Grandma Landess Creates Mountain Fairyland
Through Love of Nature, f Green Fingers9
By LORETTA; DEHLER
Following the Corvallis-Newport
highway on its winding way
through ' the ' coastal r range, the
traveler sees one weather-beaten
mountain cabin after another un
til just as it seems the neglected
yards and houses must bespeak
a drab outlook on. life in spite of
the grand scenery, he turns an
other corner and there, rising out
of .terraces of flowers and, mosses
above a creek, is a large,' gray,
many-windowed house. . -; , '"!
It is an ' enchanting " picture
created by Grandma Landess,
whose Chief hobby is her ever
interesting garden. ,
! Grandma Landess Is 76 and
her rheumatism makes It neces
sary for her to walk with a
cane bnt there the signs of age
stop. She shows yon her garden,
supplying the name of each
plant tacked between the rocks
or gracing the sloping lawn be
yond. She has between 300 and
400 rock plants, many of them
very rare. They require a treat
variety of soil and care and she
caters to all their Idiosyncrasies.
There never is a time when her
garden is entirety devoid of
flowers, because she Is blessed
with 'green fingers'
She began her present garden
in 1921. Following a fire in which
she lost many priceless heirlooms
inherited from pioneer parents,; at
the invitation of Martin Brown,
a foster son, who was then build
ing the hilltop house, she and her
family came to make their home
with him.
The rock garden was gradually
evolved and began one night with
a stray thought that it would be
nice to have steps leading up in
to the vegetable garden. The next
morning Mr. Brown went to a
nearby quarry to : procure rocks
for the wished for steps.
An interesting coincidence is
the fact that these and future
rocks came from the same quar
ry that supplied the building
material for the San Francisco
Call building, the structure
which withstood the earthquake
better than any other building
in the Bay City.
The first rock plants were a
gift from a friend in Seattle. Then
there were other gifts, slips, starts.
With her interest thoroughly
aroused, she began to seek out
and purchase unusual plants. Her
collection grew rapidly. At first
it was merely for her own and
family's pleasure. Then other peo
ple began to ask to buy plants.
So she gradually drifted into sell
ing, plants. Lately Mr. Brown has
branched out into shrubs. He now
has 40 varieties of camellias.

flowers, . ending at one side 'la

and on the . other to a lawn
-that gradually reverts to nature
as It sidles down to the creek.
, Both Mrs. Landess and her hus
band come from pioneer stock.
uncoin lanaesr parents came
xrom xxeorasKa in 1847 by ox
team. Grandma Landess, who was
Martha Enne, was born near
Molalla in 1867. Her parents had
come west by covered wagon in
1852 from Little Rock, Ark. Her
mother, Mrs. R. K. Enne, rode
a horse across the plains, .driving
the cattle. . '
With such indomitable forbears
and examples, it is easy to under
stand Grandma Landess' outlook
on life and hef wide interest and
adaptability. Her laughter comes
easily. Crinkles of amusement
about her bright eyes are proof
of that. White hair fluffs and
curls about her face and is gather
ed in a soft knot.
There is not much social life
in the mountains, yet life is never
dull for Grandma Landess. Be
side her work and flowers there
Is so much of interest in nature.
Summer before last they found
intense interest in the short but
highly interesting domestic life of
a family of humming birds.
The bright little creatures had
built their diminutive cotton
puff of a nest on a single, slim
branch of a barberry that ex
tended across the glass front
door. Mr. Brown placed a pla
card en the door, asking visitors
to please call at the back door,
and the little family lived on
undisturbed. Inside the house,
every move could be observed
without startling the birds. The
tiny nest, the eggs not much
larger than peas, the two wee
birds that matured so rapidly,
held the limelixbt for weeks.
Besides the foster son with
whom she makes her home, Mrs.
Landess has seven children. One
daughter is in Montana, the others
all live in Oregon.' Wilbur, her
youngest, lives at DeLake and
brings his small daughter, Lois,
to romp in her grandmother's gar
den. Her youngest daughter, Mrs.
Maude Peppin, lives nearby and
helps her mother with the pro
digious job of weeding. A son,
Virgil, also lives in the vicinity.
Her three other children, Arthur
and Victor Landess and Mrs. Mar
guerite Dixon, five "in Portland.
Among Grandma Landess trea
sures is a basket which is 150
years- old and belonged to her
mother; another is her spinning
wheel. But the greatest treasure
is the heritage of strong, simple
faith, love of all God's creatures,
kindly hospitality -and belief in
and love of work.
