It is a plant both for the garden and the conservatory. It is a member- W that useiul family, the nightshades, to which also belong the tomato and po tato. The plant Is a native of southern South America and the name is derived from an Indian appellation. Petti, with a Latin ized ending. There ere a great vajlety of types, all of which, are useful and beautiful. Toe most widely grown U the small flowered bedding type of which Rosy Morn is the modern prototype, the plants cov ering themselves frein mldsnnv tner until freezing, weather with a sheet of Moora that bides the leaves. A larger flowered form of lax- er growth is the ideal window or porch box plant, that is, the bal cony petunia. The named giant flowered forms are fine pot plants and are better for this extra care than when bedded out. The doable petunia is an old fashioned favorite noise plant. All netunias, including the don bles, aw easily raised from seed and grow readily in almost any noil condition and even bloom la the shade although by nature they are sun lovers. The seed is very tine and tne main trouble in getting the tiny plant by the Infant stage as they are easily washed or drowned out by earless watering when tney are lost through the sou.

GARDEN TALKS A A A w nsr National Contest Garden O p en As we study the beauty of the gardens at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Doertter, east of Sa lem it is difficult to realize that onlyt wo years ago the spot now so lovely as a sunRen garden was a mass of wild evergreen black berry wines. The Doerfler gardens are an outstanding example of what can 1) accomplished by careful plan ning. The hous? in a beautiful set ting of trees and lawn is situated on a knoll with rising ground at the back. The sunken ground that was so much admired last year has been enlarged this year and a formal rose garden has been added. More than 500 Teet cr rocK garaen ex tends on each side of the highway Keeping the grounds up-to-date afeoeld involve a yearly examina tion, a thorough going-over of ev ery part of the grounds with tne itietf of eliminating run - down plantings and sufcstttatiBg ew planting wherever it is needed. Gardens can often be changed to -make them more attractive and more modern, or another type ot garden, such as a rock garden, can be added 40 bring new interest to the grounds. Darin' the dormant season. trim the rrape vines back to a vtery few good eyes or buds. This will increase the vigor of the plant and insure a better crop of fruit. The cutting of the early blos soming kinds of plants for forcing into bloom incroors is a dellghtfo early spring change for interior decoration. Oaa of the most orna mental of all these twigs for this purpose is the pussy willow. Plac ed in water in doors it develops very quickly. ."Who doesn't like to try onl . n .1 ... .1 mm 4 ll A t " .. 1 past the uoeruer Rjuunua a , i8 sllr$iy no exception, auu landscape work has been very : if yQU want your garden to have carefully don. i the eplce of originality, why not This home has been entered in 1 laQ (J bave a rock gar,ien Rock V.m National uaraen comesi uu t , rharnnnz for small as is one of the outstanding homes an,l gardens in the Salem district. Places to View Today Today is the day you may be p.-.re of a welcome in at least the r.iost or t'ne gardens named be low Some of these gardens are small and although very beauti ful it would be difficult for many many visitors to "go through them but those that are small are "viewable" from the street or al ley and that is sfter all the one thing about a garden its appear ance is what one want to find. The right to sit down in the gar den and love and enjoy it at leis ure is reserved for the one who coaxes it into the beauty that the other folk enjoy looking at. A good place to start the tour of "open gardens" today would be from the rose gardens 01 Jirs well as larfte developments, and enables you to enjoy a beauty spot not obtainable with the usual flat landscape arrangement. There's a "best way" to do ev erything, and amateur gardeners should give a little thought to the best way ot nandling pruning shears. Always work with the cutting blade lowermost so that you pull it upward, though the pressure is downward on the handle of the cutting side. This allows you to cut smoothly and close to the stem from which the pruned shoot 13 removed. It insures against possible stripping of bark result ing from a downward cut. Watch the "set" of the blade don't let it get sprung. Never use shears that are dull. Keep them sharp as you work. house -walls tq obtain transition between perpendicular hoese lines and horizontal ground line. Curves are more pleasing Uuta fight -angles in this instance. . Lay oat the garden, if possible, where it is in easy view from that part of the house la which 3ou spend most time. Make the path's and features the shell ot your house. The results will be that your private liviag : rooms will extead to the boundary of yonr property instead pf to the house walls. In furnishing the grounds properly yon make your property a real home ana aaa greatly to the actual value, aa well as to the appearance of the house. The Plan's the Thine Beauty in the development of the grounds is both a matter 01 starting right, then going right. Each particular place has its own Opportunities and advantages. The dearee to which these are recog' Sized and developed will influence the results and often spell the dif ference between the just ordinary and the unusual. Thus we see that beautiful grounds do not "just happen" but are made possible by, first, -a well thought out plan; second, the placing of the background plant ings trees, flowers etc.; and last ly the maintenance of the whole to keep it trim. If the garden ie to be along for mal lines then there is a nice lit tle problem in proportion. Repe tition balance rhythm and accent play their part in the formal de sign. The beholder of a complet ed garden may not be conscious of anything but the beauty of the picture but the requirements of good design have to be met if there is real beauty eipressed. Of these- the primroses offer offer the moat diffiealty as, often th seed is slow. m certain, aad Irregular in germination. The one condition that must be pro vided for primrose seed contin uous atohUare aa good .drainage. For the raising of the more deW icate rock plants a mtxtsre of one-third sifted peat moss, good I fearden soil, and silver sand is often msed. The peai.moes hetge to retain BIDlsture. Being of acid resxtiom it also is less liable of damping-off, ftfftgus post that' often; destroys many seedlings. Nov is the tints to start these little plants. Ther will civw lne plants to be installed and estab lished for next springs aispiay. The saxifrages are the ambition of every rock gardener. There is now a substantia use 01 .mesa tiny gems offered by American seedsmen in response to tne growth of rock gardening popu larity. They need careful hand ling as the plants are very tiny and should only be watered irom below by setting the seed , vessel in another vessel containing wa ter until the soil is moistened. In planting Alpine seedlings in iheir permanent quartets are must be taken to give those pt more vigorous -and rampant growth plenty of room. Otherwise they injght soon overrun and kill choicer subjects of more delicate and fragile growth.

This business represents for them a big increase over pre vious sales In a like period, and they believe, foretells a good business in Salem and vicinity for the summer and fall. Most of the transfers hav been farm deals, wHh the heav iest demand for dairy ranches The largest sale was Bob Hun- Backer's dairy ranch at Tillamook, which sold fer $30,000.

MYRON VAN EATON Roses would be more popular If the new varieties and some not so sew were grown and well knows. These better roses are beau tiful in color and shape as well as having good foliage that is not bo susceptible to disease. Good rose these days must measure up to a' certain standard and that standard is high. The trouble seems to be that most persons who ' fcuv roses do so without knowing the merits or demerits of roses There are many poor ones, rtose exserts jaow give lists of rosea, in garden magazines, and thesj; roses are tested either by them.

Some of the large rose erowisrs are putting out catalogs -that jJtell the truth and all the truth Shout roses snd this is one step tforwsrd. However there are manveatalogs that give sucn 'clow his deseristion of every rose listed that it is impossiBie to pica out the best ones. A mm to he good must have a beautiful color, good shape, good foliar and must be a good grow er, free bloomer, hardy sad dis ease resistant. The following are a few of the best that the writer has tried. First on the list ft that wonder ful one named Angele Peenet This is a .combination, of grange I and yellow, snd one that everyone falls in Jove wits. Its Jsiiag&is glossy and very food. Another that always attrscts much attention is Madam Ed ward Herript or "Daily t Mail." ThisB a! coppery salmod in col or, ee ' bieomec ana eany rose! It Opens -wen la evaftf a cooi. wet Sftring. Very good adt "easy to grow. These two roses were bred by that peer of all rose Hybtidu- Mg, Pernet Ducher, a Frenchman. He hss given us some 01 sot oesi roses. The Daily Mall, newspaper of England, offered a prize of 11 - 000.00 for the best zpse or tnat year and Ducher won.Jt on his Madam Edward Herriof. and thus it is called "Daily Mall" when one cannot remember the proper name. A god red one is Etoile de Holland. This is one ot the newer ones and should be grown by ev eryone as it is beaatiful and easy to grow. Its parents are General McArthur and Hadley. Its par ents are erood roses too. although not new. Hoosier Beauty ana Climbing Hoosier Beauty are also good. In the yellow class there are several good ones to choose from Golden Emblem, Florence li zard. Fen Joseph- Loogmans and Lady Margaret Stewart. ThS first three are beautiful and have glos sy foliage. A wonderful shade of cerise pink shaded yellow is Mr3. A. R Barraclough. This has a wonder fully large bloom, good shape, rampant grower and altogether the best pink the writer has tried Another two toned pink is Betty alfalfa ranches are most mand now. in de- E 15 H Ml Uprichard. Mrs. A. R. Waddell is a good one" with a different color pink with orange shading. Imperial Potentale is a bright rose pink and is good in every way and should replace Madam Caro line Testaut, as it holds its color well and is better in every way. If one cares for a few single roses you may like Lulu and IsobeU Lulu has very good foliage but Isobel has not, although the blooms are wonderful. Another good pink is Mrs. W. E. Nicherson, flesh pink and yel low with a beautiful long, taper ing bud and good otherwise and very dainty. Shot Silk and Padre should not be overlooked If you have room include a few of the baby or Foiyantna rosea. Baby Doll, Perle de Or, Cecils B runner and Chatlllon are a lew good ones. These are very healthy, good bloomers and usually hardy. They need practically no care. We must sot forget the climb ers, and at the head we will place Dr. Walter Van Fleet, ss it has a pretty bloom sad lovely glossy foliage. Silver Moon is a single white with the same glossy foil age, the suds of which are creamy white and very beautiful. Paul's Scarlet Climber is a bright r-d and its color does not fads for many days, and it stays in bloom a long time. Mary Wallace Is another good pink climber. Its blooms are charming and are little darker ptnk than Dr. Van 4 Fleet. Its foliage is gtwd. but not glossy. Js'one o the .climbers mil dew. . Fran Karl Druschki is perhaps- the hest pure white rose yet in troduced although ieome of the new ones are said to be line.

In landscape design, the for mal hedge is almost indispensable. I ts uses are legion. That Is why most every home grounds can use hedge treatments to advantage. The formal hedge can be used to bound and screen the architec tural garden. It can be develop ed higher than one's head, or, by using certain plants It can be kept less than a foot high. Within tne formal earden one often finds ths low hedze3 bounding the flower beds and garden paths. In the most simple garden hedges can be used to establish the lines and pattern of the design. Watering Watering is advisable mainly as an emergency measure. The 1 v. 1 j . 1... onplntliMl 5 !a ,?l"Ltr V'tu and with Helen at the piano and Tltches abt the plants0 these jin5 in wit J?"

He urged the continued agricultural development of the Bend country and explained what could be done by interesting mill workers and clerks In small tracts of land near town. Mr. Cully predicted that the establishing of egg packing plants in the eastern and central Oregon country will be the beginning of a large Industry. Climatic conditions in this territory are ideal for the development of the poultry and dairy industries, he said.
