DECLARES THEY'RE
U
(Br Maude t. Pool.)
"The wild fiowera in like people
They don't mean much to us unlesa
we learn their namea and get ac-
qelnted with them," explained Mra.
Nelson Nye with tenderneu, aa ahe
' spoke the strange Latin terma for
her varied collection of wild fiowera
and. moaaea at the Wild wood Flower
Oardena, four mllea Below prospect.
She knowa them all. even their per-
aonalltles and complexes, and haa
recognized the rarity of a sleepy-eyed
night flower or a retiring moil cling
ing to a hot atone on the mountain
aide where paesers-by would think
they were trampling on mere weeda.
"It's both my hobby and my busi
ness," declared Mra. Nye. who la do
ing a work ahe lovea. Ahe not only
enablea the rock gardener to have
unusual planta for hie rockery, but
ahe la discovering and preserving the
wild floral apeclmena of thla aectlon
of the Pacific coast for the botanical
world. All of the delicate wild flow-
era grow under the ministering of
thla botanist, who aearchea for the
planta from the lofty alopea of Mt.
McLoughlln to the deep canyona and
ealty aands of the sea beach. No
matter what the native altitude, the
planta take to the rock gardens of
which Mra. Nye haa a multitude cfis
ceding from the green alopea at her
ho-me out to the lower pasture land.
To help the fiowera grow In their
new aurroundlnga, Mrs. Nye mixes
Tour kinds of soil in order that the
planta may aeek their required food.
Planta from the alkali districts are
placed In aoll containing lime or
eshea. Sometimes a plant refuses to
become reconciled, but It soon thrlvee
again after a little adjustment. Usu
ally It needs transplanting to the
lower and more moist sections of the
rock garden, or even shading from
the hot aun will turn the trick.
tn Mrs. Nye's collection of over 300
varieties of aedums, mosses and flow
era, ahe haa discovered that Oregon
poaaeasea some of the rarest and fin
eat apeclmena In the world, with
many yet to be dlacovered. In the
100-mtle radius from which ahe col
leeta, principally In Jackson and
Josephine counties, with some planta
coming from Douglas and Klamath
and northern California, -she found
IS apeclea of Lewlsla Redlvlva. or
bltterroot,- the state flower of Mon
tana. This plant waa discovered first
by Meriwether Lewis, also a botanist,
when he came over the Oregon Trail
In 1805. Back In St. Louis a year
later, he found the plant making an
effort to grow, even though pressed
between the leaves of a book, hence
the botanical name, algnlfylng new
life.
The common brodaea exoldes or
snakehead, the xerophytlum tenax or
squaw Illy, and the wild buckwheat
(race the lava rocka and pumice atone
or the rockeries aa beautifully aa the
more dainty violets and panelea.
Flowers are displayed to a better
advantage by the use of dark rocka.
Sagebrush proudly holds its place
among the rest, and la a novelty to
many vlaltora.
taught In the midst of the native
floral exhibit la a display of many
varieties of the wild flowers' of Eu
rope. Including the bluebell flower
of Scotland. These, not distinguish
able from the native planta by the
untrained eye, were aent to Mra. Nye
from a friend in Auatrle. ,
Mra. Nye haa learned something
ef the configuration of the country
through her atudy, having climbed
Mt. Thellaon, Mt. Bailey. Mt. Kerby
and Whiskey peak. She will visit
Tallowbox In the Applegate thla aum
mer. She haa gathered a few rare
rock formatlona, and these eamples
are a source of Interest to visitors at
her gardens. She boasts a "diamond
mine." a peculiar formation found tn
the Prospect vicinity, and petrified
seaahella found la the upper Apple-
gate country form a unique rock
Mra. Nye tramps over the mountains
In the aprlng to collect new plan,
and In the eummer ah goes to
gather seeds. Her customers are lo
cated In the tar corn era ef the world;
one In New eZaland, others In Aus
tria, Ireland and England, Seeds sre
her specialty, although ahe sella
plants to Portland nurseries, and re
tails a few locally. She also carries
on a mall order business In aeeda.
The Wild wood Oardena, located one
fourth mile off the Crater Lake high
way, where the traveler would least
expect to find myriads of botanical
exhibits, haa been In existence for
four yeara. Clarence Lown of Pough-
keepale, N. Y., father of the American
rock garden, wrote to Mra. Nye for
wild fiowera from thia section, and
gave her booka on rock gardening
Other frienda In the east wrote to
her for a apeclmen from thla country.
and from that start ahe haa developed
a work that, even though the lay-
man doea not know exists In his
county, famoua botanists know about
and have come to vlalt. Botanlats
from New York unlvcrsltlea and other
places have been at Wlldwood Oar
dena. aa have Instructors from the
state college and university and the
southern Oregon Normal.
"It may be Just a fad, or It may
be an awakening to the worth of
our wild flowers, Mra. Nye remark
ed, adding that In the future abe
hopes to establish more gsrdens at
the rear of her home to aupply cus
tomers In order that ahe might not
disturb her show gardens at the
front.

There's a lesson in every bottle of Snider'i Milk. In the
first place, milk is the only food which contains all the
elements necessary to help you grow. It produces enerffy
for working and playing. It builds strong bones, teeth,
and good, firm flesh. If Robinson Crusoe and Friday
oouldn't have had milk when they were lost on the Island,
they couldn't have lived to tell their story , . ,
