Warmth Needed Of the 12 to 14 species, all trop ical American and belonging to the (Araceae) family, they are tuber ous rooted and are at home in trepical rain-forests. They need heat, moisture and rich soil. They like temperatures of 75 to 85 de grees and even warmer. So if you plan to plant some outside, wait till its nice and warm. If your planting space is limited, grow caladiums, gay with color and oest resistant. The leaves out shine most flowers, and though patterns vary, the pinks, reds and ahades of green are most beauti ful to see.

For summer bedding, for which they are very popular, start the tubers in flats in peat moss, cover ing them about 1 Inch deep. Keep the peat moist and maintain a greenhouse temperature between 75 and 85 degrees. When the tu bers have rooted, remove and pot up each, depending on its size, in a pot only just large enough. When they have started good growth they should be shifted to larger pots but kept relatively pot-bound. Give caladiums a loose rich soil that drains well. a mixture ot sand, peat moss and good garden loam with bone meal and dairy manure or processed decomposed manure added. With this mix ture, fleshy roots will fill the pots and these roots will nourish an amazing succession of leaves. Plants should also be fed with li quid manure every two weeks.

Editor's Not: Runtll B. Rum ml, Roseburg resident, contrib utes tho following detailed article on the growing of Bonsai, e hobby he has pursued for the past two yoars. By RUSSELL B. RUMMEL The art of growing Bonsai is be lieved to have started in Japan during the late 16th century and by 1868 had become quite weu established. And, until the turn of the century, had never been seen outside of Japan. Word Expiainaa What is a Bonsai? The word is written with characters meaning "tray," or "pot," or "to plant." For many years Bonsai growing had been considered a mysterious culture and many people thought that the Japanese used secret chemicals and such, to dwarf these trees and plants, some of which are known to be over 500 years old. Some have been sold for aS high as 17,000. Todav. Bonsai trees or various ages can be ' purchased in many nurseries and florists in the United States, but the fun is in creating such a tree yourself. Although this takes patience and time, it is not difficult. I could eo on for hours aDout details in raising special types of trees from seeds or cuttings, but most of us do not have the pa tience to wait three or four years for a seedling to become large enough to show any promise. So, I will try to give you suggestions for raising Bonsai in a much quick er way. I buv small trees trom 3 to u inches from the various local nur series and garden stores, aiways looking for some that have grace ful bends and shapes or possibili ties for such. I have also found some stunted trees in the forests that also turn out to be nice Bon- There are some 350 species of trees, bushes, and even grasses, that can be made into Bonsai. However, the most popular are the junipers, pines, spruce, cedars, azaleas, camellias, and even weep ing willows. All of these can De nurehased as seedlings from the local dealers who also have for sale the Japanese imported Bon sai pots. - . . Potting Times Tom There are various times of the vcar when the little tree or plant can be potted. The best time for the evergreens is at the Beginning of the growing season when the new buds staqt to show, and for the decidious trees and plants, just before the new growth starts. Both of these types can also be potted late in the summer before the sec ond short growing season starts. Al though many Bonsai growers do not believe in potting trees in the winter. I have had very good suc cess during that period, probably due to the mild climate here in Roseburg. i Perhaps by now you are high ly enthusiastic about Bonsai grow ing and you will want to rusn right out and start one. You can do just that! Although some of the plants in the nurseries 'are well along in their new growtn if they are handled with care, they can still be done for probably an other 30 days. So, let's make a Bonsai: We buy a small tree, prob ably in a gallon can, and a Japan ese pot for it. This can will have, approximately, 6 inches of soil in it and this will probably be a solid mass of hair roots. The pot we purchase for this size tree will have to be about 10 inches long, six inches wide and 2 inches deep. I You will note that this pot has drainage holes which, for some un known reason, are very large, and will have to be partially covered with pieces of broken flower pot or flat pebbles. Copper Wire Used ' Keeping in mind the fact that this little tree will be deprived of most of it's root structure and will have to be held in its pot by wires, and also will be trained and shaped by these same wires, we will then cut a piece of copper wire approximately 30 inches long. I prefer electrician's solid copper wire no. 14, which 1 purchase lo cally, and then I peel the plastic cover from it. This wire is first pushed up through the holes of the pot so that each protruding piece is straight up about 1 foot. I then cover the holes partially with the broken flower pot piecea. This pot with its extended wires is now ready. We now turn to our plant and carefully remove it from the can (your dealer has tools that will split the can for you). We now have a cylindrical mass of soil and roots about 6 inches deep. We now begin to comb, from the bottom, with a sharp stick or old fork, to remove the dirt from the mass of roots and we keep moving up wards until we have left only about 2V4 inches of soil at the top. If we find that there are one or two heavy tap roots we trim these back, with a sharp cutter, about 1 inch and will later spread them to the sides aa we plant the tree. However, if we find merely a mass of fine roots, we trim them off so that only about Vi inch is left protruding from the bottom of the remaining soil. We now will spread a little soil in the bottom of the pot aud set our tree in it. (In the oblong pots set the tree about ,K of the distance from one end, and in the case of square or round pots, set it a little closer to the center, but never right on center). We now bring the two wires over the ball of soil and bend them in so that they reach the trunk base. This will lock the tree into the pot. We now fill the rest of the pot with our soil mixture, grad ually' working the soil down around the exposed roots and keep ing the soil reasonably wet. You will note that you have put a 2'4 inch deep ball of soil into a 2 inch pot and that the top of this soil at the base of the tree is higher than the top edges of the pot. This is the proper way to plant the tree then the remaining nil sou is brought up to a point just slightly under the edge of the pot, and then sloped up to the base of the tree. Shaping Is Next We now come to the shaping and bending of the tree. Our two wires PRESCRIPTION DRUG STORES i I Pay Less Drag Will Be mm SUNDAY Easter Greetings From The Management And Staff C. Valley Is First With Spring Show Highway 42 to Camaa Valley will no doubt see a mass trek of garden enthusiasts to the spring flower show, "Spring Fantaay," to be staged next Thursday by the Camas Valley Garden CUub. It wilt be the first major flower show of the season in the local area. With this effort, the club Is en tering competition for a national award, the Purple Rosette, for a standard show given by one club. The show complies with rules for a standard, show, club spokesmen state, special events, to be held in connection with the show include a sale of spring plants and a "tea table" which will be the base for refreshments during show hours. Entries will be accepted from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. the day of the show and hours for public viewing are set from 1 to t p.m. ino admission will be charged. Those still in need of informa tion regarding entries may call Mrs. Wayman Schmidt, president of the club, or Mrs. Ted Wiley. overall chairman of the show. The flower show committee will fur nish containers for entries in the horticultural division. Entries in all divisions are expected from a wide area, Mrs. Schmidt said. that protrude from the ground are then carefully wrapped in a spiral around the trunk with the loops about V inch apart and if we wish to bend this trunk we will bend it slightly as we gradually wind the wires. Please keep in mind that some plants might have three or four branches that we wish to shape with wire, in which case we will add a wire for each branch. We wrap the wire up the trunk and out the branches and bend them in the shape desired. This wire must be left on the tree for three to six months but never long enough to injure the bark. If, in that period, the tree has not grown to the proper shape the wires should be carefully removed and new ones put on. We then will nip off any unwanted branch es or shoots. This newly potted tree should be kept in reasonable shade for several weeks and wa tered daily. Keep in mind that this is an outdoor plant and although it can be taken into the house for short periods of time it should, mainly, be left outside where it can get sun and rain. These plants should be protected from hot sun and wind in summer and buried in. the ground up to the level of the top of the pot in winter. You will feed them just as you would your regular plants or trees, with your favorite plant foods in ratio to their size. There are several other small items that add to the beauty of these plants such as, putting a colored rock or small oriental fig ure under the tree, and, also, cov ering the full surface of the soil with blanket of small moss. This latter is also a good protection from heavy rain aa it will prevent the dirt from being washed out. Depending on the type of tree, you will plan to repot every two years in case of deciduous trees, and every five years In ease of conifers. You merely remove the plant from the pot, cut off Vi of all soil and roots from the sides and bottom, add new soil, and re plant. Good luckl rife Plantings Are Needed For Song Bird Survival With housing, highways and oth er developments gobbling more and more land, there is a tremend ously growing need for plantings which aid songbirds, especially, to survive, according to the Ameri can Association i.of Nurserymen. i ollowing are some of the trees and shrubs that provide seeds and fruits for wild life: cedars, yews, junipers, ashes, alders, birches, mulberry, cherry, flowering crab applea, bayberry, honeysuckle, dogwood, hawthorns, hollies, moun tain ash, and many others. Natural foods are highly neces sary to supplement suets and oth er fats often set out by home own ers in the winter months. PRIVACY CREATED Garden privacy for family out door living can be created by new additions to house or garage, lot boundary trees, shrubs, walls or fences, patio walls, fences or ter races or inter-area hedges, walls or metal fences with hardy ever green vines. FOOD MART OPEN EASTER Sunday BONSAI TREES, grown by Russell B. Rummel, 222 W. Hazel,. are shown here displayed on the backyard porio of the Rummel home. The tiniest one, on upper shelf, is believe it or not, a Sequoia (redwood) that has been growing in its miniature container for some time. Like the others, it has been wired to grow in a desired direction. Other evergreens shown have had the some treatment and are beginning to reveal their intended shape, Rummell has been pursuing this hobby for the past two years. (News-Review Photo) PRUNING NEEDED Pruning most trees require pe riodical pruning in order to keep their shape. Dead limbs and branches also need to be removed. Small trees that can be reached by standing on the ground, or pos sibly on a stepladder, may be prunded safely by the home owner. Pruning of large trees is danger ous, however, and is not recom mended. Call in a local tree expert.
