PORTLAND'S FIRST
BY A. GARDEN GROWER.
ACCORDING to letters received
and the reports In the news
papers of California the float
which the Portland Rose Festival as
sociation entered in the tournament
of roses at Pasadena on New Year's
day astonished ail who saw it with
the lavishness displayed in the use of
roses in decorating. The Portland
entry won the highest honors, cap
turing first prize for the best float
-and a special prize for the finest en
try from a distance. It was the one
big float in the parade which featured
roses,' and as the tournament was
supposed to be for roses, the Portland
entry scored the highest in this re
spect. There were a number of floats
which were larger and had more
flowers on them in the way of vio
lets, chrysanthemums and marigolds,
but they were all designed with the
idea of extolling the advantages of
the climat of southern California or
some of the products of that section,
therefore were limited from the ar
tistic point, while the Portland en
try was designed only with the idea
of bringing out the rose idea, there
fore the decorators had the widest
range to display their ar'.istic ability,
' and they did this not only with roses
but also with holly and Oregon grape
shipped in from Portland in large
quantities.
Frank C. Rlggs, a member of the
Royal Hosarians, who happened to
be in Pasadena on the day of the
tournament, writing about the event.
Bald: "All Portlanders down here are
proud of the showing our city made.
While the parade was only about
one-third as large as our own Rose
Festival parade, there were a num
ber of fine floats and Portland won
the first prize on merit entirely.
Never before has Pasadena ever seen
such a display of roses and the people
along the street could hardly believe
they were real Portland roses. A
number of the other floats were more
gorgeous and had many more flowers
than did the Portland entry, but they
were stiff and unnatural, lacking the
artistic touch that our own float had.
Taken as a whole it was a great tri
umph and certainly one of the best
pieces of advertising ever sent out
from Portland.
More Perfect Roars Never Seen.
The Los Angeles Times said of the
Portland entry: "More perfect roses
were never seen In a parade than the
magnificent display of the Portland
entry. Bursting forth from a gigantic
Venetian vase standing 8 feet high,
the tribute of the day to Pasadena
was told in ropes. The float was sim
ple in design, but artistic to the finest
detail. The vase rose from a bower
of English holly, the spear-pointed
leaves and red berries glistening as
with a high polish. Set at the four
corners and balancing the vase In ar
tistic symmetry stood bronze cupids
holding bowls of roses and at the cor
ners of the float large bouquets of
roses completed the unison of color.
The body of the float was hung with
Oregon grape and clusters of holly
canopied the driver and forward part
of the float."
Eric V, Mauser, president of the
Portland Rose Festival association,
viewed the float from among the
crowd and did not make himself
known to the decorators, and his com
ment on the victory of winning the
big prise was: "We showed them Port
land roses."
The float was made possible by the
public-spirited action of a number of
merchants, civic clubs and the Cham
ber of Commerce. A committee of the
Rose Festival association composed
of Clay S. Morse, James Forbes, H. W.
Kent and W. P. Merry secured a fund
of about J 1000. The general scheme
of the float was laid out by James
Forbes and Albert Clarke to feature
Portland roses, with a background of
holly and grape, and they secured the
services of 11. Reeve Darling, a Los
Angeles florist, to work up the details
and execute the float.
Hill's New Hose America.
E. G. Hill, the veteran rose producer
of Richmond, Ind., has announced that
bjs new rose America, of which there
has been much comment In the flor
ists' papers, probably will be distrib
uted next year and great tilings are
predicted for it. The florists who
place much faith in Mr. Hill's produc
tions and who have seen America say
that it is better than Columbia, Pre
mier or Ophelia for indoor growing.
Mr. Hill, in a letter to me, says: "I
like America very much and think you
will. 1 have no secrets in my breed
ing like most of the English growers,
therefore America comes from Amer
ican Beauty and Premier: that is its
real parentage and if you will look at
the wood it resembles American
Heauty, except that it will produce a
dosen flowers where American Beauty
will produce one. I think it gets its
long growth from American Beauty.
The variety in color is a pink be
tween Columbia and' Ophelia and I
leave you to picture how delightful it
Is. I hope it will do well in your
wonderful rose climate and I think it
should, for you will recall several
years ago when I visited your test
gardens I did not recognize my own
Premier, because it was so much finer
than I ever saw it, and as America has
Premier blood in it I have hopes that,
while I am always working for in
door roses, this one will prove good
for outdoors in Portland."
Rose PllsrlmniEe I'oatponed.
The contemplated rose pilgrimage
of the American Rose society to the
Pacific northwest with the Portland
Rose Festival in June as the ob

year, due to the feet that so many
conventions will be held on the Pa
cific coaBt this coming June that sat
isfactory equipment for the large
party could not be obtained. Another
reason for making the postponement
was due to the fact that a number of
English and French growers want to
join the pilgrimage and they could
not do so this year. The board of di
rectors of the American Rose society
met last Monday in New York, at
which were read the Invitations from
Mayor Baker, the Royal Rosarlans
and the Portland Rose society. The
committee in charge of the excursion
reported that during the early part
of June the Shrine convention would
be in San Francisco, the International
Rotary Clubs in Los Angeles, the
Bankers' Institute in Portland and
the crowd traveling and visiting the
national parks at that time would be
so great that the rose pilgrims could
probably not get the kind of accom
modations they desired. Next year
the S'irlne convention will be in the
east, and it was felt that more per
sons would make the pilgrimage if
delayed, therefore the committee was
continued with instructions to make
arrangements for June, 1923.
To Destroy Immigrant Popples.
The department of agriculture is
faced with the ta.sk of destroying the
Flanders poppies which last spring
sprung up apparently self-sown on
the presumably "sterile" soli brought
in steamers as ballast from Europe
and dumped as filling material near
Kearney, N. J. When these poppies
appeared last year some persons
greeted them as a touching symbol
of the close relationship between
France and America, but before the
year was over the menace became so
great that they would become a pest
to agriculture and floriculture in that
section and probably spread to other
parts of the country that the depart
ment of agriculture was appealed to,
and it has ordered the dump heaps
plowed and harrowed so as to pre
vent the appearance of any of the
popples. Harry B. Shaw, a path
ologist of the New York office of the
federal horticultural board, says that
he made a survey of the Kearney sit
uation when the possible danger of
the ballast soil as a carrier of Insects
and plant disease was called to the
attention of the board. He was sat
isfied at that time that the dumpings
were mainly composed of innocuous
sand, slag and cinders. The poppy
seeds, he assumes, were either blown
or carried by birds from fertile fields
onto the material while still In
France. At that time the poppy was
regarded solely from a sentimental
standpoint and no one In this country
was giving much attention to it as a
weed menace, but after a year it has
showed real danger and the depart
ment has condemned it to execu
tion and extermination root, stock,
branch, blossom and seed.
A New Garden Label.
The need of a permanent label for
garden use that la oheap, conspicu
ous and unbreakable has long been
sought. Any number of metal labels
have been Introduced, but none of
them have attained universal use. The
latest label and which seems to have
much merit has been introduced by
an English concern. It is triangular
In shape, much longer than it is in
width, the long point serving to enter
the ground, or it may be reversed
and used as a hanging label for trees.
It is claimed that the shape of the
label prevents it being knocked out
of the ground. The names of the
varieties it marks are painted on it
Just as the names in many places are
painted on wooden stakes. Here in
Portland Park Superintendent Keyser
is working on a new kind of label.
The park bureau has purchased an
embossing machine and the name of
the plant or shrub is embossed on a
narrow strip of aluminum, and he Is
now experimenting with having these
embossed strips brazed or attaohed to
iron stakes, which will be rot proof
and can be so driven Into the ground
that they cannot be knocked over or
pulled out without a great effort.
Peter Kerr's Garden.
If anyone doubts about Portland
having fine gardens. I wish they
could visit the home of Peter Kerr at
Rivera, for his garden shows the ef
fect of careful planting and personal
supervision of the owner. It carries
to every part of It individuality, and
Mr. and Mrs. Kerr, who are great
lovers of flowers, exhibit their taste
in their wonderful garden. The new
rock garden is about completed, apd
this summer I feel It will make a
wonderful picture. The collection of
spring flowers at the Kerr place I
believe Is about the largest In Port
land. In 1918 more than 10.000 crocuses
were planted In the lawn and many
thousands of daffodils and .tulips.
Last fall Mr-. Kerr added 9000 Dar
win. Cottage and Breeder tulips to
his collection, and I feel confident
that this spring he will have the
largest showing of tulips of anv pri
vate garden on the Pacific coast.
Novel W inter Baskets.
One of the large gasoline and oil
companies having filling stations In
Portland takes great rrlde in the or
namental plantings of shrubs anH
flowering plants around these sta
tions. They also during the summer
have them gaily decorated with hang
ing baskets which make a pretty ef
fect. At present this company is showing
the possibilities of winter hanging
baskets by taking the wire contain
ers and filling them with great balls
of evergreens in the way of fir and
cedar bough In. which art arrange!
ROSES AT PASADENA.
long spikes of some of the berry
bearing shrubs. The baskets make
quite a nice display and add much to
the appearance of a business estab
lishment. ' Place to Grow Lilies.
The Botanical garden at Brooklyn,
N. Y., last fall planted more than 2000
bulbs of llMes ajid they represented
18 different varieties. After a care
ful investigation it was determined
that a suitable place to plant these
bulbs would be In a large hedge of
azaleas, as the soil for the azaleas was
Just the kind needed for successful
lily culture. The lilies would also
provide blooms for this hedge fatter
the azaleas had disappeared.
This experience at Brooklyn will no
doubt prove of interest to gardeners
who are loathe to give up one big
section of the ordinary sized garden
to lilies, for now with proper soil
they can grow them among some of
their shrubbery.
Ancient SqnriMh Seed.
The question Is of;en asked of how
long are seeds good and the papers
have carried stories of seeds secured
from some of the tombs of Egypt ger
minating after centuries, but at Orilla,
Wash., something occurred which has
attracted much attention among plant
scientists. When Aaron Crowder set
tled in the Puget sound country in
1870 he brought with him from "lli
r.ols some Hubbard squash seeds.
These got mislaid and despite vigilant
search they were not found during
his lifetime. Last spring Mr. Crowder
died and in going through some old
papers his widow found the missing
package of seeds, where they had been
for 60 years and she recalled the
worrying incident after the arrival
in the new country. Out of curiosity
some of the seeds were soaked In
warm water and sowed, with the re
sult that three germinated and pro
duced a crop as if nothing had inter
fered with their natural functions.
It is a well-known fact that old
time gardeners used to carry for a
year or more cucumber and melon
seeds in their pockets and sow them,
but the plant scientists have not yet
figured out the 50 years -record of the
Crowder seeds. Some intimate that
newer seeds were mixed with the old
package, but those who witnessed the
experiment say such was not the case
and that the seeds were sown where
squash had never before been planted,
therefore the crop harvested could
not have been caused by volunteers
f-om a previous crop. However, no
one has yft denied that birds might
have carried seed from some other
place.
New Way to Gather Mistletoe.
Nearly all of the mistletoe sold In
New York. Philadelphia and Wash
ington during the Christmas holidays
comes from Mexico. One of the buy
ers for a larg New York concern who
has Just returned from Mexico, where
he had been superintending the gath'
ering of mistletoe, reports that the
Mexicans have a new way of gather
ing the greens so as to avoid the
rather hard work of climbing to the
topmost branches of the trees.
The average Mexican is loathe to
doing hard work and to avoid It In
gathering mistletoe he now takes his
rifle and shoots It off the trees.
A New Gladiolus.
E. H. Kunderd of Indiana, who has
procured many new gladioli, an
rounces that he will soon give to the
public a new variety which he re
gards with extreme favor. Mr.
Kundred says that the best of the
speoies come from South Africa, and
being fortunate in having a sister in
that country, last year she sent him
some new and almost unknown spe
cies. He had been working on this
new species and expects some won
derful results from It, as it has tail,
slender and graceful foliage and stem.
Mr. Kundred says the main ctem
carries upwards of 40 blossoms and
the four branches have more than 30
blossoms each, thus giving from one
flower spike about 176 Individual
flowers.
He Had a Good Reason.
The other day I was in a Morrison
street florist shop when a well-known
young man about town dropped in
and ordered a wonderful box of flow
ers sent to one of Portland's most
popular debutantes. The young man
was accompanied by a friend and
while the flowers were being selected
the friend said, "Bob why do you al
ways send Helen flowers?"
Bob looked at his friend and
promptly replied: "I am not going to
have her share my candy with you
and other guys."
Some Garden Notes.
A striking illustration of the pro
gresslveness of a large business cor
poration is the work that the Miami
Lumber company is doing at Grande
Ronde. The company has assumed the
burden of improving the civic center
and beautifying it, so that the people
of the hustling lumber town can en
Joy it. During the past week the
Miami Lumber company placed orders
for more than J1000 worth of trees
and shrubs and flowering plants with
Portland nurserymen and the civic
center of Grand Ronde before the
summer season is over can boast of
one of the finest plantings of any city
in the state.
Mrs. R. H. Lord of Salem has one
one the finest gardens in the entire
state and is constantly adding to her
collection. I heard during the week
that she will -increase her plantings
this season with a number of novelty
barberries and oriental spruce.
Amos Benson at his home on the
Willamette boulevard is planting a
number of conifers, and also puttlnx
in some of the newer evergreen orna
mentals. Dr. O. Miller Babbitt is improving
his garden at S29 Clifton street with
a large planting of rhododendrons and
a great number of azaleas, including
many of the native species.
H. A. Russell is putting in a big
planting of shrubbery at his new
place on the Hewitt boulevard which
will be featured with escollonia and
choisya ternata or Mexican orange.
This last named shrub is wonderfully
striking. Ten ox 12 years ago the
first one was planted in the garden
of W. B. Ayer and its light green
foliage and little flowers makes it a
decided feature.
C. A. Gates of HIHsboro Is putting
In a large rose garden and has added
a number of daphne to his planting
of shrubbery.
Problems of the Garden.
I have procured some ever-blooming
amaryllls sed from an eastern florist and
have four plants about a year and a ball
old. I wish to know how to treat them to
get them to bloom. They are In three-Inch
pota and the bulbs are now about as large
as small walnuts but do not carry mora
than three or four leaves at a time, the
outer on dying off as faat aa the ne
one cornea Small bulblets have formed
around the first one. Should these be re
moved and should the plants bave a rest
In summer? What temperature do they
need? I would also like sojne general in
structions about the care of amaryllts.
MRS. A. M. A RANT.
Monmouth, Or.
Answer In your letter you failed
to state the variety you have planted
and while I could' give . general in
structions about the care of amaryllts
I would like to know if you have the
Belladonna Major of the Apios Tu
berosa, which .is a climbing variety.
Personally I do not grow amaryllis
but the park bureau of Portland had
a number in their nursery and have
on their staff one man who is prob
ably the best amaryllis grower on
the Pacific coast. He states that if
he knows the variety he will be
pleased to give you the information
desired. I trust you will send me the
name of the variety.
Answer to J. M. C. I have your
letter regarding campanula lsophylla
alba and am glad to learn It is in a
Portland garden. It Is quite evident
that you read this department, there
fore will realize that other garden
growers read it and if you have any
of the plants of this campanula for
sale or any, other plants, would sug
gest you use the advertising pages
of The Oregonian and am quite sure
you will find buyers.
I have an azalea which I bought in a
small pot and thinking the pot too small
I repotted it in a larger pot and they
have shown nrarttrallv nn w -n , V, fnr
than a year. I repotted them in loam and"
tna roota ao not seem to take hold in It.
MHS. J. B. IX
Answer Azaleas require a soil of
peat and sand. Loam is not to their
liking. If there are no swamps or
low places in your vicinity where
you can get peat I would suggest that
you send the plant to some florist and
let him repot it. Le mold is also
good for azaleas and is better suited
to them than any other soil except
peat, which is the best of all. The
sooner you get your plant into proper
soil the better chance you have of
saving it from total loss.
I have heard of persons using egg shells
for the planting of seeds for summer flow
ering plants. Can you tell me how it la
dona and If it la successful? .
FARMER'S WIFE.
Answer In the country where it
is difficult to get the thumb nail or
mlnature individual pots I have seen
egg shells used successfully. Take the
half of an egg shell and punch a hole
with a pin in the bottom to provide
drainage. Fill the egg shell with light
soil such as you would use for arrow
ing seeds in flats and plant one or two
or three seeds in each egg shell and
piace tne snens in a flat box. You can
then set the box In front of a window.
When the seeds germinate pull out
the weaker ones from each of the
shells, leaving the stronger ones, and
these when ready for transplanting
will have a nice ball of earth fastened
to the roots.
When Is the proper time to divide
the Japanese anemone or wild-flower?
WILLAMETTE HEIGHTS.
Answer Unless your sods are un
usually large I would not advise dis
turbing your anemones, for you will
find that splitting triem up will spoil
the blooming qualities for a year.
If you really feel you must divide
them, allow me to suggest that in
stead of lifting the entire root and
dividing it that you cut off with
a sharp tool what' you need from the
outer edge of the planting, leaving
the center, with the root, undisturbed.
In this way you will be able to en
joy practically the full blooming
qualities of the plant next summer
and fall. The time to do this is in
early spring, before growth has
started.
IRISH WILL MEET IN PARIS
Greatest Gathering of Race Since
Brian's Historic Assembly in 1014.
PARIS, Jan. 21. Promoters of, the
world congress of the Irish race to
be held in Paris for one week begin
ning January 31, says it will be the
greatest gathering of the Irish race
since King Brian's historic assembly
in 1014.
The various methods by which the
25,000,000 persons of Irish blood
throughout the world can assist in
the economic reconstruction of Ire
land made necessary by the years of
conflict, will be among the chief
problems before the conference. The
revival of Irish art, language and
literature also will be considered.
One of the large halls in the center
of Paris has been obtained for the
sessions and an exhibition of Irish art
will be held in another hall near the
headquarters. The best known Irish
artists are sending pictures for the
exhibition.
Concurrently with the congress will
be a representation of Irish drama in
French In one of the Parisian thea
ters and a concert of Irish music by
one of the best known orchestras in
Europe.
Many descendants of Irish exiles o(
the 17th century who played historic
roles in France and other countries
have responded to the invitation of
the general secretary, Miss Katberine
Hughes, who will be present.
Five South American countries have
already indicated a desire to Bend
delegations. These are Brazil, Ar
gentine, Chile. Bolivia and Peru, while
delegations from New Zealand. Tas
mania and other remote countries are
already on their way.
Japan Wants American Mill.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Negotiations
for a lumber site and timber pre
serves are being made by a Japanese
firm which proposes to supply the
Toklo market with British Columbia
lumber. At the present time Cana
dian mills capable of turning out
dimension lumber are being kept busy
by Japanese orders. The interna
tional exposition in Tokio, billed for
next year, has already brought orders
to Pacific coast mills for 50,000,000
feet of dimension lumber.
