President Portland Rose Society.
1 ortl.'ind s greatest opportunity to
win new laurels as the world's cente
- of rose culture Is In the hands of the
Portland Rose society, which, with
the aid of the citizens of Portland, is
plannin? this year to exhibit the
finest roses crown in artistic booths
in the largest open-air display of the
Kind ever attempted.
w nen n was discovered tnat an
outside location for the 1920 rose
Mow would be necessary, owing to
the fact that all buildings suitable
and large enough for the purpose
navo already been engaged for Shrine
convention purposes, plans for hold
ing an outside show were made ac
enrdingly by the rose society, and
. ., Madison street botween West Tark
. and Tenth was belected.
Blooms Displayed In Hooths.
Along this street attractive booths
will be erected where the blooms will
be displayed in baskets and vases and
great bouquets, as in the indoor
shows of the past. An artistic roof
will be erected running the length of
the display booths to form shelter
from rain. The large trees nlong the
street at that point, as well as the
I-idd school building, will afford
shade from the sun. The location is
secluded, with little wind, and with
arrangements thus made for protec
tion from rain and sun as fine a show
is anticipated, from the standpoint of
display facilities as could be secured
Indoors.
The smooth pavement can be
washed frequently, and water for
quenching the thirst of the blooms
can be secured from hydrants on the
outside wall of the Ladd school. Nat
ural drainage is provided down the
gutters of the street to the east end
of the rose show location into catch
basins. The booths will be arranged
along each side of the street in the I
form of the letter "U" and seats will
be placed in the center for the com
fort of visitors. Every detail will be
taken care of by the exhibit com
mittee. Under a new regulation adopted
this year, only members of the so-
ciety are permitted to exhibit and
compete for prizes. A membership
. campaign is now on, however, and
with a greatly increased membership
over last year no decline in the num
ber of entries is anticipated. First
prizes will be silver cups and trophies
donated by public-spirited citizens
and merchants, second prizes will be
suitable trophies purchased and do
nated by the society. The value f
tiie combined prizes for the different
.. classifications will be in excess of
District Displays Arranged.
A feature which it is expected will
prove particularly interesting is the
district displays. The various sec
l tions of the city will be asked to en
ter displays of roses, for which cash
prizes will be offered. This lias been
done on several past occasions with
great success. Room in the booths
facing the sidewalk will be made for
12 such displays, while the entries for
separate competition under the usual
classifications will be accommodated
In the booths facing the street.
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday,
June 21. 22 and 2-1, have been fixed as
the date for the show this year. While
this is ten days later than the usual
time these dates wore selected In
order that Portland might be able to
show Its roses to the greatest number
of eastern visitors. The first two
days of the week were chosen, both
for the benefit of the many thousands
of Shrine visitors and in order to
give rose society members ample op
portunity on Sunday to select from
their gardens the choicest roses and
prepare them for entry early Monday
morning. The roses must be in po
sition by 10 o'clock Monday morning
end awards of prizes will be made by
tlie judges between 10 and 12 o'clock.
lietween 12:30 and 1:30 P. M. Mon
day the imperial officers of the
Shripe and their ladies, with the
members of the Portland Rose society
as escort will have a private view.
At 1:30 o'clock the show will be
thrown open to the general public,
remaining open afternoons and evenL
ings on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. New roses will 1 j
brought to the show daily and ar
ranged in artistic manner.
I-'Ine Lighting Effect Promised.
The committee making the ar
rangement for the open air display
Is C. P. Keyser. park superintendent;
Jesse A. Currey, Pacific coast repre
sentative of the American Rose so
ciety, and H. J. Blaesing, president of
the Portland Rose society. They are
making their plans to conform and
work in harmony with the rose festi
val plans, and thus form a part of the
festival center, which extends from
Salmon to Columbia streets on South
Parkway. A flagpole surrounded by
floral display is to form the center
piece with fcstoonB of colored lights
and evergreens, which will give a
fine lighting effect. Colored lights
will also be arranged under the
shelter roofs to throw the desired
colors on roses. At Tenth street
there will be a balcony band stand
above display booths. At -the West
Park street entrance a fountain with
waterfalls and a low rustic bridge
will form the main entrance from the
festival center to the rose show. A
lily pond surrounded by ferns in
rustic formation will give the foun-
tain and falls the desired effect.
Keen interest is being manifested by
the district displays committees, as
each booth wiil be arranged by sep
arate committees who will work out
their own original decorative schemes
to show their roses to the best pos
sible advantage with reflections and
colored lights.
The musical programme will be ar
ranged by a joint committee from the
Shrine. Rose Festival board and the
Rose society. Music and roses har
monize; both attract the mind to
higher and nobler thoughts, one ap
pealing to the ear and the other to
the eye.
Portland's prestige and fame as the
Rose city must be increased. As most
eastern visitors will arrive on Monday-
and will be directed by hotel
clerks to the rose show, the impres
sion they receive will linger in their
minds and make them wish to live
among such surroundings as only
Portland soil, climatu and water can
offer. Portland rose growers must
make a supreme effort to show the
finest roses this yeir. end must re
plenish their rose carriers and re
place some of the old roses and the

gardens and it is not too late now to
plant two and three-year-old bushes,
which will produce prize blooms this
ear.
Kvery Kxhiltltor Has Chance.
The classification will be so ar
ranged as to give even the exhibitor
of only one bloom a chance to cap
ture a prize. Annual dues of members
are $2, which carries with it affiliate
membership in the American Rose
society, and a copy of the American
Rose Annual, a book full of interest
and knowledge to rose growers
mailed without charge.
The message taken home by the
visitors will make an appeal, and
create a desire in many who have
never seen or heard .of Portland, to
come here, and thus form an endless
chain of tourists and home seekers,
who will help build a larger and bet

FREE ITER IS PROMISED
CITY WILL AGAIN ENCOURAGE
VACANT LOT GARDENS.
Be
Application for Privilege May
Filed as Soon as Season for
Sprinkling Opens.
Portland residents who desire to
grow additional supplies of garden
vegetables on the vacant lots next
door to their homes will again have
the advantage of free water for the
vacant property during certain hours
of the day, according to the an
nouncement of John M. Mann, com
missioner of public utilities. The plan
has been worked with great success
for the past two seasons and it is
expected a large number will again
take advantage of the city's offer.
Last year 17,000 permits for free
water were taken out, and it is esti
mated that this represented fully
20,000 vacant lots, as many of those
securing permits cultivated vacant
lots on both sides of them. Figuring
the average vacant lot so utilized to
be 50 by 100 feet, the total area thus
cultivated with the aid of free city
water last year probably exceeded
2250 acres.
Under the regulations the water
rent must be paid for the lot upon
which one resides, but for the vacant
lots next door the water may be se
cured free upon application. Permits
for the free water may be taken out
and the water used as soon as the
sprinkling season starts, which is
usually about the middle of May.
As In' the past, hours for the use
of the water will be established, in
order that the system may not be
taxed at certain times of the day,
particularly In the early evening
when the load is at its peak. La
season the use of the free water was
limited to the morning hours, and this
may again rule this year. As soon
as the sprinkling season begins ap
plications for the use of free water
mav be taken out at tne water omce
on the first floor of the city hall.

more than four million dollars over
last year. The butter production of
10,500.000 pounds alone is worth over
5,500,000.

BY INEZ GAGE CHAPEL.
OCATED in or near the city of
rtland are five different seed
companies, who have been grow
ing vegetables and doing business
here for years. It Is their business
to experiment with all "kinds and
varieties of plants and to decide
which do the best here and which in
other locations, and for what purpose
each variety is best suited for home
gardens, for the market, for the can
neries or for shipping.
These five gardeners each most
kindly made out for me a carefully
considered list of the very best vari
eties of each vegetable to be planted
in home gardens in Portland and
vicinity by amateur home gardeners.
1 took these five lists and com
bined them with great care as votes
are combined, and the resulting list
of recommendations is given below.
From no other source can Portland
gardeners get such absolutely au
thoritative advice, and I feel great
pride and satisfaction in being able
to present the list to you.
Do not plant some old eastern
favorites without looking at this list
to see if they are adapted to this
climate. Many varieties must be ac
enmated, also, to do well here, so
western grown seed is best.

recommended and combined, the first

Notes Select the varieties you pre

general, buy small quantities of many
kinds of vegetables varietv rather
than quantity, except in the staples.

den, as elsewhere.
Sun, Cultivation and Water Arc
Essentials if Amateur Would
Rave Fine Display.
Gladioli as perfect in form and
color as those which grace and almost
monopolize the florists' windows In
mid-summer can be grown in the
amateur's garden as easily as onions,
a surprising fact to many folks un
familiar with the extremely accora
modating flower.
"They don't look a bit like those.
mother used to have," said a lady
visiting a Portland friend possessed
of a modest collection of the newer
varieties. Nor did they, for the
greatestlmprovement in gladioli has
been made within the past ten years.
The little magenta nondescripts of
other days would not recognize their
progeny so gorgeously clothed in
pink and crimson, white and yellow,
blue and orange.
Modern gardens are not merely
collections of plants chosen at ran
dom, but reflect the individuality and
color preferences of their owners, and
much care is devoted to achieving
harmonious schemes. For each gar
den harmony there is a "glad" that
fits.
In pink they are: America of deli
cate tint, Panama of deeper shade.
Rouge Torch with creamy blush
petals and crimson tongued throat.
an equisite coral flower enhanced by
a deeper blotch, Mrs. Pendleton com
bining pink and velvety crimson all
these and many others are at your
service.
White flowers: Stately Teace with
Its lilac feathered throat, or Bertrex
with waxy petals are widely known
favorites.
In unusual shades: Herada is a
glistening mauve. Louise a clear lav
ender of recent Introduction, and
Golden West an orange as gay aa any
tiger lily.
Rarer shades of blue and yellow:
Srhwabenis a creamy yellow of great
size. Blue Jay a fitting companion.
Red and crimson and variegated
shades: War flaunts a glowing crim
son, Ida Van wears a dress of cherry
red, Mrs. Fryer displays a clear pure
color that will delight you, while
Principine is a veritable garden
flame, the barbaric Prince of India
displays a blending of ashes of roses,
smoke gray and dull blue, and Mrs.
Cothran gives a first impression of
rich mahogany.
All this beauty springs from plump
brown bulbs which should be planted
right now, and at two-week Intervals
up to June 1. if you want a mid
summer garden that will arrest
passers-by with its . attractiveness,
and give yourself increasing enjoy
ment with the unfolding of each new
flower.
Sun is the first requisite to success.
Cultivation and water mean big exhi
bition flowers. Plant the bulbs five
6r six Inehess deep and the nome
spikes will seldom need support be
yond their own strength.
Smelting Plant Desired.
VANCOUVER. B. C. A movement is
on foot to encourage the smelting und
refining of ores produced In British
Columbia within the province. A com
pany will be promoted, capitalized at
il0,000.000, to erect smelters for treat
ing copper, silver, lead, and zinc ores;
producing the refined metals for the
market: and the establishment of a
commercial Iron and sieei piain.

Clay Soap to Be Tried.
LONDON. Extensive experiments
have been made in this country to as
certain whether clay can be used in
the manufacture of soap. Results soon
will be announced. The idea is to sub
stitute colloidal clay for the fatty
acids now derived from animal and
vegetable sources. If this prove com
mercially successful. It is claimed it
would effect a great reduction in the
cost of manufacture.
