If anyone wants to see what the
simple little flower, petunia, can

the colorful -display
there. ;'
The annual
Stayton Garden
cl'jfr 'petunia
contest has just
been completed
parking planting
pf ruffled CaU- r )
and First Lady i It
petunia planted I
by Mrs. Andrew L-J i-
Fery won . the . . .
sweepstake prize. Mrs. Fery also
grew her own plants from seed
and almost every seed planted
grew and bloomed. Her prize was
a camellia plant, presented by the
Stayton Garden club.
Each year the Stayton club has
this contest with its various divi
sions. Several years ago petunia,
because of its brightness, was cho
sen as the city's flower, and almost
everyone living in Stayton grows
same petunias. Mrs. Amanodus
first in th "f-tinn of
petunia landscape under 400 feetf
and Mrs. Jerry Marking for that
over 400 feet Four hundred feet
of landscape featuring petunias
gives a lot of color and beauty to a
town.
But many of the smaller plant
ings were also lovely, some with
only petunias, and some with mix
ed flowers; some with solid colors
and some with a combination of
colors. Mrs. R. I Stewart took
first on her petunia border under
20 feet, in a single color of petun
ias, with Mrs. Martin Gahlen tak
ing first in the border between 20
and 50 feet and Mrs. Ruth Span
iol in that over 50 feet. . . "
With her colorful combination
of petunia shades, Mrs. . Clarissa
Lfndermann took first place in the
petunia border between 20- and 50
feet, Mrs. Jack Stagney in hers
under 20 feet and Mrs. Dick, Mc
Kay over 50 feet.
Mrs. Frank Sigmond planted
petunias with other summer flow
ers in her small border under 20
feet to win the first prize in her
division, with Mrs. Joe Fischer
taking the prize in the next border
division and Mrs. John Murphy in
the larger.
Uses of petunias in other ways
were, also demonstrated in the
Stayton contest with Mrs. Andrew
Fery placing first as well as tak
ing sweepstakes in the parking
planting, Mrs. Frank Stupka in the
rockeries, Mrs. Ward Inglis n the
porch boxes and Mrs. Raleigh Har

Questions and Answers
V. G. asks if blueberries can be
grown here. Says she is from the
Carolina and has "been brought
up" on blueberries. Has an acre
of ground on which she wants to
plant a few things including blue
berries if they can stand our climate.
Ana.; They stand the climate
here very well. They must how
ever, have an add soil. The soil
should jjot be soggy but should be
able to retain moisture. Add peat
composted leaves, sawdust or al
uminum sulfate to help make the
soil acid. The latter may. be ap
plied at the rate of one pound to
75 or 100 square feet Aluminum
sulphate will not supplant the ad
dition of the other material as its
reaction is only temporary.
C R. D. writes that she has done
a "foolish thing" by copying down
the names of some roses she liked
at a 'rose -show and not the colors.
Included are Ami Quinard, Du
quesa de Penaranda, Maman Co

- Ans.: Ami Quinard is deep crim
son; Duquesa de Penaranda almost

six feet for years. I believe its

usually blooms In February,
March and April here, depending
upon the spring. Early spring

the only time this can be planted
