October Month of Pure Gold
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Oh, how the years do roll
along! Another October is with
us and soon it will be winter.
Brrrr. the very idea, and qnly
yesterday I could hardly wait for
the iris to open!
Many of you raised apples and
still have some or can get them
very reasonably in the stores and
now is the time to serve them
in various ways.
If you use them raw in salads,
don’t peel them. Let that beauti
ful red skin add color attraction
to your salads! Try adding a
dash of celery seed to the apple
salad with which you use the
mayonnaise type ressing.
Have you ever tried an apple
and cranberry Betty? You can
use more greenish type apples
for that.
APPLE AND CRANBRERRY
BETTY
You’ll need three large green
apples (or other tart type), one
cup bread crumbs (lightly pack
ed), one cup brown sugar, % tea
spon nutmeg, three tablespoons
butter and two cups cranberries.
Brown the crumbs in a mod
e:ate oven of 350 F. Into a cas
eiate over of 350 F. Place a lay
er of sliced apples in a casserole,
add half the sugar and nutmeg.
Dot with butter. Add half the
breadcrumbs and a layer of cran
berries. Repeat, ending with
crumbs. Dot with butter. Bake
one hour in a moderate oven.
Serve with dessert sauce. Serves
six.

October Is
'Golden' Month—
Dear Blanche:
October is a golden month. To
walk down a lane of trees laden
with foliage the color of pure
gold which casts a glow over the
surroundings is like being in an
other world.
The ground is carpeted with
bright leaves, the trees hung
with them, with deep blue skies
forming the background. Such
scenes present the unforgettable
picture that lives in our memory
during the winter days.
But garden-loving people have
many busy days now—there are
things to be done. The house
plants are safely sheltered in
doors. Hyacinths make such love
ly gifts. It’s fun to force a few in
pots of good garden soil, well
drainel. Keep in a cool dark
place. After the holidays the
shoots will appear.
Tender bulbs, tubers, corms
and cacti must come in. Cacti
may be stored dormant during
the winter so the cellar is a good
place for them. Their growth is
at low ebb during the cold sea
son. Cover dahlias and cannas
with dry dirt in the cellar. Glads
should be dried before being
stored. It is well to place moth
balls in the sack that contains
the glad bulbs.
This seems to have been a
good year for vine crops. Gourds
have done very well due to the
absence of bugs and they do not
seem as touchy as we imagine.
It is sometimes said that old
gourd seeds will not grow but I
have found this is not true. They
may not germinate as reaaiiy Dut
they will come in time. I love the
miniature variety. Do not try to
paint fresh ones for they must be
Along with gourds to harvest
there are many other interesting
seed pods for use in winter ar
rangements. I’m thinking of dev
il’s claw. It looks '<ke a small
black bird is it clings to the
plant when ripened after the
green pod has split.
Popcorn of various colors, ev
erlasting flowers and okra and
also ever-interesting is a vase of
crested cox comb. Its blossoms in
brilliant red are a delight with
its possibilities.
“When the frost is on the
pumpkin and the fodder’s in the
shock,” then it’s mum time and
what a glorious display it makes
reflectng the colors of autumn.
Mums are not hard to gTow and
they can survive with a mini
mum of care.
If a heavy frost is impending
before the late mums have
bloomed out, cut the stems and
bring them inside. If developed
far enough the blossoms will
come out beautifully in a vase
of water.
After the ground freezes, cut
the chrysanthemum stalks to lay
ovxer the mulch around the
plants. This, with the addition of
nature’s offering of leaves will
provide protection for the hardi
est kinds. Fall and mums are in
separable as spring and violets.
October holds a particularly
warm spot in our hearts. Certain
ly to those of us here in the mid
west it seems a golden time and
those who have moved to a dif
ferent section of the country ex
press a homesickness at the
thought of our Indian summer.
Yes, October is a golden
month. Don’t waste a minute of
its beauty.
