I. What's growing on the arbor at the rear of the Miksch lot? ANSWER: Hops (Humulus lupulus) - perennial vine frequently planted by families in Salem - used in brewing beer and making bread - vines die back each fall and begin growth in spring from underground rhizomes - vines grow quickly during spring and summer to completely cover arbor - flowering begins in mid-summer - fruits ripen and ready for harvest in September 2. What was the function of the summerhouse in the Miksch garden? ANSWER: - provided gardeners protection from sun and rain - spot to rest and relax from labor - pitched roof provided good ventilation to dry herbs and flowers - a summerhouse is noted on 1761 Hortus Medicus plan at Bethabara, but no pictures or plans exist - architectural detailing of the current re-created summerhouse is purely conjectural 3. What is the bush growing on the south end of the Miksch manufactory? - ancient fruit associated with early civilizations and gardens - never mentioned in any of the gardening accounts and records of Bethabara or Salem, but a fruit widely planted by the colonists in the temperate regions of the Middle Atlantic and upper south - small pear-shaped fruit ripens in late summer; eaten fresh or dried ANSWER: - Fig (Ficus Carica) 4.
