I la' X U'
VOTE Thrf Statesman presents a house plan spe-c-ially
drawfr for the building page of this paper by
t.yle P. Bartholomew, architect, with offices in the
raited States National Bank building.
An EpgUsh cottage type of house using bits
of colonial detail with a rambling yet com
pact, plan.,.
Interesting features are : the living room so
arranged as to receive the sun from three
sides, the south side to look over a view lawn.
Variety in Planting Held
Advisable With Shrubbery
Too often the planting is -made
tip of too many of one kind of
shrubs. There are really so many
delightful varieties to choose
from one should have a good as
sortment in the average home
planting.. And one can afford to
dig up a few and substitute tome
new varieties. A change in the
planting now and then keeps the
whole place more interesting.
There Is a new shrub from
China, which, is very popular
now, called the Beauty Bush. It
is very hardy having come from
the high peaks of Hupehi moun
tains.' This charming shrub has a
general resemblance to both
Weigela and Honeysuckle, its
beautiful trumpet shaped pink
flowers appearing in great pro
fusion during June.
EVERGREENS
Spring is an Ideal time to
plant evergreens. Although ever
greens do not do well under
city conditions where smoke Is
prevalent, they are very success
ful otherwise. The rich green fol
iage of evergreens makes a de
lightful contrast to other plants.
In winter and summer they ire
equally beautiful. By adding a
few plants each year one can
soon have a fine variety of ever
greens placed for foundation or
lawn planting.
, GETTING READY
First have a plan or a general
idea or what you wish to accom
plish. Then the slants can be
ordered and arranged - intelli
gently. As soon as warm spring
days come and the ground can be
worked. It is wise to space the
beds to receive shrubs and flow
ers and prepare the soil Just as
thoroughly as yon would for
vegetable garden.
Spring planting days will soon
be here and if you want to make
the best of your opportunities,
now is the time to gt your order
in for new trees, shrubs, vines
and flowers. Then yon will get
early delivery oi your plants- and
can plant . them during the first
warm days. The .early spring
rains areTC. great " benefit to
newly - planted trees and shrubs
in that It aids their roots to be
come firmly established before
the hot weather sets in..
Spring is the ideal - planting
time for all plants excepting pos
sibly a few of the early . spring
blooming pereanlals'suca as Iris
and 'peonies. These may be safe
ly moved then, however, but not
without some sacrifice of bloom

SILVER CREEK

Appearance of Scenic Asset
To Be Improved, Silver
Club Indicates
SILVERTON The matter of
keeping Silver Creek clean was
again brought up at the Garden
club meeting held Monday, night.
Thebeauty or the stream itself
was empasized, but much distress
was shown at the lack of civic
pride in keeping - it respectably
looking. It was brought, out that
there is an ordinance against
throwing rubbish into the creek,
but. according to Monday night's
statements. Silverton folk are eith
er ignorant of this ordinance or
unforgivably careless. Mrs. rercy
Brown, president of the club, was
delegated to appoint a committee
which was to confer with the coun
cil in the matter of forcing mer
chants and other to retrain from
throwing material into Silver
creek. Mrs. Brow expressed the
opinion that "the city council we
now have Is very easy to worn
with and also has the interest of
the city at heart, so therefore
I fell we will accomplish some
thing In this matter."
The holding of a spring flower
show was also discussed at the
Garden club meeting- Itf embers
voted to hold such a show and de
tail arrangements were left in the
hands of a committee composed
ot Mrs. Roy Davenport, Harvey
Hallet and Mrs. S. Ames.
Miss Elizabeth Ford of Salem
gave an interesting and informa
tive talk centering about the Ar
nold Arboretum. Miss Lord said
that one thing which particularly
added to trie pleasure of a day
spent in the arboretum was that
no automobiles were permitted
within ita confines and it was per
fectly delightful to walk about
and gaze at the 6500 specimens
without fear of being knocked
down and run over by some auto
mobile. Miss Lord discussed many dif
ferent shrubs and flowering tree3
and much of her discussion was
accented with the statement that
"Oregon is particularly suited to
their growth." She particularly
mentioned the flowering crabs,
magnolias, contoeasters, quinces,
and spireas. Miss Lord: regretted
that in most instances the Ore
gonlans only cultivated a very few
of the varieties and were not ac
quainted with the great number
that existed. In speaking of the
spireas, Miss Lord said: "We are
used to but two or three of these,
but that it Just a drop in the
bucket as to what is shown at
the Arnold Arboretum."
Miss; Edith Schryver was also
present and spoke briefly. Miss
Schryver talked chiefly ot gar
dens "as gardens an-1 not as a
place for specimens. She spoke
of the garden as an out-door liv
ing room.
It was announced at the close
of the meeting that Mr. Gabrielson.
of the Oregon Gardens at Port
land will be present at the next
meeting . and speak on tn con
trol of rodents. .
