THE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX PORTLAND, OCTOBER S, 1923 8. sjT' '')- I r : I 0 ovfinH low BY A. GARDEN GROWER. IN the floral display at the state fair the first prize was awarded Smith Floral shop, of which Tommy Luke is the proprietor, and the second prize to Clarke Bros. The display of the Smith shop was extensive and embraced a largre va riety of flowers. The center piece was a basket of mammoth yellow . chrysanthemums and arranged around were numerous vases and baskets filled with carnations, roses, dahlias, zinnias, asters and like flowers now available. A basket of Columbia roses was particularly (rood as was also a hug-e vase of Li&ddie carnations, but 1 think the outstanding feature of this display, certainly the one that appealed to me, was a basket of Francis King grlad.loli and an assortment of del phinium, the colors harmonizing perfectly. The center piece of Clarke Bros.' was a husre basket of Chrysolora ehxystanthemums, their1 brilliant yellow making- a striking picture. Grouped around was an extensive display of roses, gladioli, zinnias and asters. As was to be expected, this'dislpay had the best and finest grown roses and I have never seen Mr. Clarke's new rose, Mrs. John C. Ainsworth, displayed to better ad vantage. The blooms were excep tionally large on long stems and be lnftr such a heavy-petaled rose. It retains its' bud-like form for a long time. The Mrs. Charles Russell, Co lumbia and the Ophelia roses in this display were good, but I think the real novelty of the exhibit was small basket of Golden Ophelia roses, with a few sprays of blue lace flower and maidenhair fern The display of Clarke Bros., in addition to getting second prize for cut flowers, won first prize for potted plants, their display of ferns and palms -covering a space about S00 square feet. The first prize for growing ferns was awarded to Wil son, Crout and Gehr of Portland, who In addition featured palms and banana plants and also showed in their display a number of potted flowering plants.. The display of cat flowers by the Holden Floral company was striking. In fact, from a color combination, the cen ter piece of this display . appealed more strongly to me than any other. It was a fountain arrangement, the top of it being composed of the rich rsd gladiolus. War, and the next base being a combination of soft, maroon zinnias, livened with spray of the -Climax variety of Michaelmas daisies. The base was a combina tion of soft, orange zinnias and dah lias of harmonizing tones. A basket of Ophelia roses and delphinium was another feature of this dislpay and a separate entry of a basket of flowers was a huge high-handled basket filled with Delice and F. Graham dahlies. I never Imagined that such a combination could be made, as at least it would never have struck me to try it. but after seeing It at Salem I can say that it la most charming. The soft pink of the Delice variety blends delight folly with the flame pink and told of F. Graham. Possibly one appeal the combination makes is that F. Graham, being a large cactus dahlia, eta off what might otherwise be regarded as stiffness in the decor . atlvs type of a dahlia like Delice. In the display by Niklas & Son the feature was a center piece of huge bronze chrysanthemums and grouped around were blooms of many different types. In this dis play was a real novelty and appro priate to send a new baby and mother. It was a miniature cradle, done In white and filled with Cecil Brunner roses and blue lace flower, a wonderful combination, most ap pealing in its delicacy and harmony. Straw flowers in many combinations were also dleplayed by Niklas & Son, and the extent to which these1 everlasting flowers are growing In J popular favor was Illustrated. By a process grasses and even weeds are dyed and preserved and ar ranged with the best of the straw flowers to give the floral arrange ment that airy, graceful appearance so necessary. The Clackamas Green Houses had a big display of growing plants, particularly potted flowers for win ter use in the home, and in their collection I noticed a new type of cyclamen, which I think will appeal to many this fall. It is known as the Victoria variety and is quite different from the ordinary run of cyclomen, in that the flower, in ttead of being one shade, is a bi .lor and the edge of the bloom is serrated like a carnation. In color it la a white with a deep rose edg ing and the blooms are produced on 'long stems.' The display of orchids at the fair was Jlmited; abou the ' a 7 rnly blooms being shown were some cypripedium, In deep mahogany tones. These were exhibited by Dr. W. Ferrill, the Portland amateur orchid- expert. In carnations, large displays were made by Fred Young cf Portland and Weiderman Bros, cf Wllsonville. Coming in on the last two days of the fair, the educa tional exhibit of ourdoors grown roses by the Mountain View Floral company proved a worth while fea ture. Taken as a whole, the floral display at the state fair was the best ever staged and showed the thousands of visitors what Oregon is accomplishing in flora culture. To those who want blooming flowers in their homes during the winter the tulip probably is the easiest from which satisfactory re sults may be obtained if taken at the right time. From now until No vember is the best time in which to prepare and plant tulips for house culture and in a favorable climate like Portland the methods to fol low are quite simple. Of course tulips look bes in pots when grown in groups of five or more and as nearly everyone has somewhere around the house or garden some old five-inch pots these will do very well for planting from three to five bulbs. The best thing to use is what the florists call pans. They are not as deep as the ordinary flower pot and the sides are straighter, thus allowing better planting facilities. If you do not know what a florist's pan is like stop in any flower shop and they will be glad to show you one and then when you have that fixed in your mind you can obtain them from the seed houreg or possibly your florist will supply you. They cost very little and as they are far more satisfactory for tulip culture I strongly advise their use. As for soil almost any kind will do, but of course the better the soil the better plants you will have. My ex perience has- shown that tulips if well taken care of will thrive in al most any kind of soil and will even produce blooms In sand. But the ideal soil is one composed of garden loam in which has been mixed two parts of well rotted cow manure. The manure must be well rotted. Fresh manure will never do, for all bulbs .resent - the use of fresh ma nure. To this mixture should be added enough clean sand to make the soil porous. If you can com pound such a soil as this you will have the best available, but I know of persons who have achieved great success in taking some of the soil from their rose beds in which ma nure had been well mixed the pre vious spring and then adding suffi cient sand to make it soft. If your soil is "heavy you can lighten it con siderably by the addition of leaf mold, but the main thing is to see that the soil is soft and friable, with sufficient body to retain moisture. Wood ashes with a little charcoal in It is also good to use in heavy soil. The number of bulbs to be planted in each pan depends largely upon the size of the display you desire. Some fl rists I know plant as many as ten or 12 in a seven-inch pan, but for the average amateur I would recommend five or six in a five Inch pan and about eight in a ten inch pan. Fill the pan about three fourths full of the light soil and then press down the bulbs firmly into the soil, after which fill in soil around the bulb clear to the tip and press this soil firmly around the MUD, sa that the bulb and soil are In contact at every point. Having accomplished this, water freely, that is give the pan a good soaking and then plunge the pan in the soil out in the garden in some good sunnv place. Just dig a hole sufficiently large to hold the pan and nlunge it in to the rim. Cover the whole with straw and leaves and leave It alone for five or six weeks, while the bulbs are making roots. When the upper growth has started, dig up the pan and bring It into the house, but do not make a too rapid change in temperature. It should first be kept in a moderate tem perature and a place where the atmosphere is not too dry. The average living room is too hot and also too dry. W ater the pan freely, but not too much, for some tulips resent over-watering, particularly the majority, which are white and of the lighter shades, but see that the pan does notedry out and that the soil does not cake and crack. Also see that the plant does not get the direct rays of the sun through the glass, for such a thing is likely to scorch the leaves, and the broad green leaves of the tulip are one of its principal charms. As to the type of tulips best suited for indoor cul ture, practically all of the single early varieties are preferable for the average amateur, but those with little experience or those wbo- ao- i ii ill h-j-ih sire to try their skill the Darwin types offer many advantages. If you are in doubt as to what varie ties to try consult your seedman, tell him just the conditions under which you propose to grow the tu lips and he will advise the varieties best adapted for your conditions. If you desire a succession of blooms you can start in to plant them now and make a new pan each week for the next five or six weeks, and if you follow this you can have a suc cession of flowering plants until the garden begins to yield its early spring blooms. Airplanes are being successfully used in England for spraying large orchards and extensive plantings which have been attacked by in sects. Recently at Sevenoakes an airplane was used in distributing an insecticide over 50 acres of fruit trees badly infected with caterpil lar. The machine flew at a distance of from 15 to 20 yards over the trees and in half an hour a half-ton of insect powder had covered the trees with a thin layer. That the results were satisfactory is evident because in the next few days it was found that millions of caterpillars had succumbed from the effects of the powder. It is estimated that this method of spraying is cheaper and much more effective. As an experiment to determine the bulb increasing properties of the Powell Valley soil, Charles F. Odell is preparing to put in an extensive planting of tulips this fall in field adjacent to the Steele pansy farms. Mr. Odell has selected for his experiment about 1000 Holland bulbs, which have just arrived in Portland, and also to determine the qualities of the Oregon-grown bulb he has obtained a large number from the bulb farm at Salem. Ac curate records as to blooming qual lties and increase will be kept. The experiment will be watched with interest by professional bulb growers everywhere and particu larly by the experts of the depart ment of agriculture, for it is be lieved Mr. Odell's work will dem onstrate whether or not the Oregon bulb is superior to 'the imported type. There is probably no more enthu siastic amateur gardener in Port land than the Right Rev. Walter T. Sumner, Episcopal bishop of Oregon. The plants surrounding his home at istineteenth and Elm streets, Portland Heights, receive Jiis per sonal care and if you should be passing there early in the morning and seeing a man in khaki clothes working among the beds you would hardly recognize him as a prelate. As a feature of his garden this year Bishop Sumner planted several large beds of flowering annuals, with the idea of having a wealth of flowers for the convention. These beds were filled largely with cosmos, astors and zinnias, and many a conven tion visitor was delighted to get a basket or bouquet from the bishop's own garden. Due to shade cast by an adjoining building , the asters did not reach their greatest profu sion of flowers during the conven tion, but as I passed Bishopcroft a few days- ago I noticed that they they were in full flower. My friend, the retired gardener, dropped in to see me a few days ago and as usual had some sug gestions to make which may be of value to amateur gardeners. He said: "If you will examine your peony roots now you will find them covered with little pink and white shoots, just little points which look like the end of your filiger. These are the shoots from which the flowers next season will come. I found in my experience that the best time to feed peonies is the fall, just when these shoots appear. Bone meal is about as good a fertilizer as you can use and Is much better If mixed with sheep manure, which now can be obtained easily and Is convenient to handle. Simply scat ter it on the surface and dig it In lightly. If you cover the top of your 5eony roots with old leaves and dig them in in the spring you will find It helps to make good flowers," That Oregon flowers have, due to the favorable climate conditions, better sustenance and vigor, is evi dent from the experience during the past two years of Herbert & Fleishauser of McMinnvllle, who have an extensive plantation devel oped fo the cultivation of asters for seed purposes. To be assured of an ample seed crop they put out many plants which, as the season progresses, are not allowed to de velop into seed-bearing plants and the flowers have to . be cut off in order to give the remaining blooms the necessary, strength, to develop choice seed." It was a 'problem of what to do with these - surplus flowers until two years ago when the firm decided to try shipping them a long distance. As there is no market in Portland or adjacent cities for asters, owing to the large number of private growers, Her bert & Fleishauser determined to try shipping them to St- Louis, where flowers are scarce. The ex periment proved so successful last year that this year more than 60,000 aster blooms from Oregpn have been sent into the St. Louis market by this one Oregon firm, and about 40,600 blooms have been sent to other eastern points. By careful methods in packing, wrap ping the blooms in paper, thus ex cluding air, and icing the boxes the same as when shipping fish, the While it, takes three and a half to four days for the flowers to reach St. Louis and another half day be fore they are distributed means that ' probably five or six days elapse from the time the flowers are picked in Oregon before being maae into a Duoquet or a ceniei piece iu St. - Louis, and this lapse of time certainly demonstrates that Cregon produces flowers with vigor, substance and stamina. Note of Gardeners. I have heard of a number of persons who are preparing for ex tensive bulb plantings this fall. Mrs. R. E. Clem of Lebanon will specialize In hyacinths, putting in a number of white, pink and rose colored varieties. She has also in creased her planting of paper white narcissi. Fred C. Montgomery of Spring field, . Or., is contemplating an ex perimental planting of tulips this fall to determine the variety best suited for his soil and location. Among the varieties he will plant will be City of Harleem, . Edmee, Europe, Feu Brillant, Flamingo, Marconi, Rev. H. Ewbanks, Valen tine, Gesneriana, Orange Xing and Eeveral- others. G. W. Artis of North Bend. Or., will feature in his spring garden a new selection of hyacinths in va rious colors. Mrs. D. L. Erdman of Boring, Or., will put in an extensive planting of tulips -this fall. Including such va rieties as Crimson Brilliant, Kelzer kroon, Fred Moore, Lady Boreal and a big bed of mixed early tulips. She is also going to feature parrot tulips and has ordered an extensive collection of hyacinths. Mrs. M. M. Gavin of Cathlamet, Wash., will put in a large assort ment of hyacinths and narcissus. Mrs. James Lasitys of Olympia, Wash., in addition to planting a number of hyacinths and tulip bulbs, will enlarge her rose garden this fall with plantings of the George Dickson and Madam Edou rard Herriott varieties. H. E. Noble of 790 Flanders street will make changes in his shrubbery plantings this fall and will add to bis collection specimen plants of daphne, weeping forsythia, retlnis pora obtusa or Japanese cypress and spirea prunifolia or the plum-leafed spirea, which is one of the most in teresting and striking of that family. G. W. Braden of 4224 Sixty-sixth street Southeast, is preparing to In crease his planting of roses so it will come close to the 100 mark and represent about 25 varieties. This fall he will increase his plantings of the La France, Betty, Frau Karl Druschkl and Harry Kirk varieties. Mrs. S. E. Drew of Silver Lake, In addition to planting more than 10 hyacinths will feature in her spring gardens large plantings of single and Darwin tulips and paper white narcissi. Mrs. John M. Beaumont of South Bend, Was-h., will complete a large bulb collection' this fall with the addition of many varieties of hya cinths, narcissi, both of the sweet scented and the paper white type, jonquils and Chinese sacred lilies. Garden Problems. Will you kindly advise, through your column aevotea to nowers ior tne nome, what you consider the best book on the cultivation or lnaoor nowers ana pianw c Answer I have frequently been asked my opinion as to best handy volume on outdoor flowers and to those who have sent me a stamp for reply have recommended "The Garden Guide" published by A. T. DeLa Mare Publishing company. 43S West Thirty -seventh street. New York. This same firm also issues three excellent books on house plants. "Home Floriculture," by Eben E. Rexford. "House Plants, Their Care and CnltuTe," by Hugh FindJev and "Milaoy's House Plants by F. E. Palmer. You probably can obtain these books also through J. K. Gill & Co., Meier & Frank's or other local book dealers, A Hoqnlam Amateur. - We have a Caroline Teatout rose in the yard which is unlike the others. It has only about a dozen blooms a year. New shoots grow up from it six to seven feet long; by August. Is there anything we can do for It? Could It happen to ba a climber? Could you give me the names of some shrubs and perennials that will do well in a snaay place i ii has about an hour and a half of sun a day. Should heliotrope be taken up in the fall? Our climate is milder than Portland. A HOQUIAM AMATEUR. Answer Judging from the de scriDtion of your rose, I would ven ture to say that it is a climbing va riety, possibly shipped by mistake, or your bush may have sported for you. This winter tie tnese ions shoots in an upright position to keep them from being whipped around Dy the wind and next spring, instead of cutting them off when you do vour pruning, take tnem Dy tne ena, bend them over and then fasten the end to a stake driven In tne grouna and you will probably find that each eye the entire length of the shoot will turn into a blossom with a nice long stem. For your shady place vnn can use as shrubs rhododen drons, veronica, lonicera nitidia, and for perennials anemones, lavenaer, vinpaa. viola cornuta and violets odorata. Heliotrope should always be taken up in the fall, as it will suffer from a very light frost. PROHIBITION BIG ISSUE Senator Reed Opposed by Lawyer "Dry as 1 8th Amendment." ST. TXiXJIS. Mo.. Oct. 7. Although the majority of republican and dem ocratic candidates for congress have not made any announcement on the prohibition question, the wet and dry issue is expeciea to prominent part in the ..Missouri election next November because of the opposite stands taken by the major party senatorial nomineea r. R. Brewster, lawyer of Kansas City. the republican choice for United States senator, has announced himself as "dry as the 18th amend ment," while Senator Reed, the democratic standard bearer, is wet The fact that the prohibition issue has been drawn so clearly by senatorial candidates is believed to be partly responsible for the reticence of congressional aspirants on this matter. Only six out of 1 renublicans seeking congressional seats have announced their stand, while but three out of a similar nnmber of democrats have stated definitely their views. Two of the republicans, both of St, Louis, are wet and one demo crat, Harry B.
