$ LOWERS 1 ROM SWITZERLAND—Aldo Marca. young son of
Mr. and Mrs. Aldo Marca. Sr. of Fat Elk Road, shows one of the
lovely Edelweiss wildflowers which grow along the beautiful Alps
in Switzerland. Mr. Marra brought the flower seeds bark with
him when he returned from the Marion Year tour he made in 1950
and planted them here to see if they’d grow. They did. and of
special interest is the fact that the flowers generally bloom only
one season and then die, but this is the second year that they have
blossomed at the Marra home. Mr. Marca also reports that this
is the only part of the country where they will grow. Average
blooming time for the dainty flower is three months. (Sentinel
