WHAT TO 00 WITH
FLOWERS IN APRIL
Col. E. Hofor Talk to the
Members of the Salem
J Floral Society
"Consider the lilies of the field.
how they'srow; they toil not.
neither do they spin: And yet i
say unto you. That even Solomon
In H his glory was not arrayed
like one of these."
(The Salem Floral society
sends to The Statesman the fol
lowing: "The enclosed papr
which was read at the - regular
meetlnr of the Salem Floral So-
tmw on VriAaV will dnuhtleSS t9
ot interest to yonr readers." Fol
lowing Is tne pager menuonea.;
BulbM For April
Of course, Salem has been to
ed the Gladiolus C ty and this
flower should be planted gener
ously. Consult your catalogs, or
a good dealer, on mass plantation
that ts effective masses of co.or
instead of a great variety. A
fine effect can be secured with a
single variety, but still better y
planting several shades of yellows,
lavender, or a masa ot white. Still
finer Tor showing off the city is a
mass of two to four brilliant red?.
The mass plant'ngs advertise the
city and educate the beholder to
want quantities of flowers. For
early gladiolus plant at once, and
plant some a month later and
even the last week In June, tor
the latest blooms.
Lilies are a good bet In April.
They require ' deep, fine e.tu
with well rotted manure if possi
ble but will do well in any crum
bly loam or even red so!J without
fertiliser. Put a stake by each
l ly bulb as they will want pro
tection against winds. Our grea
native Santiam lily should be
there. The department of agrlcul-

Order from your grocer
ture is urging people to plant!
.lEaster lily seed and to grow our
own bulbs instead of imports. The
gold banded Auratum and the Ma.
donna lily do well planted in
April. A new lily is the Regal
from China or Japan a glorious
combinat on of lemon and white.
Easter lily bulbs can also be used
If you can get them.
The Ranunculus has been won
derfully improved and is a bulb
that more adventurous florists
should plant in the open.
In the new Anemones the St.
Brigid in all colors is a tine thing.
Anemones are lovely, coming with
the earliest snow drops, but will
not associate with weeds any
weed will k:ll them out.
a new iiovver ior April plant
ing is the Mexican Ti'gridia, with
large showy flowers on stems five
to six inches long.
Tbe axias in all colors and tub
eroses should go into the ground
this month. The former is a rich
flowering plant about fifteen inch
es h'gh. Of course, later in the
month dahlias are going in on a
large scale. For effects, again
growers should be cautioned U
get masses of one color or varie
ty. Set a stake with each root.
Perennials
All of the April perennials can
be set out and even flowering
Bhrubs do well. If shr,ubs are
planted prepare the soil well an-J
set in water and cut down neat
the ground. Among hardy per
ennials (here are none better than
Shasta daisy and Golden - Glow,
both easy to grow and producing
large quant-ties 'of flowers. It 1
a. mistake to allow Shasta daisies
to stand in a clump for years.
They should be separated ant.
planted anew every two years, and
for the finest flowers set out new
plantings every year. Two grand
perennials , are Deronicum and
Canterbury Belles.
Some Other April Plantinirs
Cannas and castor beans should
be got out at once . Geraniums
in all colors should be made sure
of. The prices are moderate li
bought in quantities. Do not for
get the old favor'tes ich as
bleedingheart, coreopsis, larkspur
Or delphinium, uhiox. nink miu
sweet Williams, scabiosas and
snapdragons. April is the gail-
lardia month, and this is a flow
er all should grow, for it starts
early and if kept cut off and not
let go to seed, will bloom until
Christmas. It is a living exem
plar of the lavishness and gejter
osity of nature, and all flowers
bloom ten-fold if given freely to
.friends and to those we love, or
the unfortunate who have no
flowers. We must not forget the
chrysanthemums for fall flowers
are best planted this month.
Growing Home Annua
Here is an alphabetical list o'
flowers that do well if planted in
boxes, flats, hotbeds . or under
windows and later transplanted.
You will get quicker results If
you get light sandy loam for your
boxes, not too rich, and set where
tney can be covered In case of
frost. The 1st to plant from
seeds as above is as follows: Af-
r.can daisies, white or yellow:
Ageratum, Asters. Ralsara. Cal-
lieopsis. Candy tuff, Clarkla, Cocks
comb, Godetia, Lobelia, Annual
Larkspur Lupines. Marigold. Mig
nonette, Nicotians, Verbena Zin
nia.
It is difficult to prow plant o'
cosmos, pansy, petunia and salvia
at home. Better buy plants from
growers who will have them ready
ior yoq in "May or .June. April is
the latest t'me for starting sweet
pens, although good results can
still be obtained. There are oth
er beautiful flowering plants that
cannot well be p'anted In boxes
and might be started the latter
part of this month such as the an.
nnal poppies which do best plant
ed in the open. There Is a very
sweet flower, the seed of which Is
named Thnnbergia (black-eyed
Susan) that w ll bear sow' rig in
the open. Flower lovers will rec
ognUe friends In th's list and ir
seed cannot be obtained plants of
nearly all these varieties are to
be had at' the greenhouses, fn
conclusion. April is a month to try
the patience of flower growers
when It ! comes to cultivation.
Still .it is best to watch your soil
and stir the surface at every op
portunity and learn to cultivate
without teaving footprints in the
flower beds. It pays this month
to use fertilizers, such as old
barnyard manure or well rotted
street sweepings, scattered' lightly
among the young plants. The
mulch helps the soil and is vrry
nourishing and stimulating to the
baby plants.
ditions in Oregon are favorable i
for the development of the flax
Industry, but that it has been
handicapped heretofore by lack
of continuous successful manage
ment. I hope that under the
present conditions the Industry
may have an opportunity to pro
gress under Mr. Crawford's able
management for a surncient se
ries of years to demonstrate clear
ly the .possibilities of flax fiber
production in that region.
While It might be possible,
with abundant funds, to have se
cured 10,000 acres instead of 1,
009, it aeems better to have
started in with a reasonable
amount and allow room for de
velopment. One of the dangers
in a new Industry like this is at
tempting to start at the top In
stead of beginning in a modest
way and growing up.
While it is impossible to pre
dict what the future market may
be, numerous statements In the
textile papers in this country,
and more especially those com
ing to my attention from Europe,
indicate that the outlook is fav
orable for a good market and a
keen demand for flax fiber. You

The Statesman of a few days ago
to the letter the full text of which
is printed below. The letter was
dated at Washington, March 27.
and it was written to; Mrs. W. P.
Lord by LVster H. Dewev. bota
nist In charge of plants, bureau
of plant Industry. United States
department of agriculture. Fol
lowing is the letter:)
Your two letters regarding pro
gress in the flax industry in Ore
gon are received.
I am very glad to note that
progress is actually being made
there, and I agree with you that
the establishment of a coopera
tive company, independent of po
litical conditions, is positive evi-
dence of real progress and I am
especially glad to note that the
company has been so fortunate
as to secure the services of Mr.
Crawford to direct the", work. I
was well pleased with the work
which he showed to me at the
penitentiary when I visited Salem
two years ago. The history of
the. flax industry as you have re
counted it to me heretofore and
also in one of these letters in
dicates very clearly that the con-
which formerly supplied 75 "to
80 per cent of the flx fiber of
the world, now has less than 6
per cent of its former supplies
available for export. There have
been increases In tbe flax acre
age In Germany, Canada and
Japan, but not enough to make
up for tbe decrease in Russia and
except In Japan scarcely enough
Co provide for home consump
tion. The flax fiber from Japan
has not entered into the world's
market to any considerable ex
tent. I do not look for a return, of
the abnormally ,. high prices of
1930, and I do net believe that
