THE PRINT
NEEDS YOU .
Philodendron, horsehead,
splitleaf, begonia and plenty of
soil beneath the fingernails
comprise the environment of
nearly every horticulturalist.
Some like to speak of their
plants while surrounded by the
fertile smell of a greenhouse,
while others would much
rather sing the praises of root
and leaf under dismal Oregon
clouds.
Bob Munly, student in Or
namental Horticulture Prac-
ticum class, has just received a
plot of plants to take care of in
the greenhouse. A retiree,
Munly calls planting “just plain
fun.”
“I’m learning how to do
things that plants appreciate,
and hope that they will do well
as a result,” Munly said.
Currently, some of the
students are getting ready to
M.D./D.V.M. In European
Medical & Veterinary Schools
