Here rome the harbingers of
spring! Gaudy with color and
bright with promise, the new seed
catalogs arrive with every mail.
This year our flowers shall be
gayer, our vegetables excel in
flavor.
A garden catalog is an adven
ture. so embark upon it with a
merry heart. Just don’t over-do
the ordering. Remember, you
have a back and it can ache!
Remember, too, the limited gar
den space and limited capacity
for eating.
There are some new’ vegetable
seeds, and with food prices
mounting and war seemingly im
minent, the thrifty will plant for
the future.
Stokes Cross tomatoes, No. 2
and No. 4 are developed for cool

other warm weather varieties
fail. It is a mid-season tomato

lochief corn, a gold medal win
ner, has the same maturing time

In the world of flowers, no
new rose was judged as measur
ing up to All-America Rose se-
lection standards. I his is the first
time in ten years there has not
been a winner. Here in Chetco
Valley, the peace rose has won
its way into our hearts. The peace
rose, propagated in France, was
named by the grower for his
wife, Madame Meiland. When in
troduced into this county, it v’as
renamed the Peace Rose. Mon
sieur Meiland was so affronted
by this disregard of his prerog
ative, that he will not introduce
his new’ improved hybrid of the
Peace Rose here. We shall have
to obtain it from Canada.
There are only two 1951 All
America flow’er selections. Those
winners are Tutonia Torch, and
Marigold Glitters.
Don’t forget your old friends
when carried away by the siren
song of the seed catalogs. Re
member t he faithful blooming
plants whose worth was proven
by experience. Add some grey
pia nts. Here at Weedy Acres,
especially fond of Dust
Miller, the grey foliage is de-
lightful with calundulas, but it is
lovely as a background for any
Howers.
