell if it’s by Hubley and what the value might be?

A.

Many companies made Boston Terrier doorstops, but the one made by Hubley Manufacturing Co. of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is the most famous. Most of the dogs look to the right. A few look to the left and are rarer and worth more. Hubley molds were sold to the John Wright Co. of Wrightstown, Pennsylvania, in 1940, and that company began making reproductions of several Hubley doorstops.

Not all Hubley doorstops were marked, but most have a three-digit number on the

Q.

We found a baseball card in good shape among our grandfather’s household items. It says “Dan Dee Red Schoendienst” and has the player’s picture and his signature on the front. The back says “Albert Frederick Schoendienst,” lists his statistics and records, and has “Dan Dee Hylo-ized Potato Chips” on the bottom.

Bakelite is a plastic developed in the early 1900s.

It was used for jewelry by the 1930s by major designers. The art deco jewelry became very popular. Bakelite was needed for the war in the 1940s, so the jewelry wasn’t made for about five years. About 1997, the deco jewelry was rediscovered by collectors, and books were published with information and color pictures that made prices skyrocket.

Bracelets with inset dots were selling for $300 to $1,000.

Small pins were $75 to $300, and carved bracelets were about $500. There is a good supply of plastic jewelry now that those who bought in the 1990s are older and “decluttering.” A recent Morphy’s auction sold about 600 pieces in a recent auction. They sold for a total of $43,000 (yes, I counted the pieces), with an average price of $70.

A balanced diet of carbon and nitrogen

BIT OF CHEMIStry might be good for your compost. Just a bit. Actually, we need to deal with two familiar elements of the 100 plus known ones. These two elements are carbon and nitrogen, and they are the ones for which the “bugs” that do the work of making compost are most hungry.

Work is too strong a word, though, because these composting bugs do nothing more than eat. Nonetheless, a balanced diet – one balanced mostly with respect to carbon and nitrogen – does these bugs, the composting microorganisms, good.

This time of year, the microorganisms’ smorgasbord is set with an especially wide array and abundance of carbon-rich foods. You can identify these foods because they are old plants or plant parts. As such, they are mostly brown and mostly dry. Autumn leaves, for example. Other carbon-rich foods include wood chips, straw, sawdust, hay, and even paper, made – after all – from wood pulp or other old, dry plant material.

Just as we humans cannot live on bread and pasta alone (carbon-rich foods), so it is with composting microorganisms. So let’s now peruse the smorgasbord for some nitrogen-rich fare. This would include green stuff: young,

Antiques

succulent plants and plant parts. There’s not a whole lot of this stuff around this time of year, but there is some, including grass clippings, kitchen scraps, and spent plants such as broccoli and pepper.

When there’s insufficient nitrogen foods to balance out all the carbon foods you could now find for your compost, it’s time for dietary supplements.

Nitrogen-rich supplements for the compost pile include manures and nitrogen fertilizers. Manures usually also add some carbon food, in the form of the straw, woodshavings, or whatever else the animal was bedded in.

No need to get out the chemistry set to analyze how rich a food is in carbon or nitrogen so that you can get them in exact balance (which, if you must know, is a ratio of 20:1). Just keep in mind that the younger the plant part, the richer it is in nitrogen. Also that rabbit manure is richer in nitrogen than is chicken manure, which is richer than, going down the line, sheep, horse, duck, cow, and, finally, pig manure. Nitrogen fertilizers are very concentrated sources of nitrogen.

So pile anything and everything that was once or is living into your compost bin, balancing carbon-rich foods with nitrogen-rich ones. After garden and backyard cleanup

is finished for the season, the scale tips the other way as vegetable scraps become the most significant additions to your compost pile. Balance the food value of this nitrogen-rich material with an occasional cover of wood chips or hay from a pile you keep handy next to your compost bin.

If you want to see how you’re doing as a compost bug dietician, monitor the goings on within your pile with a long-probed thermometer and your nose. If the materials are moist and outdoor temperatures not frigid, the well-fed pile will be decidedly warm – 120 degrees F., or tor’s plates, don’t use any form of abrasive cleaner on them.

Keeping records of what you add to your compost pile and how it responds helps you remember what you do right and wrong.

Grow a hydroponic garden

E

By A.C. Shilton

New York Times

mily Marsh, who lives in Sonoma County, California, always thought the best thing about gardening was the feel of soil on her fingertips. But last year she and her fiancé moved to a townhouse with an 8-by-12-foot concrete slab for a backyard. As lockdowns in California stretched into May, and Marsh, 30 and a co-owner of a janitorial company, read about the surge in gardens, she felt the urge to plant her own. But her only real option was a hydroponic setup.

getting your hands dirty.

A hydroponic setup requires a few basic elements.

Whether you construct it yourself or buy a kit, a hydroponic garden needs the following: • Seeds or seedlings. If you’re doing this inside, look for varieties that thrive in containers. This will ensure that none of your plants get so big they take over your whole

hydroponic setup.

• A reservoir for the nutrient solution, which is made up of all the macronutrients (think nitrogen and phosphorus) and micronutrients (like iron and calcium) plants need.

• An aerating pump for oxygenating your nutrient solution, since plant roots need oxygen, too.

• A water pump to move SEE GARDEN, PAGE F5

• Light! More on this below.

• A “medium.” Since you’re not using soil, you’ll need something to hold the plant’s roots in place. Many mediums also help keep roots moist between waterings. Lubkeman recommends a material called rockwool for beginners.

Decide whether to build yourself or build out of a box.

As with most hobbies, you can spend a little or a lot.

Originally, Marsh wanted to go the cheap route. Setting up a medium-size DIY system with a few buckets and an aquarium pump can set you back less than $150. But Marsh worried about getting everything working correctly. Lettuce Grow’s container is made from recycled plastic, and for Marsh, that tipped the scales toward buying a premade kit, even if units start at $348 — no lights included.

Aerogarden’s smallest units, which do include grow lights, start at $99, with larger models going up to $600.

Ultimately, the decision to buy a kit or build your own comes down to whether you enjoy tinkering or would rather not spend a Saturday gluing PVC pipes and plastic tubing together.

There is too much of a good thing.

If some plant nutrients are good, more would be better, right? That’s not at all the case, Liston said. So far, she has managed not to overfeed her plants, but too much plant food can result in dead or severely damaged plants. How often and how much you’ll need to feed depends on the type of nutrient solution you’re using.

Read the directions on the bottle.

Let those lights shine.

You may be able to grow lettuce, kale or herbs in a sunny window, but as days get shorter, investing in a full-spectrum grow light is worth the expense.

These lights provide the same range of light as the sun, and you’ll see much faster growth, Lubkeman said. In Liston’s case, adding a light and moving her plants next to her sunniest window resulted in a noticeable change in their productivity.

Goodbye, bugs (for better or worse).

Liston’s favorite thing about growing indoors is that it’s bug free. While that means you won’t need to pluck slugs from your lettuce, you will need to take over for bees and do your own pollinating. For plants like peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers, Rabaut said that some customers report getting decent pollination rates just It’s all about balance. by shaking plants gently every Once your setup is set up, you day or two.

Lantanas lead fall garden fest

By Norman Winter Tribune News Service

If the plant world celebrated Oktoberfest, lantanas would be front and center leading the party. As far as The Garden Guy is concerned, it could be a fall lantana fest.

Now don’t get me wrong, they were among the toughest, perseverant performers of the long hot summer. But come September and October, the relief from torrid temperatures brings the lantanas even more blooms, richer colors and lusher foliage. They too seem to be in celebration mode.

I know many of you are already seeing snow and freezing temperatures. If you are happy, I am happy for you. If you are lamenting this sudden change in climate, then head

HOME DESIGN

Making design choices based on wellness, health New York designer Robin Wilson shares tips The Washington Post

New York designer Robin Wilson specializes in eco-friendly homes, rooms and products. She has written two books on creating wellness and health-focused living environments, is an expert on topics including sustainability and has ideas on design for allergy and asthma sufferers.

Wilson joined staff writer Jura Koncius for The Washington Post’s online chat. Here is an edited excerpt.

out how to do cold-weather seating for my outdoor happy-hour routine after working from home. Over the summer, I had cold water and candles outdoors to decompress, but I’m thinking of one chair and hot chocolate for the coming months. I saw someone who puts a blanket or throw in the dryer to warm it up, then uses it. What should I put outside?

A.

To have a hot drink and sit under a warm blanket on your porch or balcony is a great idea for the winter months.

ingredient for the real blooming to occur. While they aren’t finicky on soil, I make soil improvement a practice, always incorporating leaves, compost and organic matter into planting beds. This helps with not only drainage but ideal root expansion with young plants.

Plan on spacing your plants 2 to 3 feet apart depending on your variety selection.

Every September, garden centers load up with mums that we enjoy for a few weeks.

I would tell the industry don’t be afraid to offer us some blooming lantanas to partner with these mums. More than likely they will bloom longer and feed remaining pollinators too.
