MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, APRIL 1 41961 '
FINE EXAMPLE Circus, an All-America flouribunda, is a
fine example of the new race in roses that is winning wide
popularity among home gardeners throughout the nation. Its .
spectacular show of changing colors yellow orange, scarlet, .
'buff, apple blossom pink and red presents a different color
display each day of the blooming season. Its predominant
color is yellow. Circus, which grows- to a height of about 30
inches, is extremely hardy, offering a profusion of clustered
blooms throughout the spring, summer and fall in many
areas. The versatility of the floribunda makes it highly
desirable for a border or foundation plant, to accentuate -walls
or fences, or as a fence in itself. Circus, winner of the
AARS award in 1956, was created by Armstrong Nurseries,
Inc., Ontario, Calif. :.-. -.. :
Plant Plan Advised
For Home Property
It's easy to plant the home
property from a plan and, in
the long run, it is more eco
nomical. A . good plan will
tell you what and where to
plant so you are certain, when
the planting .is completed, to
have a far more beautiful and
valuable property, providing
more 'gracious living than
ever. . -( - : . - ,.;
There are basic steps to be
followed ? in', assuring top
grade landscaping, according
to the American Association
of Nurserymen:
If you are building a new
house, it is wise to consult
with your landscape nursery
man. For older homes whose
landscaping is overgrown, a
plan is just as necessary as
with a new home. Oftentimes,
sound planning of re-landscaping
will save many overt
grown plants. They can be
transfered to locations where
they will serve a definite pur
pose. - :.
Rest Is Easier
Once you have -a good
plan, the rest is easier. First
comes the planting of one or
more shade or flowering
trees,- depending, on the size

easier to mow.

Classified by
Gloss, Solvents
Paints for interior surfaces
are generally classified by the
amount of gloss and byt the
type of thinner or solvent. . .
From the standpoint of
gloss, paints and enamels are .
r gloss, semi-gloss ar flat. From
the standpoint of solvent; to
day's paints . are water thin
ned, generally called latex, or
are thined with odorless min- -eral
spirits, and are generally
. called alkyd paints or enam
els. .-.... . .., , :. -, . ,
' Flat paints are usually rec
ommended for walls in living
- rooms, dining rooms and bed-
. rooms, .and because they dif fuse,
light evenly without
: glare, they are preferred for "
Ceilings.-."- '--.:: '.
Best For Woodwork :
Easy-care, scrabbable gloss
- or semi-gloss paints. and enam- :
els are preferred for wood
work; because of their great- .
; er resistance to moisture, dirt,
steam and grease, gloss and
. semi-gloss paints are best for
: kitchens, bathrooms and laun
; dry rooms. ; . '.: .-;
Latex paints are also often
called emulsion, - plastic or
rubberized and are sometimes
named for their principal res
in: acrylic, styrene-butadiene,
or vinyl. All latexes have
these characteristics; they dry
in less than an hour, are odor
free, show no lap marks, can'
be touched up without show
ing; tools clean with plain,
water.: Latexes can be used
: on previously painted or prim-:
ed woodwork, serve as their
own primer on new plaster
and dry.' walls and can be
used as a prime coat for - al
kyds. v
. Alkyd paints and enamels
are also generally: odorless,
dry in a few hours. They
have greater hiding power,
are tougher and more scrub
bable than latex paints.
. Do-it-yourselfers generally ,
; prefer latex . paints because
: they, are regarded as : being
; easier t apply and there is.no
lap-mark problem.
Other paints that can be
when in flower and in fruit.
. Problem plantings come
next. If you have an unde
. sirable view of somebody's
- back yard-you can use plants
I to shut it off-at the same time
' providing beauty. Traffic
' noises can also be screened
off by certain types of plants
that are sound barriers.

: Heavy Type : ; ''
In addtipn to selecting soil
and stain - resistant- fabrics,
the family with growing chil
dren should choose the type of
' furniture fabrics suitable for
.. heavy wear. No matter how
interesting loose-woven , fab-
;' rics may look,, the yarns us
ually get caught in clothing
' and toys. r '' v. :-
. To keep upholstered furni
ture clean, it should be brush-
. ed once a week with a whisk
broom. Dirt embedded in fab
ric makes it wear out faster.
Of course, upholstered furni
ture should be cleaned profes
sionally once a year.
.-Since the arms of. chairs'
get the- most wear, and are
' often .the first . to . get soiled
. and stained. -. a successful dec
orating, trick :is to have arms
" slipcovers made of the same
fabric to protect them. These
fit over the arm like a glove
and won't slip or slides off,
