' While most of the road bushes along the roadside are small, near the A. E. LaBranche serrice sta tion are two large, veil shaped bushes that are surely things of beauty. A few rods farther on in the O. P. Binegar yard is a mammoth "boxwood tree that is over SO years old. An Interesting fact about this tree is that about two years ago it was moved from'Salem to its pres ent location without any apparent barm. Hock Garden Is EeclaUy Attractive The F. Dick family has just completed a rock garden that is a source of pleasure to the whole community. On the north side of the A. J. Hager house can be seen two beau tiful climbing roses. In the back yard of the A. A. Hager home can be seen an espe cially nice arrangement of colum bine and delphinium. There are flowers in the George Edwards yard from early spring until late fall and at present it is bright and cheery looking with masses of single poppies in bloom. In the W. H. Humphreys yard are white peonies and roses. Mrs. T. Lauderback bas a bed of Val eriana in her yard that is out of the ordinary and in the back yard of the L. Dickman home is a pink rose bush that is exceptionally pretty. , ' On tbe northeast .corner of the D. A. Harris farm near Pudding creek are several unusually large clumps of wild lupins, and from Pudding creek east on the bank along the line fence of the W. J. Culver farm is the most beautiful natural garden Imaginable of yel low wild snapdragons without number. RANGE CONDITIONS SHOW IMPROVEWIENT Further improvement in both livestock and range conditions in the western states occurred dur ing May. due to a good supply of moisture, particularly in the southwest, according to the month ly livestock and range report of the United States division of crop and livestock estimates. Range feed improved during ilay in all of the western states ex cept Montana, New Mexico and Colorado. Feed conditions showed a marked improvement in Texas, ; Oklahoma and western Kansas doe to ample rainfall. In Idaho, Utah, , Nevada, California and Arizona. I feed conditions are much better j; than at this season last year. Sum mer feed prospects are generally very good, with only a few dry f fno's U ,'cw Mexico, northwest ITexas.

There is a coat closet for instance, alongside the front entry. Then there is a neat little study or den where one may hide away from others of the family. A break fast nook big enough to turn round in is arranged between kitchen and dining room. There is a downstairs lavatory conveniently placed. Two or three bedrooms may be fin ished up stairs. This gives a comfortable seven or eight room house, with all the features now deemed desirable. Some may not carelor just this room arrangement; but it is designed to meet the special situation of the lot and the view. The architect indicates that the house fronts the north and east. But is seems to qualify also for a frontage on a corner lot facing south and west. The latter placing would give morning sun in kitchen; afternoon sun in living room and dining room and nook, whic h by the. way is used quite often for evening meals as well as for breakfast.

Lawton Certain plants are sometimes favored for their flowers, but one must not overlook the beauty of leaf, twig and berry. The Privets, so useful for the hedges, have fine, glossy, almost evergreen leaves. They are easy to grow and are much used for formal effects. In the same class are the various barberries, and one. the recently introduced red leaf barberry, is a very showy plant for lending all-summer color to the shrub planting. It must be planted in full sunlight to bring out its color. Several honeysuckles have most attractive, glittering red fruit, much surpassing the blossoms in effect, but one of them, the fra grant honeysuckle, diffuses a fra grance so sweet and piercing that one bush scents the whole garden. All the honeysuckles are fine bashes with very -charming foli age and very graceful form. The. flowers are not very showy except those of Hall's honeysuckle which although it, is a vine, may be us ed to advantage as an nnder shrub or ground cover. Tbe Ninebark, with Its loose, shaggy bark and its numerous in flated seed pods, is most interest ing, and the common Staghoru Sumac is both brilliant in fruit and autumn foliage. The snow berry and Indian currant are charming in fruit and both are yard shrubs for rough places. For foliage and fruits combin ed, the silvery green Oleasters are supreme; tney have peculiar, iros- ty green leaves and litlte olives in all sorts of colors, silvered over with tiny scales. All the dogwoods have gorgeous fruits. The gray dogwood is a handsome, round shrub with white fruits on red stems which are most attractive. The silky dog wood has blue berries and red stems. This whole group of dog woods is very interesting, some, like Golden Twig, having brilliant yellow branchlets which are very showy in winter; others like the Red Osier, are brilliant crimson; besides several with variously col ored leaves. In fact, there are quite a few shrubs which have more or less decorative colored leaves. The Golden Elder is one of these; there are goldenleaved mock or anges, and other shrubs have sil ver edges and various- other mark ings. With them certain color ef fects may be obtained which are more permanent than those ef fected by flowers, but they should be used sparingly. The shrub roses such as the Ru gosas have very attractive rich green leaves. The flowers which appear intermittently over quite a long period are followed by tbe rose lips which are very' decorat ive in their bright red -dress. The large and. bright red fruits ot the highbush cranberry make a bright spot in the late summer land scape. Thus it is seen that we need not choose shrubs because of a single characteristic, for there are many that meet most require ments 'of being attractive the year berries like round. GARDEN NOTES You can shape the 'plant by picking out an inside or an Out side bud. Don't put manure in the hole; put it on top of the ground as a mulch. There are just three easy-to-re-memper principles ot correct planting (1) plant in masses; (2) Avoid straight lines; (3) Leave centers open. , Plant aometning Your pride in your borne and your community is judged by tbe way your place looks. Make it attractive. Don't forget to water thorough ly all trees and plants daring the first summer after planting. !- r Slated to Talk To Garden Club Airs. ,W. I.

Places to i View Today WELCOME IS URGES FOR SUMMER Our little feathered friends will visit us. bringing their beauty and their songs and will soon estab lish permanent homes in our gar dens, if we will welcome them by supplying food, drink and shelter. May trees, shrubs and vines not only possess much ornamental value from a landscape point of view, but have the added value of attracting birds by producing fruit upon which birds will feed. It is more difficult to select a list of plants that will supply bird food in, the summer, than to make a choice for fall and winter food. Plants for winter feeding are, of course, more necessary, but it is also important to have a, supply of summer fruit that will bring the birds to your home grounds when they are plentiful, and teach them 'to expect food and shelter in your garden. The planting ot summer fruiting vines and shrubs will also protect cultivated fruits, such as cITerries, grapes, straw berries, raspberries and blackber ries, and these, as well as flesh fruits, can be further 1 protected by establishing bird baths, for birds often feed on such fruits solely for the water they contain. Some of the best of the summer fruiting plants, successful over a wide area, are: Virginia creeper, Japanese barberry, dogwood in variety, honeysuckle in variety, red mulberry and elder. Some of the above, notably the Barberry, hold their fruit well in to the winter and other good plants for winter fruit are: Bit tersweet Vine, Thorns In variety, Juniper in variety, evergreen, hon eysuckle in variety, sumac in va riety, mountain ash in variety, snowberry and Indian currants, and viburnum in variety. The beautiful humming birds will be encouraged to visit your garden and add to your joys if you will plant their favorite flow ers. Humming birds have long bills and hollow tongues which permit them to search for insects and honey in the flowers of the trumpet vine and such perrenials as monkshood, hollyhocks, colum bine, larkspur, foxglove and mul lein pink. n BUD IT WILLIAMS HOME Where ever you drive today you ill find roses. Some streets fairly glow with the rich colors of the deep pink of the La France, the Tausend, Choen, and the many varieties in shades, from deep yel low to the brilliant, sparkling red of the scarlet climber. For a suggestion begin your drive today at Court and North Church. Follow through North Church and on North Fifth to Market street; cross over to North Summer and follow back to Court; go up Court to Capitol and follow Capitol back to Market street. Turn on Market and con tinue along this street and road until you. can cut back to State street on North 16th or one of these streets right in that local ity. Drive back to State and on the way take in the citations on North 16th, Statesman, 17 th street, 18 th street, and then cross over to the south part of town and take a look at the citations given below. Bon't miss the "Lin den" trees of South 23 rd slreet. You will find the whole drive satisfactory, and notice the cita tions given for particularly at tractive gardens and grounds, or for particularly sincere -efforts - to make a more attractive home out of the surroundings as they have been found.

INDEPENDENCE The Gard en club was entertained at tbe homes of Mrs. George Knott and Mrs. M. C. Williams Monday af ternoon. The time was spent on the lawn viewing the attractive gardens of Mrs. Knott and Mrs. Williams. Children from the training school under the supervision of Florence Quartier gave several pretty dances. The business meeting was call ed to order by the president, Mrs. Cora Berry. There were 40 wom en present, seveal new names be ing added to membership in the club. It was announced that Dale Pomeroy of the Independence garage would run a bus to Port land Thursday, that ladies might attend the rose festival. It was also planned to take a trip June 26 to inspect Independ ence gardens of Interest. At the close of the afternoon a dainty lunch was served by the hostesses. FLOWER SHOW HERE ? . - . Staged Under Difficulties by Garden Club IS REAL ACHIEVEMENT By GARDEN EDITOR Salem Garden club demonstra ted to a finality in the recent Wil lamette valley flower show, what can be done by its members in cooperation with tbe townspeople insofar as creating a garden show that is worthy of attention is concerned. This two day show, of June 7-8, the largest of its kind ever undertaken by the Salem club, and the first one to include exhibits from surrounding terri tory which extended even to Port land, would have been a credit to a club with a much larger mem bership and a much larger finan cial background. The financial ' difficulties were overcome by the active' apprecia tion of a few business houses of the city. The three banks of Sa lem each donated 319 to the good of the cause for prizes. The Val ley Motor company donated its beautiful show rooms and thus saved a large bill for housing. As to the shortage of member ship, intense work on the part of the few, and interested coopera tion of the public made the suc cess of the show possible. The comparatively small number of workers to arrange exhibits, place decorations and take care of the MUCH IMST Ifl FLOWER SHOW HERE Much interest was shown by the visitors at the Willamette valley flower show Saturday and Sun day in the display of rare flowers and plants. The shrub which was awarded the bine ribbon was a Swiss Myr tle with fine glossy, fragrant foli age. It has a beautifully fragrant flower but was not in bloom. A new orange daisy-like an nual, was brought from Sheridan. There was a Phacelia with its gen tian blue blossoms on display; and another plant which drew much interest was the red pods of the Physalis, or Chinese lantern plant. Mrs. M. N. Chapman had sev eral rare ferns on display. A few blooms of our native lady slip pers, cypripedium, which are al most extinct were also shown. Among the beautiful specimens sent in by Miss Sally Bush were blooms from the shrubs Kofwit zia and Kalmia or mountain laurel and these caused much attention.

V Tulip Tree at Independence Has Delicate Charm INDEPENDENCE There is a beautiful tulip tree in bloom on the corner of Third and B streets, on the McElmury place. It stands about 50 feet high and must be all of 40 years old. This tree is attracting a lot of attention for there are very few around here. The blooms are so near the color of the leaves, ohe has to look close to see them. They are some what like a tulip and are a light green, shading into an orange. The limbs have been trimmed off quite high and many pass by not noticing the beautiy of the tree. CADETS COMMISSIONED WEST POINT, N. Y., June 12.

The interior of the show rooms was given a beautiful decorative background for exhibits by the use of fir boughs and the placing of large floral displays not en tered for competition. A large part of this lovely background work was done by one person, W. C. Dibble. There was an unusual feature for any flower show. shadow pictures made in actual flowers and fruits to duplicate paintings. This difficult work was done by two folk, Mrs. W. H. Burghardt and Mrs. L. M. Tarp- ley. Portland's show had only one such exhibit while Salem had at least six. Infinite work was done by the staging committee headed by Miss Elizabeth Lord, assisted by a number of committee heads and their assistants. All this work, the half of which cannot be told, was done by the enthusiastic minority, but the beauty of the results was viewed by thousands during the two days that the show was in progress. The question is now, will it still be the minority who will have to balance on its shoulders the suc cess of' the 1731 flower show. That there will be a 1931 flower show more grand and enthusiastic than the past one. is true with out a chance for doubt. Will a substantial part of the 26,000 folk ot Salem get con structively busy and add them selves to the Salem Garden club and become an active factor in the next "bigger and better" 1931 garden show? There is also constructive work that should be 'done in between now and the time for the next show. There are spots in Salem that need more trees and shrubs; there are spots that need flowers and have none, all these things nd more the Garden club would like to supply and could do it if sufficient people belonged and thereby added finances to the coffers of the club, and working interest to the club ambitions. A garden club membership is a good investment from the stand point of the property owner and from the standpoint of him who is in need of a hobby. Let it be hoped that the Salem Garden club will grow from its present membership of a trifle over a hundred to several times that number very, very soon, and that each of those members will be as enthusiastic for the development of the garden character of Salem as is the present one hundred. EXHIBIT IS MADE S AT PORTLAND 1W Although the Salem Garden club has used considerable time and effort on iM Wiilaniette val ley flower sbftW during" the past weeks yet it managed to have a very creditable exhibit of roses entered for the Portland rose show which has been in progress in Portland the past week. The best and most aristocratic roses were past their perfection of their first blossoms, but some very fine specimens were sent in by Mrs. Myrtle Beecroft of Hood street, Mrs. W. M. Pennington, Mrs. Myron Van Eaton, and Mrs. M. Blair of Marion street.
