BEN OBJECTS - Ben A. 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

and continue right on until frost,
' Spring Is the preferred planting time, although -all alters may
