HAPPY FUCHSIAS Our own fuchsias have not been so happy
this spring and early summer ss in some years, but in our gsdding
about we've found an awful lot of good fuchsias. Those we- had
hoped to winter over outside just disappered completely but down
in the gardens of Mrs. P. L. Brown at Silverton, we found they not
only started growth as they should, but are looking unusually
luxuriant Other gardens we have visited give the ssme indications
pom in ana out 01 oasaeis.
One gardener told me that she wss "most careful" in mixing the
oil. She used equal parts of leaf mold, old manure, and loam. She
added that plants in containers dry out quickly and that each plant
should be given at least a quart of water a day . . . but drainage
must be good, as the plants decay if the water , stands around the
roots.
Too, fuchsias are subject to Insect pests, and a monthly applica
tion of malathion or lindane keeps them pest-free, the same gardener
told me.

- SALEMI ROSE GARDENS We had l call this week from a
Sslem woman who wanted to know if the municipal rose gardens
in Washington Park in Portland are "still good." We told her they
were excellent as were also Sslem's . . . She- didn't know that
Salem had such a garden and after all we've been writing about
it. If there are others of you who have miased it, take a hike or
drive out to Bush's Pasture off High Street some evening end
take a look. The bushes came through much, better than expected,
and' they are lovely now. , .
, . e e o- ' " .
MAIL A PLENTY We've been getting lots at letters want
lag as to da something abaat the catting af trees along Salem's
streets . . . We're quite sure it wauld be VERY effective if we
tried to argue a tree cutter ant of his work . . . It hurts as
to see the trees coming dawn, toe, but wa Just shat ear eyes
. aad hope everyklng will look better later , . . Jnst new It looks
bsd, we admit. We'd mack rather have the dice, cool shsde
' trees than the bare stamps . . . Bat it seems the tree were in
, the way af pragress and Sslem la to hara mare tree ef the
' right sort, planted la the right placet later, we are iota.
