Answers to Garden Questions
Question When I was a
soungster, we had a plant called
'"Job's Tears." We made beads
from the seeds. The flower re
sembles the one I know as Texas
Bluebonnet, doesn't produce the
right kind of seeds. Do you know
it? DN.R.
f Answer Could it be the regular
Job's Tears (Coix Lacryma-Jobi)?
t This js a grass-like plant, how-
ever. It has pearly white beads of
; tears" containing seed; they are
.about Vi inch long. Sometimes

high, if anyone else knows of a
Job's Tears, other than the little
green plant frequently referred to
; as ; such. I'd appreciate hearing
about it
Question What plants would
best use some wood ashes? We
- have a lot, but don't know where
to put them? A. B.
Answer Don't put a "lot"
around any one plant Roses can
use ashes nicely; so can delphi
ums. Very few shrubs object to
1hem, particularly those growing
ju aiat v j u j oa uv M-n,
excessively.
Question Was sent a Daphne
Somerset for a gift but no infor
mation accompanied it Is it a big
shrub? I don't know a thing about
it and can't tell by the little
potted plant I received. Is it an
outdoor plant here in the valley?
R. E. A.
Answer Somerset is one of
the newer hardy daphnes four
or; five years old, I believe. Any
way, its plant parent No. is 315.
It is an English origination and
received high honors from the
Royal Horticultural Society of
Great Britain. A potted plant
should really be in bloom now as
May and June are the blooming
months. The flowers are scented,
blush-pink, star-shaped in clus
ters. It smells like Daphne Cneo
rum or Viburnum Carlesi, re
sembling the latter, in my opin
ion. The foliage is somewhat like
Boxwood. If unclipped the shrub
grows around five feet high and
four feet wide, but it can be kept

Question What about all of
this organic food stuff for plants
and the harm of commercial
fertilizers? Is there anything in

lot in the organic fertilizer associ

mercial fertilizers. The organic

Answer Your letter came just
as I was making up my question
answer list for the week, so
will get it right in. An answer in
four days is prompt enoueh. I
I hope? You are very lucky to re
ceived silver a tar. These are the
1940 Ail-American selection. They
are of a dwarf bushy habit about
one foot tall when mature. Flow
ers are about 2V inches across,
five-pointed, and a soft creamy
white sometimes going to almost
a golden yellow -at the throat I
like these very much, but you
can't always find them at florists.
They should go well with almost
any of your petunias, although I
do not care for them with some
of the deep wine shades.

Question What to do to con
trol caterpillars. So many this
year. Eating everything. C. S.
Answer Any of the poison
sprays will get these. The trade
name one you - mention in your
letter is very effective.
Question There's a sort of
scale like bug or growth on my
pbilodendron. t think it is kill
ing the plant What can I do to
control it? N. T.
Answer. - This is probably a
mealybug, and if left uncontroll
ed, the plant will die, if not die,
or lose its vitality. These insects
are controlled by oil sprays. A
nicotine sulfate spray at 2 tea
spoons per gallon of water, and
some yellow laundry soap added
for a sticker, will also- help. Us
ually these pests appear if circu
lation around the plant is poor,
If there are not many, dip a cot
ton-covered toothpick in wood
alcohol and touch up the bugs.
This will take care of them, too.
In the early days of oil produc
tion, a "gusher" or well which
spouted oil all over the neighbor
hood was hailed as a ttriumph
by a producer, but today, the pro
ducer who fails to control the oil
coming from a new well consid
ers the result something of a disgrace.

Rose Show

WinPlaudits
By LILLTE L. MADSEN i '
Garden Editor, The Statesman
Those of you who missed the rose
show at Salem last week end really
missed something. t
I get rather blase about flower
shows, as I go to so many (and
usually enjoy each one) Certainly
hat- little complaint to make of the
Salem event Naturally. 1 1 dont
agree with all of the judges but
then, listening in on them - as they
left the judging floor, they didn't
agree among themselves, either.
I enjoyed a great deal the "Bou
quet from Grandmother's Garden"
arranged by Labish Meadow Gar
deners . . . The arrangement was
centered around a bouquet of old
fashioned roses including such as
XVOSa sCUhUUMl iuua( M.wom jhwum
t. w: s n t i;vl t-m i
uw Missiun wne . . . uitcu nus.
Mildren Davis' red roses, Blaze
variety in the green, pottery
pitcher, which placed second in its
division. The first place winner in
the antique container division -was
lovely and we agreed here with
the iudses. Red Moss roses and
wine clematis were used together
in a frosted glass vase.
We eabbed a bit with other rose
show attenders, who agreed with us
that the Salem show was far su
perior to the Portland event this
year, although, of course. Port
land's show was larger. jWe even
saw an Ena Harkness rose at the
Salem show more beautiful than
the Portland sweepstakes winner
of the same variety.
j
Three items which drew consid
erable attention for themselves at
the Salem show were Al Lindbecks'
potted Elfe rose, a small rose, re
sembling Picture in formation . . .
a display of Foxtail Lily, which
makes one think of glorified fox
gloves or lupines . . . and a dis
play of peonies. i
The foxtail lilies, in their bril
liant colors, were brought by Mrs.
Henry Carl, and everyone at the
Rose Show was asking everyone
else what they were. 1; found out
early in the game, and 'thereafter
very smugly handed out' the infor
mation to all askers. The foxtail
lilies, or eremurus, are Asiatic
perennials. Sometimes they are
called by the attractive name of
Desert Candle. The flowering stalks
are 4 to 10 feet high, with spire
like racemes taking up two to 'four
feet of the stem. They ire a little
difficult to plant, I've Jbeen told,
because the roots are so brittle.
They should be planted in the fall,
and from 8 to 10 inches deep, in
rich, well-drained soil. They are
very heavy feeders and i those who
have grown them say that one can
hardly give them too much food.
They come into their own in the
garden, when planted ; against a
background of shrubbery.
We see too few peonies on dis
play in the Salem area and it was
nice to find such a lovely one from
the Salem Peony, Gardens at the
show. Peonies do well ;in the val
ley and in spite of rain and breezes
this spring, I have seen some very
fine ones. They are 'planted in
early September and those of you
who wish to add some to your gar
den should be looking; them over
and placing your orders now.
Jost to mention a few peonies
of outstanding quality: Red doubles
Kansas, a bright redj with very
strong stems, selling for about $10;
Ruth Elizabeth, large and brilliant,
the same price; Andyj dark red;
Philippe Rivoir, rich crimson and
fragrant $2.50; Karl Rosefleld,
dark crimson, $1. Pink doubles
Mrs. Livingston Ferrand, pure pink,
$10; Edith M. Snook, ivory tinted
pink with some yellow and green
tints. $8.50; Cathie Ann, deep rose
on 40 inch stem, $7; Nick Shaylor,
blush pin, $4. ;
Those going for around $1.50
Jeannot flesh pink; Lady Alex
andra Duff, very pale pink; La
France, fragrant; Lillian Gumm,
fluffy flower of shell pink; Martha
Bulloch, fragrant and rose shaded.
White doubles: Dorothy, blush
white, very large, $15; Mattie La
fuse, long lasting, fragrant with
ivory and pink tones, $12: Miss
America, semi-double, $12: Victory,
ivory, $10; Nancy Niebolls, white

In many wayside garden stands
and established nurseries, we have
recently noted potted specimens of
the double white mock orange being
offered for sale. If buying be sure
that these are well rooted. From
any reliable nursery, they should
be. Many of the summer wayside
stands are reliable, too. But oc
casionally one finds potted speci
mens of shrubs that prove to be
merely cuttings stuck into wet sand
or soil. Of course, in the case of
the Mockv Oranges, even this
wouldn't be too had, as they root
readily from cuttings but if you
are buying rooted plants, be sure
they are rooted. There have been

shrubs this past week ranging

McCarthy
Freedom, Says
:- GEARHART, Ore. tfl Wiscon
sin's Sen. Joseph McCarthy ''ob
viously intends" to curtail the free
dom of the press, Gordon Sabine,!
dead of the school of journalism
at the University of Oregon; told
the 66th annual meeting of the
Oregon Association of Newspaper
Publishers here Friday.
About 150 newspaper executives
were registered for. the sessions.
Speaking on "Journalism, Jour
nalists and Joe McCarthy," Sabine
said "it is the dut of every Amer
ican to fight against the abuse of
the power of the people and the
abuse of the freedom of thought
and speech and the press."
-I think Senator McCarthy, per
haps without attempting to, has
made more citizens concerned
about what goes on in their gov
vernment which we must agree
is a good thing." Sabine said.
"I think he also has thrown the
spotlight on the general matter of
loyalty to the United States, and
has reminded as that if we get
too complacent, we can do a dis
service to democracy.
"But there ends this man's serv
ice to his country end to us as
citizens."
Referring to McCarthy's exami
nation of James Wechsler, editor
of the New York Post Sabine
said:

powerful public group has attempt
