If the, Basin gardeners were to
elect a Queen Bee, undoubtedly
Crystal Cheyne, Box 872, Route
One, would be, chosen. EverVthlnn
from orchids to cactus claims her
attention, but her true love .'Vibe
Kladlola. A chance to visit Mrs
Cheyne'g garden and to bask In
the warmth, of her cheerv wrlrnmo
is one you should not miss it the1
opportunity comes your- wsiv. . '!
Mrs. ' Cheyne ls ono of the real
old timers of ;the Basin. Sne and
her husband came to Klamath
County In 1910. . Tne rich soil of
their farm "Was then covered with
sage brush. There were no trees,
no flowcfs,, no water, Irrigation
water reached the Cheyne place
In 1911. Since then, Mrs. Cheyne
has tried her green thumb on
' many plants, including orchids
The more fragile flowers are
kept In a small Rieen house U
tached to the south side of Mrs.
Cheyne's house. The roof of the
green house is unusual in that it
ls made of a glass manufactured
from alsenine a kind of rock
wool. Instead of the usual clear
glass it is a mottled green and ls
practically unbreakable. The heat
ing is done by electric cables
which run under the benches, and
hv leavln? the door in the hnica
open. . I
Within the cool green room live'
an Impressive array of cactus and
succulents, including the odd-look.
ing Burro's Tail which lives up
to Its name; a whole section is
filled with coleus whose beautiful
velvety leaves have so many
varied 'designs, and finally, but
certainly not least in Interest, the
orcnios. iney are lastened to a
slanting board with small packets
of coarse moss protecting the
roots; Mrs. Cheyne said the moss 1
is not necesary 'for the plant but
does make the problem of water-1
lng easier for her. ;.
The outside garden ls of is much I
Interest as - the greenhouse. Day i
: lilies of exqulsltt'i coloring till the 1
- borders under the huge trees. On ,
the eatable side, great luscious I
raspberries of the Indian Summer 1
variety hang temptingly on the
vines. They are like large red
thimbles.
Out In the full sun stand the !
field of gladioli. Due to the late
season they are just coming into
bloom, . The beautiful lavender
Elizabeth the Queen, the shimmer
ing. Heavenly White, bronae Jalna,
the magnificent red of Burmah
were pointed out by Mrs. Cheyne.
Since Mrs, Cheyne keeps these
gladioli in a separate bed bv
, themselves with no attempt made
to have them landscaped, she
uses a somewhat different tech
nique than the average home gar
dener. Her boys prepared the. ground
by plowing and harrowing in the
late spring In" the stupe fashion
that ground is prepared for po
tatoes. In fact, a regular potato
. hilling machine ls used to line
out the rows. No special fertilizer
ls used by Mrs. Cheyne. The glad
iola bulbs are placed In double
i rows along the tops of the hilled
rows quite close together; about
two inches apart, in fact.
Mrs. Chevne does not lollow the
usual practice of planting the
'' bulbs five or six inches deep as is
sometimes recommended; she
barely ; covers the bulb with r.n
inch or so of soil. This has the ad
vantage -of bringing the btrtlf along" f
faster to its blooming stage since i
it docs not have so lar to travel:
up Into the sunlight. i
ASKCdVl Sne mill uuuuiu nmi
the plants falling over due to their
top heavy blooms, she said that
the depth which thev were planted
did not seem to make any defer
ence, vf Heavy watering would
. make, the deep rooted plants fall
over lust as much as the shallow
; planted ones. No mulcn is used
because of the memoa oi iow
Irrigation used.
In the fall alter the bulbs are
harvested and cleaned, she dusts
them well witht DDT and stores
them in peach crates in the up
stairs portion of her house. Sho
also . recommends using onion
sacks which can be hung up. on
the wall out of the way, ,
The little bulblets are saved and
planted in rows by themselves to
provide , the future crop of
gladlolas. ;- '
As Mrs. Cheyne walked between
Vi rnua. n( (lowers, she stopped
now and then to pluck blossoms
which her deft fingers took apart
and refashioned into corsages as
she walked and talked about, her
favorite flowers.
Her final word as she stood In
home was that the secret of suc
cessful -gardening lay In time, and
patience, and work. Elbow gieape
is the best fertilizer known.
