Specialist Suggests 1
Preparation of Extra
Meals for Freezer
Madison, Wis. Food
specialists suggest that an extra
meal can be prepared for freez
er storage when cooking main
meal dishes such as casseroles,
stews and meat pies.
Such frozen meals can be kept
two to three months and main
tain good quality. After six
months, although they may drop
in quality, they will be safe to
use.
Recipes should be prepared as
usual for freezing, but dishes
containing vegetables or macar
oni should not be overcooked.
Meat pies and turnovers should
be frozen unbaked.
If thickening is necessary in a
recipe, waxy corn flour or rice
is best. Crumbs or cheese top
ings should be added at the time
the food is reheated.
Quick cooling after cooking is
essential for best natural flavor,
color and texture. It also keeps
bacteria growth down. To cool,
put the uncovered cooking pan

most any drug product meant to

This would include topical an

Botanists
Visit Here
Last Week
The flora of the Siskiyou re
gion is "extremely impressive,"
according to Ewan H. M. Cox,
noted botanist and horticultur
ist from Perth, Scotland, who
visited this area last week. Mr.
Cox, who was accompanied by
his son, Peter, who is also a
horticulturist, stated that the Sis
kiyou flora is as "rich" as China,
a region known to be one of the
best plant sources in the world.
The two visitors made a trip
into the Illinois valley area Mon
day, accompanied by Marcel
LePiniec, Applegate, and Frank
Fairweather, Medford. Mr. Le
Piniec is also a botanist and au
thority on rock plants of this
and other territories.
On their trip up into the Sis
kiyou mountains the four men
found a specimen of the phlox
speciosa in a pink shade which
Mr. LePiniec described as dif
ferent from those previously
classified. The botanist states
that the variety is a soft flesh
pink and he added that it would
make "a splendid garden sub
ject." It was named "Coxii" after
the visitors.
The senior Mr. Cox comment
ed that more Oregonians should
utilize native plants in their
home gardens, and Mr. LePiniec
seconded this.
The two visitors left Tuesday
morning for Portland where
the elder Mr. Cox had a speak
ing engagement. He was also
slated to speak at the Washing'
ton Aboretum in Seattle and
planned to spend some time at
the experiment station at Puyal-
lup, Wash., to study soft fruits.
Weather and growing condi
tions in that region are very
similar to those In Perth, Scot
land, it was stated, and the same
soft fruits are grown.
The men previously had spent
some time studying desert plants
near Phoenix, Ariz., and also
were m San Diego before com
ing to Oregon. ,
. Mr. Cox and his son are also
authorities oh the rhododendron,
and recently published a book
on that subject. Ewan Cox has
collected plants with the world
famous botanist, Reginal Farrer,
in Upper Burma, is founder and
editor of The New Flora and
Silva, an illustrated quarterly
horticultural journal published
in London, and is author of
"Plant Hunting in China" and
other books.
Rose Growers
Urged To
Enter Show
Medford Rose society today
urged all individuals who have
roses growing in their gardens
to enter some of the blooms in
the second annual rose show to
be held in the Medford High
school cafeteria June 2. Entries
may be made from 7:30. to 10
a.m. and 'the show will be open
from 1 to 9 p.m.
All those who exhibited roses
last year are asked to do so again
this year. Last year there were
475 entries in the show and an
attempt will be made this year
to aim for an even higher num
ber of exhibits according to
Eldred Peyton, society president.
Mr. Peyton stresses that entries
in the show are not limited to
members of the Medford Rose
society; any amateur rose
grower may. enter. By the term
"amateur" is meant any person
who maintains a garden for his
or her enjoyment and not for
profit, Mr. Potter states.
Disbudding is again stressed
by the society as the rules and
regulations of the show state as
follows: "Specimen blooms of
tea, hybrid tea and hybrid per
petual roses must .have been
grown disbudded. The presence
of side buds, evidence of late
disbudding shall be penalized as
the judges see fit. Side buds are
permitted on blooms of singles,
climbers, polyanthus (or flori
bunda) and other cluster type
roses."
Schedules containing informa
tion and rules governing the rose
show are being printed and will
be made available free of chnrge
at locations to be announced
later this week.
