began as starts from friends
and one is from the garden of
Bev’s mother-in-law. Many
o f the more unique colors
are from the well-known
iris specialists in Western
Oregon, Schreiner’s. Bev’s
favorites are a yellow and
purple variety called “Edith
Wolford” and a purple and
white bi-color, “Stepping
Out”. Albert doesn’t claim
to have a favorite plant al
though he is partial to the
irises.
A bank o f hardy ju

round greenery. A row of
curly leafed willows thrive
next to white birch trees and
a locust tree that is original

are “ Paul S carlet” H aw

and green spruce.
At last count, Bev
had 18 rose bushes, but
last summer, the neighbor
hood deer ate back every
rose bloom and they like to
nibble other plants. Albert
has fenced off some plants
and tried running two rows

deer with no luck.

Wrights awarded June Yard of the Month
By Kay Proctor
Albert and Beverly
Wright o f 535 West Linden
Way have been aw arded
June Yard o f the Month by
the Heppner Garden Club.
Albert and Beverly
were country kids who met
at Heppner High School,
married in 1950 and settled
on the Wright’s family place
near Ruggs to raise their
children, David, Dean and
Diana. In addition to being
from a family of early ranch
ers and farmers in South
M orrow County, A lb ert’s
mother was a prolific gar
dener. Beverly has always
loved flowers and grew lots
o f them along with exten
sive orchards, berries, a
vegetable garden and land
scaped lawns at their “old
place” in the country.
In 1997, the couple
semi-retired and moved into
town. On 30-plus acres of
bare, (very) rocky hillside
with white, alkaline soil,
they scraped out a level
site, hauled in loads of fresh
soil and gravel from the
ranch, built a good sized
shop and put in a nice home
w ith a covered deck. They
share their home now with
a friendly cat named Six
Toes.
They brought trans
plants and starts from their
country yard into town in
cluding their many varieties

comer, a rustic, iron head-
board and footboard holding
a bed of straw berries. A cast
iron pot used by the early
Wright family to render lard
now holds colorful petunias.
Other planted annuals are
snapdragons, m arigolds,
geraniums and alyssum in
addition to several hanging
baskets.
One huge bleeding
heart perennial fills up a
good portion o f a flow
erbed. O ther perennials
in the borders surround
ing the yard and home are
coral-bells, daisies, poppies,
hollyhocks, baby’s breath,
lamb’s ear, hens & chicks,
sedum s, yucca, Ju p ite r's
Beard, peonies, columbine,
candytuft, lilies, gloriosa
and basket of gold.
Shrubs include sev
eral lilacs, hydrangea, ar-
borvitae, spirea, snowball
and several healthy crimson
barberries. Clematis vines
clim b near the front and
back door while a honey
suckle reaches around an
arched gateway.
Between the hillside
and their driveway, Albert
built a flowerbed supported
by a long stretch of landscape
blocks. In early spring, this
bed is full o f narcissus and
Beverly also has red and
yellow tulips along w ith daf
fodils scattered throughout
other beds.
Albert put in a soak
er line and Bev runs hoses
and sprinklers all summer
making sure to keep every
thing well watered. Weed
spraying and lawn mowing
are done by Albert now and
both o f them pull weeds
alth o u g h they have had
help doing so last year for
the first time. Bev uses a
water-soluble fertilizer all
summer.
Real teamwork and
hard work by the Wrights
have resulted in a pleasant,
enjoyable yard and home for
them and provided Heppner
w ith two good neighbors.

LIKE FOR LIKE EXCHANGE
You own a rental property
that has appreciated over dou
ble in value. Now, you want to
buy another property that has
about the same current value.
Would it make more sense to
sell the first property and then
buy the second?
Not really unless you want
to pay unneeded capital gains
tax. It would be wiser to con
sider a tax-free swap. In this
way, you would not have to pay
any gains tax on the big profit
you’ll make on the original
property. In fact, you could
keep the excess cash you re
ceive over the deposit you’ll
need for the second property
as a tax-free gift from Uncle
Sam. A swap is a swap and
not a sale.
You can only exchange like
properties (like rental prop
erty for rental property ) not an
apartment house for a yacht or
a private residence. Also, you
must find a new property with
in 45 days and buy it within
180 days. Make sure you have
professional real estate and
legal help. An exchange is not
for amateurs.
