Colorful Gardens Near Boring
Have Both Wild, Formal Areas
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Garden Editor, The Statesman
BORING Given a cloudless
sky, anytime of the year is nice
in a well-kept garden. Given a
spring day with bright sunshine
and spring flowers bursting into
bloom all over the place, a gar
den in which every nook is prop
erly cared for spells "perfect."
That is the way we found the
Walter Marx Gardens at Boring,
a few miles east of Portland. To
reach it from Salem, we went
through Silverton, followed the
Cascade Highway through Mar
quam, through Mulino ana the up
per side of Oregon City, picking
up the 82nd Street Highway and
turning east at the directional
sign toward Bering. Just as you
pass through Boring there is a
sign pointing you to the Marx
Gardens, which you'll find four
or five miles out on the left hand
side of the road from this direc
tion.. Both Wild and Formal
There are two divisions to the
garden: The wild flower area and
the formal gardens. The final
erythroniums and trilliums were
fading in the woodsy part the dav
we visited the gardens, and the
tulips were just coming into a
blaze of bloom in the formal gar
dens. It is very seldom you find a
more lovely lay-out of formal
commercial gardens than these.
To those who have visited the
gardens in other years we might
aaa tnat new beds nave been
added this spring. The planted
gardens are inching their way
down over' the hillside to the
north making a most beautiful
arrangement. Also a new retail
store has been added to the
grounds, arranged so that it is no
mar on the landscape.
Everything in the formal gar
dens, divided by paths, is labeled
making the trip here both educa
tional and more interesting. And
the gardens are open to the pub
lic every day of the year with the
exception of Christmas Day. The
hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. There
is ample parking space provided
also.
As the tulips fade other plants
in bloom are added to the beds
which are maintained in perfect
order the year around.
Now Iris Time
One of the interesting things
about the gardens is the division
of plant material There is for
instance, in the woodsy place
slats for shade-loving plants. Iris
season is just opening now at the
Marx Gardens and here you will
find an iris for every type of gar
den ... the Gracilpes, the Doug
asiana or the tenuis for the shade
spot; the Junos and Reticulatos,
the Dutch and the Spanish for the
hot dry spot; the dwarf bearded
varieties, the Innominatas for the
Premier Sunday Cross-Word Puzzle

Spurios, the Oriental hybrids, the
Wilsonii, the Dichotoma for the

and streamsides.
New iris introductions this
year in the gardens are Sputnik,
Velvet Teinket and Pinto, all
Oriental hybrids, which were not
yet in bloom when we were there.
White Garden
Brings Added
Night Beauty
White flowers have so many
uses in the garden.
For aesthetic purposes, they
serve as peacemakers between
colors that might otherwise clash.
Gardeners who get most of their
enjoyment from tlftir grounds in
the evening hours, white flowers
are very desirable. Viewed by
moonlight a green and white gar
den is indescribably beautiful. Ex
amine by moonlight or artificial
lighting a portion of your own or
a friend's garden that is domi
nated by white flowers and see
how much more effective the
scene is than where colors are
used in the garden scheme. If, in
addition, your flowers are fragrant,
your pleasure is doubled.
Another advantage of white
flowers is that in many instances
they have been found to have
much higher visibility to those
with failing sight. If you have an
elderly person in your household
whose sight is impaired because
of age, or if a member of your
family has poor vision because of
other causes, plant a small green
and white garden especially for
their enjoyment. Here too frag
rance is an added virtue.
Here are some suggestions for
a green and white garden: An
nuals: Sweet Alysum, Mignonette,
Moonlower (vine), Nicotiana af
finis. Petunia, Night blooming
stock.
Perennials : Lily - of - the - valley
(Convallaria majalis), Hardy
Phlox (Suggested varieties Mrs.
Jenkins; Miss Lingard), Yucca
filamentosa, Gypsophila Bristol
Fairy, Hollyhock, Fleece Vine
(Polygonum auberti). White Plan
tain Lily (Punkia subcordata
grandiflora). Hardy Aster (Sug
gested varieties Mt. Everest;
Mt. Rainier), Hardy Chrysanthe
mums 'Suggested varieties White
Doty; Ruth Hatton; Tasiva; Semi
nole). Shrubs: Philadelphus virginal,

The Velvet Trinket, a selfcolor of
deep red purple without even a
hint of other color, one of the
attendants told us was "most in
teresting." Also new is a dwarf aster. De
butante, which I saw last autumn
in the Breithaupt (the hybridizer)
gardens at Corvallis. It is a love
ly pink blooming on a sturdy
bush not more than two feet
high. To us, these new dwarf per
ennial asters are a great fmd for
late summer and early fall bloom.
This particular one, I was told,
comes into bloom in late July and
continues into late fall.
New Introductions
Two new Japanese Anemones
and a hardy hibiscus are also
among the new 1938 introductions
at this garden. The hibiscus is
George Riegel a large pink, some
what lighter in color than the
older Super Rose. Marx told us
that he had only a very few of
these to spare this year.

In June comes the lilies 'at
Marx Gardens with a special lily
weekend noVyet set. Lilies, like
iris and daylilies, tulips and gla
dioli and dahlias, are a specialty
at Marxes. I believe, next to the
iris, the lilies form the biggest
collection.

Mother's Day
Plant Sale
SUteiman Newc Service
ZENA The seventh Mother's
Day plant sale will be held Friday
and Saturday at Brush College
Grocery on Wallace Road.
Last year the newly organized
Country Garden tCIub took over
the sponsorship of the sale. The
club's president, Mrs. Lloyd Hoxie
has chairmanned the sale for sev
eral years.
The Mother's Day gift depart
ment has been enlarged with a
number of gifts arranged at low
prices particularly for children.
Corsages are made while the pur
chaser waits. All are being made
so that they can be kept fresh in
the refrigerator for Mother's Day.
A snack bar will be part of the
sale.
The stock will feature rhododen
drons, azaleas and many other
shrubs as well as plants in bloom.
Included are 100 Exbury azaleas,
a few roses, some miniature roses
and more than 100 varieties of
chrysanthemums.
Slim Upholstered
Pieces Make Space
Upholstered pieces are newest
looking when they are rather slim
and trim, rather than bulky. Look
for narrow arms, sometimes
trimmed with a flat shaped wood
strip on the center top and con
tinuing down the front. This is the
minimum expression of the ex
posed chair and iofa frame idea
which was introduced tentatively
last year, and which continues with
considerable emphasis. Occasional
chairs have gained a new lightness
through the design Idea of exposed
frames.

where from the entrance one is
greeted with an illuminated divid
er with leaves as a feature, to the
wall paper and accent colors of
pumpkin shades, provincial gold,
antique copper and aquas in flo

The plans of the house is such
that the living area is wrapped
around the patio, making the
patio more in the style of court
yard which is fenced and illumin
ated. There's a barbecue pit and
plantings all around.
Any exit of the house will put
you on concrete walk whether it
is from the family room, utility
room or backdoor of the garage.
The roof is of split shake vertical
cedar, and the front entrance
porch Is tiled from Italian quarry
tile which blends with the Arizona
stone flower box beside the bay
window of the breakfast nook.
The living room is to the right
of the entrance hall, and as one
enters he becomes aware at once
that the Suez coloring blends with
the exterior of the house. Red
Birch is used here and through
out the interior of the house. A
