MAD SEN Statesman Garden Editor New beds of the All-America Rose winners for 1953 will be add ed to the rose collections of 90 public gardens in 28 of the states, members of the national organiza tion state. Names of the winners will be announced to the public in June, a release from the American Rose Society reports. The list of accredited gardens, published Monday by All-Ameri-car. Rose Selections, indicates a wide cross section of America and includes all possible climatic areas of the CQuntry. Picked by a committee of the country's leading rose growers who inspected and ..approved each location, the list includes major botanical gardens and the nation's principal centers of rose culture. Purpose of the planting program is to provide a convenient oppor tunity for the public to see the latest All-American winners un der actual growing conditions be fore they become available to home gardeners. All-America Rose Selections is an association which chooses the world's finest new varieties of roses after growing them for two years in 20 trial gardens situated throughout the country. Roses that win the All-America title must not onlv be superlative in the qualities of the ideal rose but also prove their ability to grow anywhere in the United States. The gardens in Oregon where the roses mav be seen include the George E. Owen Municioal Rose Garden, Eugene: the Portland In ternational Rose Test Gardens, Washington Park, Portland: and the Lewis and Clark College Me morial Rose Garden, Portland. Other states where the prize winners are to be grown this year are California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Washington, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Caro lina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Iowa, Kanfas. Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebr a s k a, Ohio, New York, Delaware, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Blood Plasma Available at City Hospitals Five units of blood plasma for each of Salem's two hospitals have arrived in Salem to augment the supply of blood provided through the donations to the Red Cross blood bank. Whole blood has been .available to everyone without charge since the bank program was initiated three years ago, but no regular supply of the blood plasma has been available because of armed forces demands. Whole blood is usable over a 21 -day period and if not used in that time is processed into plas ma. The irratiated plasma and an other derivative, serum albumen, have been used in quantity by the armed forces, because they have an indefinite keeping quality. Two pints of blood are required for a single unit of plasma and five pints of blood are required for a single unit of serum albumen. A small reserve of plasma has been available for the last year at population centers where there are no facilities for keeping the whole blood, Mill City, Stayton and Woodburn. While whole blood will be used whenever possible at the local hospitals, the plasma will be available for emergency use. The plasma, as is the blood, will be given without charge except for the hospital service fee. The serum albumen, costly to produce, is available to doctors upon re quest at the regional center and several units have been used in the last year.
