It seems to us that flats of petunias, lobelia, etc., are quite a price here, and not being pre pared to raise them ourselves we do not have the great masses of flowers to which we have always been accustomed. M. R. Answer Evidently you are from south of the Oregon border , . . Our climates are somewhat different here, you know. In the climates where you ran scatter all kinds of annual seeds in the fall and they bloom early in the spring or even before the win ter is ever you cannot grow all of the things that we grow here. Each climate has its good parts and its bad parts . , : While there are some annuals that in ordin ary years would do nicely if planted in the fall, they would not have lived through, shall we say, such a winter as we had last yeaf. Usually bachelor's buttons calliopsis, helianthus, gaillardias, Shirley poppies, calendulas, will live over, if the seed gets a good start in late summer. We plant our pansies out of doors now for next springs bloom. w 9 m Question What is wrong with gloxinias? They get pretty near to blooming, then turn brown and fall off. M M M. Answer Sounds like, botrytis. Plenty of air circulation, good drainage, keeping water off fol iage and flowers, plenty of wat er but not over-watering, are some of the preventatives. Pick off all affect d blooms, and burn. There are also sprays and dusts on the market, now, under vari ous trade names, which will cure. , Questions Frequently q u e s. lions are mailed me that are un signed. These are not answered.

Question I've asked a couple of your seed dealers hero for Blue Bottle seed and they look at me perfectly blankly. It was a very common flower back home, and one ot which I'm very fond . . . Could you possibly giro me some other name for it that would bo known here? Or don't you know it either? Newcomer. Answer Truthfully. I didn't recognize this name either, but my good book aaye this is Ba chelors Button or lornflowrt . . . and sometimes it is called Ragged Sailor, Ragged Robbin . . .-It -is a very common flower here a lovely one, although at times it may be a pest in the countryside. f Statesman, Salfm, Off.; Sun., Aug. 12, '56 (Sec.

Enjoy Salem very much and a re following your page for "every step of the way." Now we must know what to do with raspber ries? S. F. Answer Remove old bearing raspberry canes, and all weak or extra new canes. Keep about six new, strong canes per hill. Sup ply a strong support to keep canes growing straight. Burn old canes removed to get rid of pests nd diseases. When Ihe berry vines have been cleaned up prop erly, then apply a 5-10-10 fertil izer to get off to good start. Question What is dodder? C. P. Answer Seed plants parasitic on stems and other parts of cul tivated or wild plants. They are leafless, orange to yellow twin ing vines. The seed germinates, starting a little later than the host plant. The parasite is a slender, yellowish thread with growing tip circling around for support. When it touches some thing, it twines like a morning glory, and if the support is sus. crptiblc it puts out little suckers or haustoria which penetrate the! host stem. The yellow vine be low the first stem coil then dries ' up and there is no further con tact with the soil. The parasite continues to twine and spread orange tendrils from one plant to the next.

The new mode, compounded of Latin and South Sea influences, has emerged during the post war decade. This tropical trend has been generated for tne most part by architects and builders, who, on tours of military duty ranging from Italy to Japan, come to ad mire the informal ground level dwellings that opened their walls to balmy, . picturesque surround ings. Coming Out ef Ihe Caves The airly courtyards and ter races of Mediterranean countries, the sunny patios of Latin Amer ica, the lanais of Hawaii, the sliding partitions of Japan have all made noticeable contributions to the new al fresco spirit of de sign that brings home interiors into closer relationship with their natural settings. Kxpansive use of plate glass had marie it possible to adapt the open style of tropical homes to American standards of comfort. Panoramic . window walls and sliding glass panels, having open ed new vistas in Southern archi tecture, are now ready to revolu tionize the traditionally cave-like houses of the northern climes. The fast growing use of trans lucent building materials is ac companied by an increasing trend toward color tints to control light intensity and tone. Floor-to-ceil-ing windows can be tinted from light to dark green toward the. top to reduce Ihe glare of the sun as it moves toward its zenith. Aqua tones in bedroom window p.; no Is are rnndurive to a rest ful atmosphere, while amber tints brighten the mood of the kitchen, breakfast room, bathroom and northern exposures.
