GARDEN DISPLAY OF. RARE BEAUTY uuiriiwjiuiitiiiiWTimimi'iimiumiiamimxi I i ? i Si,'.' ' DC.'. . - -T v Six mile from Portland over the Canyon road near Beaverton, is a flower laden hillside overlooking the fairest of gren valleys known to city folk who hurry by In motors merelfc as the Weed gardens; Often pass ersby do not even-pause for more than a cursory glance at the myriad hued' blossoms which - cover every inch, from, the roadway almost to the skyline. . . Eleven years ago the family of H. E. Weed came to Portland from Chicago and invested the sum of 13500 in the Berneche collection of peony roots from .Olympla, Wash. This collection con sisted of about 125 varieties from which only- about 0 plants were preserved for the present assortment . which; includes about 5 varlUes of the flower, some of the plants marketing at S50 each. PLANT POLLINATION , The peonies are propagated by the di vision of roots but the new varieties are produced by plant pollination, the process taking seven years for the first' blooms from seed. : A great many Inferior, vari eties have been discarded as the nursery maintains its reputation by keeping only the rarest blooms, -roots from which are sold all over the United States., more especially, in Oregon' and Washington,' where the people are just beginning to realize the .beauty of the flowers and the fact that practically ill the grower has . to do with them" is to get them planted. ; To succeed with the peonyy the roots must be planted in the autumn and must not be moved after February 1 or the plant will be stunted in growth and -will not recover-f or several years. The greater proportion of peonies now planted around Portland came from the Weed nursery including those ' at the city nursery at Mount Tabor park. MASSIVE IXOWEB. The best variety is the "Rosa Bon heur." a wonderfully massive and beau tiful flower. The single blossoms i and the shaggy blooms of the peony appear In almost every Unt ranging from palest pink to deep crimson. If the peonies are cut before f uUy .opening in the field they will remain fresh- for at least two weeks as cut flowers so that the blossoms are much in dehiand'for decorating purposes. The Weed , gardens are- the home of J10 varieUes of iris.- Most interesting among these are the winter blooms which flower in the middle of December! and continue until the early part of A jrll by which time other varieties are in bloom. The season for "the iris ends about July 4 when the Japanese type has finished its flowering.- The Japanese iris al though they will bloom without water require moisture for their best develop went and produce much larger blossoms Z':SL hardy manager, included Muriel Nichols.

They are inexpensive, ' many good ones costing only 25 to SO cents per root. The newer varieties, however, run up to ?'5. . ' ' - - JEW VARIETIES " j iWeed is originating several hew vari eties. This is accomplished by cross pol lination, taking the pollen of one flower and applying it to the pistil of another variety or species. : . , :.

In the ; meantime we ask our regular customers and the general public to M sssasBs s It Will Surely Pay You Sample . of Bargains in Our Windows A STATEMENT BYS. J.LEVITT President of Levitt's Store ' For months and months we had been considering Just this step. To sty the least it is not at all a pleas ure to make this announcement. It is not easy to decide to discontinue a business which - has worked its way from a small beginning to one of Portland's large establishments. To put our name before the public , alone cost a large fortune. No mat ter" where you go in the state of 'Oregon, they know of the Levitt's . $,tore. . Just, recently, .during May," we held our Trader Building Event and made a drive for 5000 new cus tomers: During this month over 12,000 people made purchases In our store. . Surely a store that can boast 'of such response must stand, well in the community. You can therefore see that it is no pleasure to discontinue the department store. But these . are unusual times. It seems the more we sell the more we lose. It is not a case now of how much you can make, but how much you can keep from losing. The simple statement that we have lost more since the decline in goods started -than we made during the war is just a plain, simple, honest fact. This being the case, we de cided after many meetings and much "deliberation that this was a good time to go out of 'the department store business. Please do not mis understand - we are not hollering calamity, we just simply called a halt. Our volume has held its Own, in fact, practically holding up to last year, but what is the use when the more we sell the more we lose? We are therefore going to make quick work of our stock and fix tures. . . , Our action might, be a good op portunity for one who likes the de- partment store business. If you can form a corporation to take the busi ness over and finance It properly, and have the proper executives to manage the business, come and see us. Wewant to express arvappreeia tion of all courtesies extended to us by our many customers. - The many friends we have made is our greatest regret In the going out of the department store business. ; Sincerely, . . , -'. . S, J. LEVITT. President. : BY THE WAY . When we start to close out our stock, should anyone wish to return their purchase and receive their ' cash back,- I will personally immedi ately O- K. the refund. Until the last day that this-store has an open , door I don't want anyone to te dissatisfied.
