She hac ficted,' she said that always thi common pear, es- i, feeiaUy seedlings f:e M83"0 gate some of our lovieliest autumn colorings. The shape of the 'pear tree itself was good Its blossoms fa spring were lovely. Too fre- , cjoently we overlook the real val- oe of something because it is eas . By obtainable, she thought If pear - trees were as difficiilt to obtain as a Camelia out of jjapan at this saoment, we would jail be enjoy-, tag the real beauty ' of seedling . pear in our own grounds this au ' Swann.- ' , ? . :-" ' The three of us were seated in the very attractive ! living room to the Lord home. Mfhile out of 'doors, rain and fog were dripping , down," the golds, -bronzes and ' brawns gave the feeling of sun shine within. We were facing the Sally Bush grounds which in them selves gave plenty material for discussion in aututnn colorings. On the Bush hillside were all the trees, and shrubs (discussed that afternoon and many others not touched upon that fwe will leave for spring when they! bloom," Miss Lard explained. - The two women, Whose work . as landscape artists is widely known, were enthusiastic ojver the Red Maple (acer rubrum although in some localities thisf- was not so good this year as in some years. Perhaps the extra dryness of the season contributed scane to its lack of brilliance! they sajid. But even this year the Red Maple is lovely and much more suitable for the borne grounds' than j is the more round-headed, larger! growing Su gar Maple. ;'f'! The Sassafras is Ja , small tree with interestingly alUped foliage, Miss Schryver said, fit takes on a gorgeous scarlet foliage in autumn. Planting of Sassafras has not been overdone in the Willamette valley but the two were able, to name a number of good tree! in the Salem and Portland communities. These . are, said Miss Schryver, a little difficult . to establish but well worth the effort. Thjsir size makes them suitable for' even some of the smaller gardens if any tree can be planted. . j ' In Miss Lord's opinion few trees give such a beautiful color as does the Sweet Gum. This, too, has not been so widely plaited in valley gardens, although it 'does very well here. It prefers a rather rich, moist Wil. j The Scarlet-Oak is one ol the best of the many good trees in the oak family. It is more dainty than its close relative, the Red Oak. It grows comparatively " (when speaking of other oaks) rapidly and it is interesting in the land scape, from the beginning. The pin oak, favorite of many, was not considered as good as the Red Oak by either of the 4wo ar tists. The "down sweeping! habit of growth was not in its favor when it was being considered for lawn or curbing. ;: The tulip tree, with its oddly shaped attractive foliage, gives one some of the best yellow autumn coloring obtainable.' In some lo calities it has become known as the Yellow Poplar because of its coloring in autumn. It, too, grows comparatively rapidly and is beautiful from its beginning. Color - planting, Miss Lord ad mitted, was one of her bobbies and she went in more, she said, for blends than for contrast. Both of the women told of the lovely ef fects which . could be had from planting forsythia with King Al fred daffodils. Too little thought, she believed, ; was given to ar rangement of .color in the garden. In autumn one had a good op portunity to study coloring and can arrange trees, blending from a deep red through the yellow reds, to the yellows, and yellow-greens-back to green. 1 We also discussed the berried shrubs, but that as, novelists say - will have to be left for another story. 1 1 i 1 Wcjghingtbn Outlo oL By the Washington Staff of the : Associated J Press - WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 -P)-The war department reportedly Is getting set for another public blast about faltering production, similar to that which followed Donald Nelson's initial reconversion plan.
