Wednesday, July 2, 1932 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture (Editor's note: This is one of a series of articles on garden ing subjects, prepared for The Mail Tribune by the Jackson county agent for horticulture. They will be carried weekly during the gardening season.) The main crop of bloom on many of our climbing roses is now about over, so this would be a good time to prune them Some of the climbing roses are ever-blooming and some of them have a spring crop of roses and no more until the next year. The ever-blooming type should be pruned during the dormant season. Those kinds which bloom only once, as typi fied by the Paul Scarlet, can be pruned to advantage now. In many cases these roses are used as pillar roses or are trained over archways. Pruning now not only improves the appearance of these bushes but also keeps them from sending out long new shoots from the top growth which snag a person as he walks by. In pruning, the old canes should be removed more or less completely. Generally, there will be some new shoots coming either from near the surface of the ground or from the lower parts of these old canes. By cut ting back the old canes these new shoots will grow very rap idly and can be trained over the arbor or onto the pillar sup ports. No more pruning should be done until after blooming next year. If the roses have not received much pruning in the past, they should be pruned more lightly as there may be no new shoots coming from the bottom. In this case remove the oldest of the canes and leave two or three of the younger, more vigorous canes to flower next spring. This damp summer has been very favorable for rose mildew and those varieties which are susceptible are now showing a lot of mildew on the new shoots. The simplest means of mildew control is to discard the varieties which are most susceptible. On other varieties good mildew con trol can be obtained by spraying or dusting at ten-day intervals throughout the summer with sulfur. For making up a spray use a heaping tablespoon of sul fur to a gallon of water. It would be well to add to this a heaping tablespoon of 50 per cent DDT for thrip control and a teaspoon of Black Leaf 40 for aphis control. Pickin' Pears ""SSZT By SID HOLLINGSWORTH Veterans of every war and major engagement of the United States since the turn of the cen tury are now domiciled at Camp White. This statement is made pos sible by the arrival this past week of Cpl. George W. Lord, 24, of the 31st Infantry, 1st Div ision, A.U.S. His home is in Portland. Lord went to Japan in 1948 and at the outbreak of hostilit ies was sent to Korea. He was wounded at Heartbreak Ridge and has been hospitalized since then. Lord is a good soldier. There is more than usual in terest at Camp White in the participation in club activities. Groups of veterans with similar interests have banded together for comparison of ideas or the promotion of their special hob by or past-time. Here is a list in the order of their formation: Wheel Chair club, Stamp club; Bridge club; Fishing club, Chess and Checkers club and Contest club. The first club devoted to a special interest was the Stamp club. Stamp collectors gathered informally and then became or ganized under the monitorship of Mrs. R. E. Carley, of Sams Valley, a volunteer worker who has selected this particular group which meets regularly each Thursday at 10 a.m. The regular Thursday night sessions in the Green room of the Briage club are now an ac cepted event on the calander. About a dozen tables are oc cupied at each of these sessions. A handful of ardent Isaac Walton disciples decided to form a club and now each alternate Tueday a score or more make their pilgrimage by bus to the best fishing waters armed with complete equipment provided for them. The Fishing club meets every other Monday evenings. Keen interest is also shown by the chess and checkers play er in their club meetings. The newly formed Contest club met Monday night with a quiz prize as the attraction. A seventh club composed of "rock hounds" is expected to be started : in the fall.
