NeWelL Marlon County Extension agent, doesn't like the Mexican Burning Bush or Kochia, which wt mentioned in a recent story ... he tells us that "Mid-western folk who know the plant say that under rather drought-like condi tions, it spreads to become a real weed problem, and that, with our moisture tt might be serious." He alse adds that It might be lira problem at it la "greasy." Seeds of the plant are obtainable in many placet and tt Is pretty to look at ... but If Ben doesn't think It should grow here .we advise against planting it. We don't want any more repetition : at weeds like Scotch Broom, which, though very pretty, has be come a nuisance In the valley and wasn't, we are told, a native . . . although it certainly has gone native. WE GO VISITING-We visited with the.Inglewood Garden Club . this past week, when Mrs. Charles Sprague was hostess at a morn ing coffee hour. . The members in this club, we found, knew aa awful lot about down to earth gardening. Here are just a few of the things wa heard over our cup of coffee and apple ttrudel: Erythrorniuma just couldn't be better than they have been this spring in the Fred Zimmerman garden on E. $78 Statesman street ... There's nothing that goes native much better than rhododen- ' dron and azaleas (the degree-of nativeness' to be within reason, of course) with narcissuses and daffodils growing beneath them. Hardy native cyclamen (Bird Hills to most of u does very well when transplanted if not pampered too much. A little pampering, and the plants are larger and so are trie bloom. Too much pamper ing, and there is neither plant nor bloom , . , Camellias have done usually jWell this spring . . . Even Pink Perfection, which is ' usually so far from "perfection," ha been good. All of which in dicates that a little frost, as we had last year, seemingly did not harm them . . . Also that if your camellia did freeze down, don't . - give up, it might coma again. One plant which froae and showed no sign of returning for two years, finally came up and is doing ' nicely now ... of course, if this had been a budded or grafted variety, the arower would hist hava the root stock . . . And an other thing wa noticed was that these women there we're 1 of thejn bandied Latin and botanical names around just as if they were one syllable words used in everyday table-talk. 1J was a love- ly meeting and we enjoyed tt so much '. . besides learning tot which we aren't going to tell you all at once, -AND NOW ITS TIME TO be getting those fall asters or mkbaelmas daisies underway. They are easy to grow and a hardy, dependable source of bloom to bridge the gsp between . summer-flowering annuals and perennials, snd climax the chry santhemums. In fact, they run Into the chrysanthemum season and continue right on until frost, ' Spring Is the preferred planting time, although -all alters may -be set out any time they can be kepi moist and growing Set the plant two feet apart, and pinch out the end of each shoot when growth measures six Inches. The plant are at their best when pruned to three canes per plant. Each 'branch 1 then pinched back when eight to 10 inches long, and . a third .time when IS inches. Water In a light application of commercial fertilizer in late May and repeat one or twice before the plant are in bud. ' I Tile Has Many Uses for Homemakers i ' j 1 '" - .- .... '.
