8 The Newt-Review, Roieburg,
Winter Months Said Best Time To
In Oregon it Is generally con
ceded that winter months are the
best months to transplant trues
and shrubs. Fruit and flowering
trees, roses and flowering shrubs
are all available in stores now.
Fall and early spring are the
usual seasons since these are the
times when trees and shrubs are
dormant and will receive less in
jury from the shock of being dug
up and moved to another location.
Spring planting is advisable in
sections where winters are very
cold, or dry and windy and in mild
climates where flowering dogwood,
magnolias, holly, and firelhorn re
spond best to being moved at this
time.
But throughout most of the coun
try, the fall season offers more
advantages that are becoming
generally recognized. Plants such
: as the rose, lilac and barberry and
other deciduous trees can be moved
soon after their leaves fall. In most
places the soil will remain in a
good condition for several more
weeks, giving the roots ample
time to start growth.

Almost All Spring Flowers
Will Bloom Early Indoors
Almost any of the spring-flowering
bulbs may, with special treat
ment, ba brought Into early bloom
indoors.
: The rules are fairly simple but
1 must be followed explicitly. Given
sufficient opportunity to form roots
while they are stored in their pots
or pans in a dark, cool place, the
bulbs of tulips, hyacinths, daffo
dils, and other springtime flowers
will provide a gay succession of
flowers in the house while the out
door garden is still covered with
now. The methods of handling
them are outlined below.
Soil and receptacles. Spring
bulbs intended for house culture or
for forcing in greenhouse may be
potted as soon as they are received
in the fall. Any fairly good soil
will serve for forcing bulbs, though
one may look for better results if
a rich loamy soil is used
If the bulbs are intended for
decorative purposed at home they
should be grown in pots or bulb
pans. The size ot pot chosen is
decided by the size of the bulb and
the number to be planted in each
pot or pan. Tulips may be grown
individually in three-or four-inch
pots, but a better appearance is
obtained if six bulbs are planted
in a six-inch bulb pan. Hyacinths
are commonly grown as single
specimens in four or five-inch pots,
depending on the size of the bulb.
They are also quite satisfactory
when from six to 12 bulbs are
planted in bulb pans from six to
nine-inches in diameter. Daffodils
look bettor when several are plant
ed together than when grown as
ingle specimens.
Potting the bulbs. When potting
the bulbs, place a piece of broken
pot over the drainage hole in the
bottom of the pot or pan and fol
low with one-half inch of coarse
ashes to aid the drainage. Then
add a handful or two of soil and
pack down lightly. Rest the base of
the bulb on this and (if necessary)
add sufficient soil to bring the tip
of the bulb one inch below the
rim of the pot. Put in more siil
and press it down firmly, filling to
within one-half inch of the rim. If
the soil beneath the bulb is packed
-too firmly and the soil above is
left loose, the chances are that the
roots, as they grow, will lift the
bulb out ot the pot.
Treatment after planting. ' As
suming that the bulbs contain em
bryo flowers and have not been
injured by overheating, the treat
ment given between planting and
blooming time determines whether
they will be a success or a failure.
All hardy bulbs intended for forc
ing require a period of from six
to 10 weeks of low temperature
(40 to 50 degrees) in order that
they may develop a good root sys
tem before there is any appreciable
top growth.
Tim allowed for rooting. Some
bulbs, such as Roman hyacinths
and early tulips, will have formed
sufficient roots in six weeks. At
that stage they can be brought in
doors for forcing but it is safer
to allow at least eight weeks be
fore bringing the other kinds of
plants indoors. If a succession of
bloom is desired, take in a few pots
at a time. Do not bring them di
rectly in from outside, for this is
almost sure to make them "blast"
their buds. Give them a tempera
ture of 50 degrees In a light room
for a few weeks until the Tower
stems are developed, then bring
them into a room in which a tem
perature of 65 degrees is maintain

lature is not in session.
Former Sen. Dan Dimlck, D
Roseburg, said the committee did
act on both, but apparently did
not notify the secretary of state's
office. He was the committee's
chairman.
The committee at first rejected
the appointment of Lemon then
later approved it. Neither the re
jection nor the approval was re
corded with the secretary of state.
The law states that appointees
serve pending rejection by the
committee. Since no action was
recorded none was official and the
status of neither was affected.
