- - - . . Wednesday, January 20, 1954 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, Salem, Oregon Page 17 Capital A HOME Violet Should Have Place in Garden; Renewal Possible By MARK A reader'! inquiry concerning how to rejuvenate a bed of vio lets leads us to believe that a discussion of this lovely little plant would be appropos, inas much as the time is not far dis tant when violets can be picked for charming little, fragrant bou quets and corsages. The violet which we common ly refer to by that name, is of the genus yiola, particularly Viola Odorata. Of this genus, the pansy is one of our commonest flowers. Violas are generally perennials with blue, white, la vender or yellow spurred blooms in early Spring or Summer. Young plants do best when set in rich, loamy soil in late Spring or early Fall. Leafmold or com post aids their blooming. To rejuvenate established beds or borders, a good watering with a liquid fertilizer will do won ders. Personally, I prefer a fish emulsion. These plants tend to set runners freely and so to avoid a tangled mass it may be neces sary to lift and divide the clumps periodically or to cut the run ners. There are a number of species of violas, all worthy of a place in the garden, often as edging plants or in the rock garden. Tri color has large, short-spurred flowers in blue, white and yel low and shades, thereof, more commonly called the Pansy. Gra cilis, a species from Eastern Eu rope has starry, purple flowers. Blanda, is a native species use ful as a ground cover over bulb plantings. Canina, the Dog Vio let, is from Europe and has pur ple flowers with yellow spurs. Fedata, the Birdsfoot Violet, has fine-cut leaves and purple flow ers It is a native to Europe and parts of our Deep South where it is commonly called the Vel vet Petaled Violet because one mm MADE TO ORDER Standard Sixes in Stock A complete line of custom built fireplace screens and fixtures.

Roses like a lunnv nnsltinn with rich, well-drained soil and no competition from tree roots or other shrubs. In planting, set the bud union at just below the ground level. When you have dug the hole to accommodate the roots, make a cone shaped mound oi sou in the center of It on which to rest the olant. then spread the Toots out fanwise tak ing care not to bruise or break them. If roots are broken, cut them off. cleanly before planting. nu tne noie about full of soil and tamp lightly to firm the soil about the roots. Then fill the balance of the hole wijh water. When this has drained away fill the remaining space with soil. Tall plants may need staking to prevent being uprotoed in high winds. Usually, though, there is enough root support to hold them in place. Now let's look at a few of the newest in roses: Mojave, this year's ail-Ameri can winner is a beauty in red and vermilion. Lilibet is a delicate pink flori- bunda, quite fragrant and a pro- luse moomer. Tinker .Bell, a miniature rose of rose-pink in true rose form. Twinkles, a miniature in white, shaded pink. Red Favorite, a floribunda with big dark red, velvety blooms in sprays. Centennial, a hybrid tea of pink and gold blend, high cen tered. Lionel Barrymore, light yel low nyDria tea. Rcnae, an appleblossom pink pillar rose that grows about 10 feet high. Then, of course, don't neglect the older roses that are still hard to beat: Yellows McGredy's Yellow; Red, Christopher Stone, Chrysler Imperial; Pink, Helen Traubel, Countess Vandal; Salmon or or ange, Fred Edmunds and for two-toned, Mrs. Sam McGredy and President Hoover. Last, but by no means least is Peace, con sidered by many growers to be the most outstanding rose yet de veloped. It is generally classed as a yellow but varies with grow ing conditions and is often ting ed with pink. In our opinion the above are among the best in the hybrid teas, based upon our own growing experience. Of the floribundas you can't go wrong on Fashion (salmon), Dainty Bess (single, pale pink), Betty Prior (single rose pink). Donald Prior (red.) Another of the older roses is Mrs. Finch, floribunda, true pink with pro fuse small blooms the entire sea son that I have found most sat isfactory. For miniature roses our stand by is Cccile Brunner, which is very prolific with tiny pale pink perfect blooms. Sweet Fairy is another smaller rose that will give lots of pleasure. So, now, let's plant roses! The site of Pompeii which was destroyed by a voncanic eruption in 79 A. D. was rediscovered in 1054. HjcLmlLLorn.

What can I do to help it? The cactus is about five years old. C. Mc. Ans. The common failure of this plant is due to lack of need ed rest. About October of each year place the plant in a cool, dark basement and withhold wa ter for a month. Then bring it into a warm room. Fertilize only when buds begin to appear. Your potting mixture should be equal parts of sand, good loam and compost. Add a little super phosphate (one teaspon to qt. of water) when watering. This may help bring it into full bloom. Q I have a number of African Violets. Some bloom, others do not. What can I do? L. A. Ans. Try watering with super phosphate in solution, one tea- spoonful to a qt. of water. Wa ter about once weekly. Q Why is February the rec ommended month for pruning roses? L. T. Ans. Pruning brings them in to bloom in about 4 months, so February pruning brings June roses. Also earlier pruning may mean that new growth would be frostbitten. Q Isn't it too early to start Tuberous Begonias? R. C. Ans. Yes, however, starting from seed should be done this month. Begonias started from tu bers should be started about April. Q He have a dwarf apple tree. Should the roots forming at the graft union be removed? R. B. Ans. Yes if left to grow and take root the tree would soon re vert to its natural size, losing its dwarf characteristics. Prune off such roots, paint over such cuts with a good tree paint to prevent infection. Q Can perennials be planted now? W. T. Ans. Some; yes. Any types that form clumps may be planted now. In purchasing, buy a clump, if possible, not a division. Divis ions should be started much ear lier. You can plant delphinium and Shasta Daisies now. Q Will you kindly advise me as to what to do about Hydran geas, should they be pruned down and if so, when? S. C. Ans. Hydrangeas should have been pruned back to the 2nd or 3rd eye in late Fall. If you havn't done so already, do not delay be cause Spring growth will start very soon from the remaining buds. Failure to prune will make a very twiggy and untidy hush. tj What are the dilferent spe cies of Primroses and how can they be distinguished? R. M. An.

TAYLOR Color Ii (he Word: Quite na turally garden editors, horticul turists seedsmen and enthusias tic gardeners are continually bombarded with catalogues, mag azines, etc., concerning their con suming hobby, particularly at this time of year. Such cata logues are veritable encyclope dias of gardening many being beautifully illustrated. In recent yean the trend towards more il lustrations, particularly In color has been noted. Some of these are excellent samples of the color photographer's and the printer's art. One of the finest in color photography rcpreductions to come to our attention is the Im proved magazine, Horticulture, published by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. It is America's oldest garden maga zine and one of the finest. With its six pages of true color repro ductions in each issue, it assumes top ranks among the printer's rast. Not a gardening magazine, but one which appealed to this writer as one of the finest examples of color photography and printing yet seen is the December issue of the Arizona Highway Dept. What made this issue outstanding was that every page was in full color. Not only were scenic spots in the state of Arizona repro duced, hut some splendid speci mens of desert cactus depicted in their full bloom. One could not help but want to see these things "first hand" after view ing those beautiful pictures of "Purple Hedgehog," "Arizona Barrel," "Miller's Pincushion," "Tulip Prickly Pear," "Kishhawk Cactus,' "Cane Cholla," "Giant Saguaro" and other cactus that abound in that region. Naturally, our thoughts dwelt upon what could be done similar ly in Oregon with our many na tive plants rhododendron, the Western Azelea, Oregon Grape, Scotch broom and others. Then, too, here in Oregon with our snow capped mountain areas we find a splendid number of Alpine plants to tickle the imagination of the specialist. Wc probably have as wide an assortment of native flowers in Orc;:on, ranging from desert plants to Alpine plants, as any state can boast. It seems that we, too, could do well to boast a little and exhibit our wares through the modern art of color photography and color printing. Open End Loans Held Desirable The open-end mortgage is one of the most inexpensive ways to borrow money for home modern ization. An open-end mortgage is one which enables the home owner, after he has repaid part of the principal of the mortgage on his house, to borrow more money from the mortgage holder and have this additional advance made part of the original mort gage at the original interest rate. According to a study by the United States Savings & Loan League, in 32 states a lending in stitution can safely make an ad ditional advance under an open end mortgage without requiring a new title search. This reduces the amount that the home-owner must pay. Oregon is one of the 32 states. The interest rate on an open end mortgage is often lower than the interest rate on any other type of home modernization loan. Usually, the life of the loan is longer, too, keeping monthly pay ments low. For example, if a home owner who originally had a $10,000 open-end mortgage to run for 15 years at 4'4 per cent interest has paid back $2,000 of the principal after five years time, he is free to go to the mortgagor and ask to borrow the $2,000, or any part of it, back again. If the mort gagor agrees, this additional ad vance is simply added to the $8,000 the home owner still owes. The mortgage still has ten years to run. The interest rate stays at 4'A per cent.
