10-(Sec. II) Statesman, Salem, Ore., Sun., May 4, 58 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 HOUZONTAL 1 Cnm 4&-Re- herbaa animate -8raall 48 Jargon marina 60 F"uli duck .

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).

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. TIia AnamAMi urliiti arjma .

I believe, next to the iris, the lilies form the biggest collection.

Look for narrow arms, sometimes trimmed with a flat shaped wood strip on the center top and con tinuing down the front.

Occasional chairs have gained a new lightness through the design Idea of exposed frames. mi lrL Salem's First Medallion House Opens to Public Salem's first Gold Medallion house (modern all-electric) will be opened to the public today at 3820 Saxon Drive.
