For myself, today I shall try to

Rose Shew Plans TaM
But first, I want to tell you of
a little new plan the Salem Rose
Society has for its , spring show.
Potted roses are to be shown for
the first time here in a competi
tive class. Potting should start
pretty quick new. Members of the
rose society have arranged for
containers of the same size, so if
you wish to enter this division
contact one of the rose society
members for a container. I be
lieve R. G. Brady is chairman of
the rose show and could tell you
where best to get one.
Here in the Willamette valley,
we have not done much with pot
ted roses or other potted outdoor
plants, but there are places for
them and it will be nice to have
this division in our show.
All of Salem's garden clubs are
doing remarkable things to put
Salem on the garden map. It was
nice this past year, when attend
ing the Portland shows, to hear
people remarking about '"how

Questions and Answers
$ C. N. asks about growing a
calla lily indoors. Says she can
no longer garden outside and
wants to know about the potting
mixture and treatment of the cal
la in the house.
Ans.: Like outdoors, the calla
lily, to be successful, must have
plenty of moisture and a rich soil.
As soon as the growth is well
above the ground in the pot, wat
ering begins and must be contin
ued daily after that. The ground
should be kept thoroughly moist
at all times.
A general-purpose potting mix
ture with added rotted cow ma
nure is recommended. When buds
begin to show, application of a
weak liquid manure may be giv
en weekly after watering. A sun
ny window in a warm room is
good. When through blooming,
set the pot out in the ground dur
ing the summer, repotting in early
fall before taking indoors again.
S. S. Y. asks when is best time
to spray for holly scale. Doesn't
like to now, when berries are at
their best.
Ans. March is the recommend
ed month, before the new growth
starts. Follow your directions
carefully. Too strong a spray may
cause your foliage to drop and
consequently weaken the shrub.
Too weak a spray - - and you'll
still have your scales on the trees.
W. L. asks when to plant the
fragrant daphne. Wants to give
one for a Christmas present and
doesn't know if the plant or just
the order should be given, but
prefers to give the plant if pos
sible. Ans.: Daphnes should be well
balled when purchased and will
make lovely Christmas gifts. They
can be planted out at anytime
when they come balled.
F. O. writes asking why none
of us ever mention salal or Ore
gon grape when talking of Christ
mas greenery. And wonders if I
"won't just mention it a bit" in
this column.
Ans.: Maybe it is because most
of us use it and are so accustom
ed to it we forget - - but that isn't
a very good excuse either is it,
for we are just as used to holly
and fir? However, Oregon grape
does lend itself marvelously to
the Christmas decorations and I
noted that quite a bit of salal was
used in the Christmas greens show
sponsored recently by the Salem
Garden club. The horizontal cot
oneaster was also used most ef
fectively. Thanks F. O.
S. G. asks when should the con
ifer everereen t trimmed.
Ans.: What is wrong with right
how when the "trimmings' can
be used for decorations? All con
ifer evergreens should not be
trimmed, however. Some of them
should be permitted to grow nat
urally, with, perhaps, only a lit
tle heading back. Others need to
be trimmed more heavily. Don't
just go out, or don't even just get
someone, to come in and cut up
the evergreens. We see too much
of that. Conifers are precious and
should be treated with expert
care to keep them at their best.
M. G. asks if belle borus seed
should be frozen before planted.
Ans.: Not necessarily. It is
sometimes done when the seeds
have been stored. If the seed is
sown as soon as ripe, it comes up
rather rapidly and the plants do
very well. If you have any older
plants, you will find each year
quite a few little ones in the late
spring coming up around these.
And now - - once again. Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year!
