Stateimaa Ncwi , Sendee
DALLAS Dean Collins, garden
editor of the Oregon Journal, was
the guest speaker at the Dallas
Garden club held at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms Thursday.
Collins spoke at length of the
Botanical Garden for Oregon"
project which is being fostered by
the -State Federation of Women's
clubs. "Three factors, climate, soil
and wealth leads me to believe
that the Pacific northwest is the
place where horticulture will be
developed for the next 100 years,1
Collins stated.
Since the soil in this section of
the country is ideal for every type
of horticulture, the speaker paint-
ed a word picture of the proposed
Botanical Garden of Oregon as the
western replica of the Royal Bot
anic Gardens at Kew, London,
England. There is a great fortune
for those specializing in hybridiz
ing wild flowers.
' Ten minute talks by Mrs. Rob
ert LeFors, "Border Line Bulbs
that Never Sleep" and Mrs. Ernest
Hoisington, "Hold That Border
Kine," concluded the program.
Mrs. John Meeker, Mrs. Art May
' and Mrs. John Cerny, hostesses
served refreshments.
The December 15 meeting will
be a no-host luncheon with a tree
and gift exchange to follow. Mrs.
Lynn McCulley, Mrs. Howard
Fleming and Mrs. Claude Hoising
will be the hostesses.
