Garden Tour Draws
Crowd to Carlton Home,
The Misses Carlton were hostesses
at their scenic home on the Old
Stage Road yesterday morning to 60
members of the Med ford Oarden
club, who called between the hours
of 10 and 12 to view the variety
of blossoms, which add color and
beauty to the hillside, which forms
the setting for their home.
Planted In artistic pattern at In
tervals, broken by green lawn, vines
and trees, the flower beds achieve
a naturalness, which makes of them
very necessary splotches on the
earthy canvass.
Roses, "pinks," with apicy frag
rance; delphinium and a deep blue
flower, which claim t relationship
to the one which adds glory to local
woodlands in spring, best known as
hound's tongue, form a pleasing
border for the lawn.
Covering a little bower, leading
Into the orchard, honeysuckle vines
are found, filling the air with their
heavy fragrance, which dominates
all other perfumes of the garden.
On top the bower a black cat reigns
as weather vane and king of the
garden. He la a metal reproduction
of the very live cat, a cherished
possession of the Misses Carlton,
who also appears in the garden for
his sunbath. The sketch was made
by A. R. Livingston and reproduced
in metal by Mr. Warner of Central
Point.
The rose attracting most comment
from the visitors yesterday morning
Is an Austrian copper, which grows
beside the front entrance of the
house, facing eastward. The open
side of the petals is a' beautiful
orange red, resembling the lavorea
color of nasturtiums. The outside
still retains the yellow of the rose's
ancestors. The Carltons dlscoverea
the blossom for the first time
on their arrival in Medford from
the east in 1915. It had been grown
by Dr. J. P. Reddy. When they re
turned to make their home here
they started the search for the rose,
which waa one of the first planted
at their grounds on the Old Stage
road.
Following the tour of the flowers
yesterday morning the guests were
served a garden product, tomato
Juice, under the shade of the friendly
tree, which shadows tne nac iawn.

Children's Day To
Be Sunday Event
At Presbyterian
Members of the' Jackson county
court are today conferring with the
state highway commission and the
county courts of Douglas and Klam
ath counties, in Portland on road
programs for the three counties the
coming two years. County Engineer
Paul Rynnlng accompanied the coun
ty court.
It Is expected that a definite de
cision will be reached on the Butte
Falls market road and the Dead In
dian market road, two uncompleted
projects that link up with Klamath
county and the Tiller-Trail road, a
link with Douglas county. The Sams
Valley secondary highway will also
be considered.
Douglas county, with the aid of
federal road funds, has completed
most of the Tiller-Trail road to the
Jackson county line. Voters of the
Trail district defeated a special road
levy last November, whereby county
and federal funds would have been
assured. The defeat was attributed
to the special road district taking
in too much territory. The survey
for the road has been made, and
would extend from Trail Junction
with the Crater Lnke highway, to
the Jackson county line, a distance
of about 12 miles. Its construction
is adaptable to early winter work
and would employ in the neighbor
hood of 200 men.

highway commission, yesterday after
noon telephoned the county court.

ployment situation In this county.
