Mo-s Killed By Chemicals A green carpet of moss can be a delightful addition to a patio or garden, but not the slippery, un siehtly kinds that apnear win- . vited on walkways. You can't seri ne u on, am mnsi wcra 'M. ers that will destroy the mom will also kill other vegetation. Copper sulfate, often called blue.tone. is one of the best agents you can use, with Bordeaux mixture only t little less effec tive. Sulfate of ammonia is good for burning moss out of lawns but not lor destroying moss growing on masonry or wood, gtod old fashioned salt and amnyffium sul famic can bt used a the mots ii not cIom to, or touching, other vegetation. t(;v-; : : .y .j - - ! f SANDER BELTS Portable sander belts become clogged quickly with pitch whea you work on pine, fir and other resinous woods. Soaking the belt in gasoline for five or ten minutes removes the pitch from the abras ive grit and the belt dries quickly when hung up, says the American Builder. Ity LIIXtF. U MADSEN Cardra Editor, The HUleamia GAR DIN GADDINfl - The guild. Hi; took me north this time to the Vancouver, R. C. spring show. I found the show, lovely, but not so (urge as many of ours here In the Willamette Valley. It wa.1 sponsored by the Thatit Club in the Kcrrrwlale Arena . ; . a bout four miles out from the city center, Kermdale lUetl Is pretty little community and the drive out Is past many lovely homes Vancouver, too. had ' suffered from the same frrne which proved so bad lor the Willamette Valley growers. But there was still plenty to see. Much of the planting at the show was from greenhouses-commerlcal and private. In fact there were some nice little greenhouses mem selves on display. 1 couldn't but note how much Schiianthut was used. This flower is so much more lovely and colorful than its jaw breaker name. We do not tee it at much here In our valley as we do in British Columbia. On earlier trips I have noted the extensive use of this flower. Last year 1 scattered a few seeds of the plant in tome porch baskets which need ed a little more color-l was amaxed at how quickly the seeds re and flowered. ' Hydrangeas, too, were used ex tensively, and I was amazed at the great variety of color and the immcnM trusses and florets many of theM plants had. PrimroMt were plentiful, at were also small flowering trees and shrubs brought In for the oc casion. There were two noted garden experts at the show, both of whom answered questions put by visitors there. One lovely entry at the show was placed by the Vancouver Park Board. STANLEY PARK Almost every one who has ever been to Van couver, B. C. has been to Stanley Park, but this was my first trip to : the huge park. One section of the park is maintained in apple-pie order, with planted beds, mowed lawns, lovely rockeries, and back ed by a too. Many more acres are permitted to remain native-and there are well maintained loot paths through this aection. You can wander through thick woods, with: native flowers blooming, beneath; the trees. Now and then you come out to a vii'w of the bay-.-. rat one point is a collecon, of totem polw, colorful and interesting in themselves, The park, too, showed weather damage, but 1 was amazed at the huge sue of the lily-ot-lhe-valley j shrubs. Many of these were ! immenM-six-seven feet tall, 10 ifeet across and just covered with the dainty white bloom. "There are a number" of green houses in Stanley Park, and the visitors are welcome to go In and look about. Here too, schizanthus predominated, although I saw many c I n eraries, primroses, cyclamen. . . . Later in the season, the schizanthus will be flowering out doors, I was told. Tulips were just coming into bloom, daffodils were fading. WALKING IN THE CITY I strolled about the city and I took buses about here and there to see the homes. . . 1 was reminded of Salem's Chamber of Commerce It ' Not a Dogwood Al first glaafe. la baking ever the Dev. tree la Bash's Paster, park. mm Might think tt wat a dagweod. A closer glance, however, abewt the flowert mneh the tame coloring at the dogwood with an en tirely different shape. Note the long petals which resemble devet wlags.ihad give the flower Ita name. The betaaleal name la Davldla. new promOffon program on-bringing beauty out into the front yard. . .'.Almost everywhere, there were huge splashes of color in front of The hornet. Geraniums were al ready blooming outside. Tulips, primroses, daffodils, magaolias . . . all added to the interest which at tracts so many visitors annually to the clean, wide-ttreeted city. In the hotel, too flowers were used everywhere, and I watched ; the employes carefully watering . the plants and removing any that showed the slightest sign of fading. The tame was true of every restaurant I happened in over the , week-end. There were flowers on; the tablet, there were planter;), with potted blooming plants along the sides-there were simple flowers ' everywhere. i I asked about it "Why of; course we have flowers. . . . We,' enjoy them ourselves, and our -visitors always remark about them," was the answer. BACK HOME Salem, as well as many of our oilier Willamette Valley towns are ju.si as pieity-ii not more Mnly we don't seem to provide the color for the passer- by. . . the tourist, who will, like ; I now do of Vancouver, talk of the lovely bloom-and yearn to return to see them at tome other season ! of the year. i I WHICH REMINDS ME - I know many of you have driven ' slowly out Mission Street as well as South High Street this week to see the abundance of bloom in Buh's Pasture. . . . The cherries, ' the crab apple trees, the wild; Ftftt fo See This Week The Blue Diamond and Blue Tit Rhododendrons in bloom on the North side of the State Capitol. Park your car and go take a good look at them. You'll never see anything much more blue. The Japanese cherries on Willamete University campus. The Statesman Garden editor hopes they hold until today. Looking at the State Capitol through their beauty is a sight worth taking time out to do. We are told that this cherry is the Kwanian not available in any number this year at Salem because of the freeze. They'll be plenty again in an other yetr. Other flowering cherries around town especially the Nad ne which is very good now, too. The Dove tree in Bu.sh's Pas ture park. (See feature story on this page today). currant-they've been lovely this week and should be good yet today. I hope many of you stopped and walked into the' park, to tee the Dove Tree 'Davidiai now in bloom. It is an odff" tree, and not too showf, but most interesting. If you enter the Pasture park from the west, off South Hih, up near the roM gardens, you'll tee it. It . is just a little to the north of the driveway. . . . walking is good. Ctntiia Whirl.
