So many he told’ And all ones
that 1 should like to share with
you. About the man who wanted
to own a mountain, and a story
of the Peace Rose, and the lad
ies garden clubs in Costa Rica!
But first of the man himself,
and his opinion of the Brookingc-
Ilarbor area. Mr. and M s J. G
Bacher of Portland, proprietors
of t he Swiss Floral Co., were
lecent visitors here» and it was
my good fortune to be invited to
a viewing of some of his koda-
chrome slides.
Mr. Bacher has been awarded ।
the Johnny Appleseed order for
his horticultural achievements
This is the highest award of its'
kind in Oregon. He has traveled
extensively in Europe, Central
America, Canada and our own
country. He is the owner of the
greatest collection of garden and
plant pictures known today, and
is in much demand as a lecturer
by garden clubs and horticultural
societies.
