Adding to the Attractiveness and Fame of Their City
BY AUDRED BUNCH
Salem is fortunate, from the
standpoint of her Increasing civic
beauty, in those of her citizens
who make, of gardening ,a hobby,
- an, enthusiastic hobby, a hobby
with meaning. The happy point
of it, all is that f, not only the
devotees themselves derive a satis-

any idea of the philanthropy in
it, through the men are philan
thropic, all of them, that a Sa
lem insurance agent, a college
chemistry professor, two phys
icians, a realtor, and the manager
of a big creanfery have made the
grounds surrounding the homes
where they live distinct assets to
the sum beauty of the community.
.Homer Smith, the insurance
agent in the group, has made
phlox somewhat of a specialty,
though his grounds on North Sum
mer street, at practically any time
of a year, are a joyous riot of
color. His main interest is In
the general attractiveness of the
whole effect, developed, when pos
sible, with a multiplicity of bloom.
In June the Ideal is best realized
by means of the phlox of which
Mr. Smith has probably one hun
dred and fifty bunches.. His speci
mens of the Elizabeth Campbell
variety are probably as notable
as any in the valley. For bloom
ing purposes gardeners have found
It increasingly satisfactory, -,due
to the ready disappearance of all
faded blodms and the almost im
mediate reappearance of a fresh
Lstalk of flowers.
" The two acre space on South
Fourteenth street that Dr. H. J.
Clements owns may be termed a
garden in the making. While
much of the present landscaping
is temporary, the permanent lines
are well defined. : A fern bed. a
bog garden, and an extensive!
rock-garden have already been!
formed. But at the Clements' I
home the iris borders command!
the greatest interest. Dr. Cle-

German, in the Spanish, in the i
English, and in the Siberian and
Japanese varieties. Through his !

They Speak the Language of Love, and Flowers for the

Doctor's Prescription There Have Been Great
Changes in a Generation
By H. C. BATEIIAM
Editor Statesman:
- The grounas of the little red
school house where. J used to go
to school back in Ohio 50 years
ago used to be so overgrown with
ragweed f that' the ""directors
would cttrae around once a year
and mof jccrii dpwn. Then when
we went to make a run in base
ball or pullaway we ,ran the stub
ble right; into our bare feet. Any
one who I would have been foolish
enough to suggest that a flower
garden or rose bed would be nice
would hive been laughed out of
countenance.
But times have changed, and
now no school grounds are con
sidered complete ; without their
space for lawn, trees and flowers.
Instead of bringing a few wilted
flowers to teacher, the teacher
now insrtucts the pupils in the
planting,, watering and picking of
flowers sufficient ; for all school
purposes. This training in the
care and appreciation of "public"
property is worth a fortune in any
community. A child that is train
ed to stand up for his school flow
er garden will hardly be guilty of
carving his initials on a tree in
the state house grounds or damag
ing any other public proprety.
Flowers are an inspiration to
better living. Who can gaze upon
the pure white lrly that shoots up
TThTough the piles of soot and cin
ders, or the gold in the heart of
the water lily which grows out of
the slime and mud below the wa

we, too, many, if we will, rise
above our surroundings, and live
clean lives in spite, of - circum
stances? Whether 6ne strolls by
the streams and hills or drives
through the residential section of
the city, one is impressed with
God's loving kindness who mak

evil and the good.

E"ditor Statesman:
You ask for an article for your
Slogan "issue of The Statesman on

and caring for tulip and narcissus
bulbs , will be -of interest at this
time. 4 '.: . J '
No doubt all of! the tulip bulbs
and most of the varieties of daf
fodil and narcissus bulbs are ripe
enough to lift at this time. Tulips
should be lifted eery year to get
the best results in producing blos
soms forr the following year, and
also to get the best propagartion
of the bulb both in number and
quality. 'After lifting put in a
cool dry place away from the wind
and light. Leave them : for a
week or so, depending on how dry
they are when lifted just long
enough to dry out the excess
moisture from the bulb. Then they
can be separated i and placed in
a cool basement, not too dry but
not damp enough ; to cause mold
to form on the bulbs. They should
have ventilation, but not draft or
wind blowing against them. It
is also better to keep away from
the light. For containers any
anthemum. These six perennials
could be arranged in groups to
give a progression about the
boundary beds. Or groups of two
or three plants of each in general
groups to be altered would give a
continuous display all season.
This could be supplemented by
gladiolus bulbs., .

THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW that Salem ought to be the center of a
floriculture that will make this the real "City Beautiful,"
attracting attention from the most desirable people all
over the country; that we produce tulip bulbs better than
Holland can grow, and other bulb and other flowers as
fine as can be grown on the round earth; that we 'have a
natural setting and natural conditions of soil and climate
that will make it comparatively easy to render this one of
the mpst attractive cities in all the world; that we have
some of the most efficient specialists in different types
of. flower gardening here who live any where; that they
are making Salem famous in many lines of floriculture;
and that this city should have at least 5000 active mem
bers of its floral society, as planned by the late Mrs. W.
P. Lord and others when the society was first organized?
THE BAffiR LANDSCAPE YEAR FOR
SALEM HAS
What the Archaeologist of the Year 5000 Might1Find to
Speculate Upon, According to a Picture of Fancy
Drawn W. C- Dibble, the Dean of Floriculture Here,
Who Pioneered the Bulb Industry of the Salem District
Editor Statesman:
When the archaeologist of 5000
A. D. reaches, digging down, the
rock gardens that have been put
in this year in Salemion the TY-A.
Livesley place, the Curtis Cross
place, the U". G. Shipley placfe and
the Orris Fry, place tje will frown
and speculate on what it means.
He will have known of the glacier
flow, and looking at one rock
pointed one way, and another, an
other way they will seem to him
to substantiate a glacier theory;
but he will soon find on the Curtis
Cross plaCe that on two sides of a
certain arey of ground, there is an
inclined wall which proves after
all to be no wall, but a studied dis
position Of rocks, cunningly placed
and broken up by irregular steps,
all focalizing at an arrangement
that looks liEe a made grotto or
spring. He will then reject tbe
glacier theory, but remembering
the Druids who worked some years
before In England, he will ques
tion whether or not these OreEan
os (Having found the name on
the fragment of a statue) were
priests and whether he has found
a design with religious signifc
ance. Then he will dig zealously
for the key to this enigma, but
when he recahes the TlAiLivesIey
place this theory wJff be a Bit
shattered. He will find there a
rock setting for a spring, the wa
ter of which is curiously released
to fall into a shining pool, thence
to cascade down a winding rocky
bed; then another pool and an
dther cascade until It rests in a
broad rush-lined marsh. Small
petrified, aoken bridges cross this
at intervals. "Now" thinks the
archaeologist, "this is a working
plan for some great engineering
( project." He is fortified In this
belief because one of his colleagues
excavatingat Detroit has found
bits of steel fearfully put together,
and, near by, wheels in sets of
four, . race bf engineers, he
thinks but when he excavates at
the U. G. Shipley place, and finds
a massive rock incline terminating
in paths and a geometric figure;
at the Orris Fry place where he
follows an orderly progression of
rock to a logical end, he begins
to wonder If he has not chanced
upon a site for astranomica ob
servations. These people discov
ered Betelgeuse. he knows, about
the 20th century, and perhaps this
was the place, and as he sits down
to think it over and make amap
ana survey for the Institute, there
happens there a wayfaring man
who was not an archaeologist or
scientist or astronomer or engin
eer, and he says:
"These are rock gardens and
the Oreganos planted them for the
pleasure of the effect, for beauty,
right.
The Manner Year
This has been the banner land
scape year In which I have lived
in Salem. Not only has there
been a larger area landscaped
(and this includes both large and
small places), but it has been done
inality and aesthetic method. It
to a high standard, both In orig
is not, however, in the larger area,
nor in the; progressive standards
that the significance of the year,
lies. It H in the large area del
voted to rock gardens of the best
type, and of a permanence to be
found, as noted, by the archaeolo
gist of joOOO A. D. For there are
roek gardens and rock gardens, in
the stale of O'egon. There are
BEEN THE PAST YEAR
rock meadows transplanted to
town; there are rock walls, in
which the rock plants find no
lodgment and die. There are -rock
rings 'around a tree, and
paths with rock edging. For
tunately the rock gardens built in
Salem this year are none of these. T
On the positive side they have
arisen in the right places, where
there are or might be rocks. Rocli'
gardens in level places, heaps of
stone because the owner wished
a rock" garden, are the real pathe
tic fallacies. '
" Then they arej seml-formal
which, when one comes to consi
der it, is what rock work in town
for the most part, should be. It
is axiomatic that anything near
the house or street, be it plant , or
rock, should partake of the lines
of house or street, and not disfig
ure them by chaotic plan tine.
There is a place for naturalistic -
rock work, but it is In remote plac
es where the freedom of the set
ting will not disturb the fine, lines,
the impressive, form of a. house of
excellent proportions. On the C.
G. Shipley place Oje rock work
admirably sustains and becomes
a living link between house and
yard. On the east entrance it ,
begins at the street line and is
carried up the hill to the bouse
with such reserve and sturdiness
that the house seems a part of
the rock formation, and although
new, to have been there many
years.
On the T. A- Livesley place,
the mountain "stream, heretofore
mentioned, is both supported by
and connected with the rocfe gar
den, which Is the ordered and basic
setting of the eastern end of the '
bouse. The splendid sweep s of
lawn and shrub in front ' .ruua
straight up to a terrace, buttress
ed by rock, work at the ends, that
is .'fundamental, not only' to tha
terrace but to the Imposing Eng-,
li8h front of the house. On the
Curtis Cross place the rock work
abuts the sidewalk on the north
and east sides and. Is built with
studied restraint up the Incline,
In and around the oak trees so as .
to accent the serene line of the
house itself, which, with its Span
ish architectural -motif, .its stuc-
coed exterior, receives this impulse
quite obviously. The rocks- in; all ;
the places are deep set, and .ook
now not only as If they belonged i
there but had been a long time J
