Book Description
Excerpt from Gardens for New Brunswick Schools Care of the Garden After Planting - When once the planting is done. Two half-hours' work per week is sufficient to keep the garden in good condition. The prevention rather than the eradication of weeds should be aimed at. If cultivation is carried on regularly and systematically from the first. The weeds will all be destroyed in the germinating stage and will give no further trouble. Mere weed killing is not the greatest value to be gained by cultivation, however for if the soil is thoroughly stirred around the roots of the plants a couple of times every week. The necessary supply of air in the soil for rapid growth will be ensured. In many cases the top soil forms into a hard crust, especially after a heavy rainfall, and in this hard soil are many little channels through which moisture escapes into the air by evaporation. This soil should be finely pulverized to a depth of two or three inches, thus forming an earth mulch which prevents the rapid escape of moisture from the soil. If mulching and cultivation are thus carefully attended to, the difficult problems connected with the weeding and watering of the garden are incidentally solved. The garden rake should supersede the sprinkling can under ordinary circumstances. Of course it is necessary to water plants after transplanting, and there are certain soils that need watering occasionally during a dry season. But such cases are not common. If artificial watering is needed it should be done in the evening and a plentiful supply should be given. Merely wetting the surface soil encourages shallow rooting and is injurious to the plants.

In the Godfather Garden
Author: Richard Linnett
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813560624
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
In the Godfather Garden is the true story of the life of Richie “the Boot” Boiardo, one of the most powerful and feared men in the New Jersey underworld. The Boot cut his teeth battling the Jewish gang lord Abner Longy Zwillman on the streets of Newark during Prohibition and endured to become one of the East Coast’s top mobsters, his reign lasting six decades. To the press and the police, this secretive Don insisted he was nothing more than a simple man who enjoyed puttering about in his beloved vegetable garden on his Livingston, New Jersey, estate. In reality, the Boot was a confidante and kingmaker of politicians, a friend of such celebrities as Joe DiMaggio and George Raft, an acquaintance of Joseph Valachi—who informed on the Boot in 1963—and a sworn enemy of J. Edgar Hoover. The Boot prospered for more than half a century, remaining an active boss until the day he died at the age of ninety-three. Although he operated in the shadow of bigger Mafia names across the Hudson River (think Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Louis “Lepke” Buchalter, a cofounder of the Mafia killer squad Murder Inc. with Jacob “Gurrah” Shapiro), the Boot was equally as brutal and efficient. In fact, there was a mysterious place in the gloomy woods behind his lovely garden—a furnace where many thought the Boot took certain people who were never seen again. Richard Linnett provides an intimate look inside the Boot’s once-powerful Mafia crew, based on the recollections of a grandson of the Boot himself and complemented by never-before-published family photos. Chronicled here are the Prohibition gang wars in New Jersey as well as the murder of Dutch Schultz, a Mafia conspiracy to assassinate Newark mayor Kenneth Gibson, and the mob connections to several prominent state politicians. Although the Boot never saw the 1972 release of The Godfather, he appreciated the similarities between the character of Vito Corleone and himself, so much so that he hung a sign in his beloved vegetable garden that read “The Godfather Garden.” There’s no doubt he would have relished David Chase’s admission that his muse in creating the HBO series The Sopranos was none other than “Newark’s erstwhile Boiardo crew.”
