A RARITY is this all-white wild rhododendron displayed by Mrs. Frederick Porter, who is
herself a well-known grower of the hybrid species of the showy shrub. Brought into The
News-Roview by Mr. and Mrs. George Dewey of Rosoburg, the unusual specimen was
found Monday of this week near Signal Tree Lookout in the coast range neor Camas
Valley. Finder was Mrs. Dewey's brother, Carl Becker of Melrose, who is logging in the
area. Two bushes of the spectacular snowy-white blooms were found among literally
acres of the more common pink ones native to the high country. Becker says in all his
years in the woods, both in logging and with the Forest Service, this is the first time
he has run across a wild white rhododendron. Mrs. Porter advances the theory that seed
for the shrubs may have been carried to the area by birds from a city garden, (News

Practically all herbs are easy to

Attract Birds
Attractive birds which ran be
lured to your garden by planting
the flowers they enjoy most are
th humming birds. These gor
geous creatures have long bills
and also long tongues, so are
particularly adapted to feeding
from tube-shaped flowers.
Thty Lika Had
In addition, red seems to be
the bumming birds' favorite col
or, so that any red, tubular
shnned flower is likely to be vis
ited in search of nectar and
Kinatl insects.
Thus petunias, hollyhocks, four
o'clocks, spider flowers, colum
bines, foxgloves, flowering
tobacco, sweet william and snap
dragons are flowers you can
grow to attract humming birds.
Salvias, penstemons and morn

easily from seeds.

The desirable red color is pres

even if onlv in certain varieties
Thus Aztec, Fire Dance, Ked

of petunias with red flowers. A
morning glory called Cornell also
has red blooms.

your garden a beautiful picture.
