i t 1 4 TEN The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 23, 1978 lone Garden Club o ffered tips on starting seeds indoors "There is nothing that succeeds like success in start ing seeds indoors, " said Pat Pettyjohn at the March meet ing of the lone Garden Club held at Norma Rea's home. The speaker stressed that starting seeds indoors is a valuable technique. She talked about seeding media, flour es cent lights and natural light ing and the importance of sterile mix to avoid damp off a good mix being equal parts of vermiculite, milled spagnum moss and perlite, or a package mix, or "one steps", (small disks that ex pand in water.) Many containers are usable, they require 2Vt to 3 inches of depth and need holes in the bottom for drainage. Seeds should be planted 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in the area and moisture, tem perature and light must be controlled carefully. Plants are transplanted after they have a second set of leaves and Vz the recommended strength of fertilizer may be used every 10 days after transplanting. They should be "hardened off" before setting them outside after all danger of frost has passed.' Mrs. Pettyjohn gave each member an individually pot ted alpine strawberry plant as a take-home souvenir of the meeting. Club members changed the April meeting date to Wednes day, April 19 because the Blue Mountain District Spring Meeting will be held in Pendleton on April 12. Members are planning to hold their annual plant sale on April 25. The 14 club members at tending the March meeting followed a pioneer custom of having a stack cake for refreshments. Each one brought a single layer of unfrosted cake (many differ ent flavors) and then the layers were stacked together with applesauce between them and the stack was topped with whipped cream and nuts. It was explained that this custom was popular at pioneer weddings and that a bride's popularity was judged by the number of cakes stacked for refreshments after her wedding.

Stop Smokini Clinic Sunday For anyone thinking they are permanently stuck with their smoking habit, think again.
