She explained soil mixtures, meth od of fertilizing, places most suit able in the house for various types of plants and a most interesting explanation of the construction and care of her green house. The next meeting of the North Umpqua Garden Club will be at the home of Mrs. Harry Young on March 8. For The New Rose Orower If you are a new rose grower, start out with some of the old, time tested varieties first. You can find out how to grow roses from these. After you have learned something about them try some of the newer ones. Here is a list of standard hybrid teas which are good growers, with a good bush, good foliage and plen tiful bloom through the season: Radiance, pink: Red Radiance, good red; Mrs. Charles Bell, light pink: President Hoover, multi colored; Margaret McGrady, Ori ental red and carmine; Mrs. Pierre S. duPont, rich red; Golden Dawn, light yellow; Etoil de Hol land, crimson red; Kaisirin Au guste Victoria, white; Charles K. Douglas, red; McGrady s Scarlet, scarlet and orange, and Dainty Bess, pink, single. Evergreen Hane you thought to look around your neighborhood and make a note of those evergreens that look best during the winter that have withstood the winter just passed? If you haven't started your land scaping, or if you want to do some remodeling of your yard, you may be able to use some of them in your own garden. Pulmenaria AugustifolU There is a low growing perennial called pulmonaria Augustifolia, that is fine for that shady location in your yard. It is easily grown and propogated, as the plants should be divided about every three years. Though it thrives in an open or partly shaded location, in rich moist soil on the light side, it will survive months of neglect. This plant is neat in or out of bloom and lovely at flowering time. The brilliant blue flowers turn pink as they fade which adds to its charm. Pulmonaria is lovely In front of Foraythia or at the front of the perennial border. The foliage is spotted and stays beautiful all summer. Pruning Pruning is more than just snip ping off a branch here and there. Contrary to popular belief, prun ing does not stimulate new growth from the base of the shrub, but from the outermost end of t h e PEOPLE DO READ SPOT ADS rh U what rml r tv.dinr now bottom. When pruning a flowering shrub, study its individual growing and blooming habits. The flowering shrubs should be pruned just aft er they bloom. Cut out any dead branches weak shoots or suck ers. The weak shoots will usually be found at the base and in the center of the plant where light and air are scarce. Don't leave heavy stubs because the next season a mass of small useless branches crop out, just be low the end of each stub. Instead, trace farther down the stem you are cutting until you come to a fork or desirable branch, then cut just above this branch. If there are no forks, cut the branch off at the ground. If some of your evergreen shrubs or trees have been damaged by tha freeze of the past winter, you may not want to prune them at all, as the bare branches might look worse than the brown needles. The new shoots will grow out eventual ly and the brown needles will fall off.

The low - cost, durable wood structure under test for the past year follows the principal of "toy buildings by farmers, local car penters, or the manufacturer. Main tools for erecting such buildings are a post-hole digger and i hoist to lift the building units into place. Wall and roof panels are bolted to the super-structure. These multi-use buildings should cost no more than "fixed" build ings, says Bonnicksen.

There are more than a thousand different cultivated varieties of ros es. The interest in producing new types of roses is so great that more than three hundred new types have been patented in the U.S. since 1930. As many new ros es have been patented as all other flowers taken together. Activo Plant For Active Children Do you yearn for something that will gain and hold the interest of your youngsters?

Quisen berry, crops research expert for the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, sums up the nation's wheat growers' problems. the goal ahead, he said here; recently, is a cooperative effort to produce a wheat variety that will fit a known market need and will not have to find its place by ! chance. Continuing progress has been made in such fields as wheat dis eases and insect control, he told the National Assn. of Wheat Grow ers, yet much work remains to be done in these and other fields, in cluding soil and water conserva tion and quality. Quisenberry said the present wheat surplus does not reduce the need for research. "Indeed." he said, "it points up the need for more research if we are to meet our stated goals of stabilized production, dependabil ity of varieties and superior quality." Discussing the continuing fight against wheat disease, Quisenberry reported the development in six years of four durum wheat vari eties resistant to stem rust. This he called "a truly remark able accomplishment, probably un matched in plant breeding. This particular type of stem rust, designated as 15-B, struck in 1950. Agricultural researchers rushed into the fight against it. Cooperative nurseries were set up in several Latin American countries. Seed was planted from the experiment stations of Canada and Mexico. By growing two crops annually one in the north and the other in the south the four rust resistant varieties were developed. By 1954, 234 pounds of seed was planted on FRED KNUTSEN . , . guest speaker Fred A.
