Flowers When Portland Roses Are Resting
Portland Florist Writes of Annuals Easily Grown and Certain Yield Good Results,
HAVING been asked by the Civic Im
provement Board to write an article
on annual ilan.ts, I shall conline
myself to those varieties "which are easily
grown and furnish the best results with
the least care.
Just as Important as Is the rose for
beautifying our gardens is the annual or
Summer plant to adorn them when rosas
are resting or recuperating, which they
do in July, August and part of Septem
ber. During this period these annual
plants will furnish abundance of flowers
for the garden and house. The name "an
nual" indicates that it only lasts for one
Summer. Sown In the Spring, they bloom,
bear seeds and die the same season. If
sown in the garden now many varieties
will readily grow and bloom, but for a
small garden, where only a few plants of
each kind are wanted, It hardly pays to
labor with seeds, as the plants can bet
hought from any florist at nominal prices.
If sown in the garden, the soil should be
light, sandy and exposed to the south.
Sow in rills and cover the seeds, as a rule,
three times their thickness; water mod
erately, and as soon as the plants are
strong enough transplant to their respec
tive places.
It Is well to water the ground where
seed is to be sown and where plants are
afterward to be set out with a pretty
strong solution of ammonia, as this will
kill snails, which are so detrimental to
young plants. This watering should be
repeated several times and if possible very
early in the morning, when the snails are
out
Sweet Pea.
Everybody knows the sweet pea, which
is one of the hest blooming annuals in
our garden. If sown in rich soil and
pkked when , In bloom almost every day,
net permitting it to grow to seed, it will
Mourn all Summer. The varieties are In
numerable, and the different seed stores
are well supplied with the best sorts.
Asters.
Among all annual plants, the asters
rank among the first. They flower at a
time of year when flowers are scarce, and
for this reason are doubly valuable. Their
colors range in all shades from the purest
white through the deepest maroon and
lavender to dark blue and -purple, almost
black. Is it not wonderful what culture
has done to Improve this flower? From
the original small, single. Insignificant as
ter, a majestic flower like the chrysan
themum has come. forth, ami Is an orna
ment for the finest fiarden. Early asters
are the Comet varieties, and later ones
are Paeonla, Branching, Victoria, "Wash
ington. Sweet Suitan.
(Centaurea Imperalis.) This class is
without doubt the finest of all sweet sul
tans. The beautiful, sweet-scented, artis
tic shaped flowers are borne on long,
strong stems, and when cut will keep for
several days in good condition. It -Is of
easy culture, but likes to have now- soil
and sunny exposure. The yellow sweet
sultan is also worth having; It' Is vory
fragrant and 'showy.
Poppies.
A great advance has been made in re
cent years in the development of the
poppy, which has brought it Into deserved
popularity, and it may be safely said that
no other flowers produce a more brilliant
display of color during the blooming pe
riod. These popples may be sown In rills
about 12 or 14 Inches apart, and when the
plants are about one foot high other seeds
may be sown in betwen the rills. As soon
as the first sowing is' about through
bloom, "give the second sowing a chance,
and you will have a continuous mass of
flowers In the same hed. There are also
quite a number of perennial varieties,
which, when once planted, qome up every
Spring; they should not be missed In any
large gardens. Good varieties are Shirley,
Iceland, English Scarlet, Tulip, Poppy,
Miss Sherwood, White Swan, Paeony
flowered, etc., etc
California Poppy. (Eschscholtzla.) This
is a class by Itself; if sown broadcast In
a fielfi or any other place It will soon
grow and bloom during June and July.
As the seeds are cheap, many unsightly
places may be beautified with a few hand
fuls of these seeds.
Verbena.
This is a valuable' plant for border of
beds or groups of plants. It blooms from
June to October, and forms clusters which
are good sized and of all colors; it also
is suitable for banging baskets.
Petunia.
For outdoor decoration or house culture
few plants equal the. petunia In effective
ness. They commence, flowering .early and
continue n mass of blooms; throughout th"e
whole season until killed by frost: easily
cultivated, only requiring a good soli and
sunny position. They arc unequaled for
hanging baskets, and como single and
double, in all colors except yellow.
Phlox Drummondi.
This Is another beautiful ' border plant
The phlox ma compacta ("Fire Ball"), a
"brilliant deep red, and the "Snow Ball,"
pure white, are very striking. They are
easily cultivated, and well worth the hav
ing, f
Mignonette.
Should not fall to beflji any garden, as
tho odor is-delicious. Hachet Isne.of the
best varieties.
Ricinus.
X
(Castor Oil Bean.)
If an unsightly building Is to bo covered
with a plant there is none more suitable
than Ricinus Zanzlbarlensls, a -new and
distinct class which surpasses in size and
beauty all other varieties. The plants
attain great dimensions, presenting a
splendid aspect with their gigantic
leaves, which range In color from dark
green to coppery "bronze, changing to
dark green with reddish ribs. If the soil
is well prepared, one hean'is sufficient
to cover a space ten feet wide and 15
feet high. .
Nasturtiums.
For easy culture, duration of bloom,
brilliancy of coloring and general "excel
lence, the nasturtium "ranks as one of the
first among annuals. All they need Is
moderate good soil In a woll-dralned,
sunny position, and from within a -few
weeks from the time they aresown until
hard frost comes there is an endless pro
fusion of their gorgeous blossoms. Tho
varieties are numerous and the colors are
from deep red to yellow and bronze. The
climbing varieties are suitable for train
ing up on verandas or trellises, or may be
used to cover unsightly railings or to trail
over rough ground. The seed pods can
be gathered while green and tender for
pickling; so this plant Is not only orna
mental, but useful.
Larkspur.
This is a vers well-known garden flower.
By careful cultivation a vast Improvement
has been effected in size and color of blos
soms and the general habit .of the-plant
The tall branching varieties with spikes
of beautiful, double flowers last in full
beauty the greater part of. the Summer
and Fall. - The' colors are blue, pink and
white. These seeds may be sown on the
very place where they are to .remain for
the Summer; they grow readily, and do
not need transplanting.
Stocks.
(Gllliflower.
Thetock Is one of the most popular
annuals, either for bedding or sot-culture;
for brilliancy and diversity of color, fra
grance, profusion and duration of bloom,
it Is unsurpassed. As the flowers ar fra
grant and easily cultivated and keep well
after being cut, they arc highly valued as
a Summer flower.
Carnation Pinks.
A .magnificent genus, embracing
some of tho most popular flowers in
cultivation; producing a great varjety
of brilliant colors and profusion of
bloom. The Marguerite; is perhaps the
jnost popular variety with the ama
"teur, 'as. they begin flowering In a few
weeks from the time of sowing; They
are semi-dwarf of robust habit and
requiring no artificial heat, producing
on long, strong stems an abundance of
large, double, beautifully fringed and
highly scented flowers. If the Winter
Is not too severe these carnations will
last for another Summer.
Zinnia.
The zinnia is a brilliant Summer
flower and has long been a general fa
vorite. Tho seeds can be sown direct
Into the open ground, bloom . early In
the Summer, and keep on blomlng until
the frost kills them. The colors range
from tho deepest maroon In all differ
ent shades to pure white and yellow.
As they aro so easily cultivated and
make such a grand show they should
not fail to be included in any collec
tion of Summer plants.
Candytuft.
' TJnlversally known and cultivated,
and considered indispensable for cut
ting. All varieties look best in masses
.of beds. They may be sown as border
plants in front of taller growing flow
ers. Seeds sown in Autumn produce
flowers- -early in the Spring; when
sown in April they bloom from July un
til frost The colors are carmine,
crimson and lavender, but the most
popular is the pure white.
Space will not permit tho mention of
all annuals which are worth having.
I shall therefore mention in closing
only a few additional varfeties, consid
ered pretty and of easy, culture. These
are: ""Salpiglossls, a beautiful Summer
plant, three to four tet high. In many
colors; Marigold, both French (dwarf)
and African (tall), all In yellow shades;
Snap-dragon, well known to any ama
teur grower, blooming all Summer;
Ageratum, pretty blue and white color,
and, finally. Lobelia, prettiest and most
satisfactory of all borden plants.
It is tho desire of the Civic Improve
ment Board to foster the love of flow
ers among tho children of Portland,
and It is largely to this end, while rec
ognizing at tho same time the great
benefit to the appearance of the city
which must result, that prize competi
tions for the greatest improvement In
the home surroundings have been sug
gested by tho Board, in the large'r pub
lic schols, and more especially that
large donations of seeds and young
plants have been secured, to be of
fered to the children who enter these
competitions. GEORGE OTTEN.
AS TO DESCENDANTS OF LEWIS AND CLARK
. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. States Two Facts That Explode Claims to Distinguished Ancestry.
SO many' items as to descendants of
the great explorers are floating
around in the newspapers, and so
.many letters arc constantly coming to mfj i
irom mis anu-oiner states wun inquiries,
that I wish to make a brief-statement as
to. my knowledge In this matter. In tho
first place, Meriwether Lewis, had no de
scendants; he died a bachelor. At the
time of his great popularity many chil
dren all over the country, from Maine to
Mississippi, were named for him. and as
some of these may have been Lewis chil
dren, it may. In a measure, explain the
great, number of "descendants of Meri
wether Lewis" who keep cropping up In
various parts of the United States. Meri
wether's brother. Reuben Lewis, also died
childless, so there are no Lewis descend
ants of that family, and all by that name
are collateral.
As to descendants of William Clark,
they are numerous and well known. He
had several sons, all now deceased, the
oldest of whom was named Meriwether
Lewis Clark, and there has always been
a Meriwether Lewis Clark 'In the family.
Besides the descendants of. William Clark,
there are many of the name descended
from his brothers, especially from Jona
than, and these are cropping up con
stantly, and seeking Information as to
their ancestry. There seems to have
been no complete record kept hence some
of these descendants Imagine themselves
descendants of George Rogers Clark, the
great soldier of the Middle West, famed
for the conquest of Illinois, Indiana and
adjacent territories. But George Rogers
Clark also died a bachelor, and when we
see pictures of beautiful women In The
Oregonian, and elsewhere, as descendants
of George Rogers Clark," we may know
there Is some mistake. Meriwether Lewis
and George Rogers Clark would be
amazed to hear how many people are
claiming them as their grandfathers.
Such is fame!
Now, as to children of the rank and file
of that exploration, the following arc
known to be living: Judge William R.
Shannon, of Fowler, Fresno County, Cal.,
is a son of "the boy" George Shannon,
and Is now SO years old. I understand
that Judge Shannon is to be at the Lewis
and Clark Fair, apd we all shall be in
terested to know what personal reminis
cences he can give. If any, of his truly
distinguished father. . George Shannon
and Governor Clark were the two men
who especially Influenced Senators Floyd
and Benton "In presenting and -pressing
the bill for Oregon In Congress In 1S20.
Oregon's debt to Shannon is greater than
can be told. A daughter of this same
George Shannon, Mrs. Eliza Monroe, Is
now living in her SSth year, at Post Falls,
Idaho, but the dear old lady will not like
ly be able to make the journey to Port
land. Next, there are two living descendants
of Alexander Hamilton Willard, of that
oxpedltion. I did not discover this until
after tho publication of "The Conquest,"
but was: notified of it as soon as friends
of the f&mlly had read the book. It seems
that Willard was one pf the blacksmiths,
and finally settled In Plattevllle, Wis.,
after the War of 1812. In 1832, when his
sons wanted to come to the land of gold,
California, he crossed the plains with
them, and died In Franklin, Cal.. probably
the richest member of the expedition. Of
his children, two are living Lewis Wil
lard, of Cottonwood, Arizona, a man past
SO, and a daughter, Mrs. Eliza Hart
sough, at Ball's Ferry, Shasta County,
Cal. I have had letters from all of these
people, and Interesting details that add a
little, but not much, to what is already
stated In "The Conquest"
From the family of this Lewis Willard,
of Cottonwood, Ariz., I secured a copy
of an old daguerreotype of Alexander H.
Willard, that is the only likeness extant
of any of the men with Lewis and Clark,
except xno very poor wood cut of Patrick
Gass. Ihad copies made 'of this Willard
picture,, and presented one to Tho Orego
nian, one to the Louisville Courier-Journal,
where it was published with com
ments last December, and one that was
published In the Sioux City Journal. I
consider this a wonderful picture, an old
man, with his aged wife by his side, but
every bony line of his splendid face show3
what manner of man ho must, have been.
Like a shadow out of the past, it reveala
a typical American, one of the first ex
plorers of this Oregon of ours. I loaned
a copy of this picture also to my friend,
Olln D. Wheeler, who has It reproduced
on page 123 of his splendid work, "The
Trail of Lewis and Clark."
Of the children of Patrick Gass, three
are now living, but with only one, Mrs.
George Brlerlv, Independence, Pa., have
I had any personal correspondence. Sho
told me that her brother, Professor James
W. Gass, was a teacher In Walker, Ver
non County, Iowa. The story of Patrick
Gass ends on page 4-tl of "Tho Conquest."
with his death In 1S70, the last of the men
with Lewis and Clark.
So far as known, these are the only
children of the men with Lewis and Clark
now living, although there may be others
undiscovered. However, I am not "look
ing them up," as a newspaper recently
stated, nor have I been particularly en
gaged In this since the completion of my
work on that subject, although, from the
rafts of mail, one would conclude I was a
living genealogical bureau. Women in al
most every state of the South as woll as
many of the North, are asking me to, .as
sist them In tracing their pedigree, "but
they are all coming, coming to the Lewis
and Clark Fair! EVA EMERY DYE.
