Mrs. Fulton Lewis, ST., Tends
Hothouse Victory Garden
Flower CuIturist
Now Concentrates
On Food Program
BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

Washington's reluctant spring
isn't disturbing the Victory garden
plans of Mrs. Fulton Lewis, ST.,
mother Of the radio commentator,
Fulton Lewis, jr. In the little glass
hothouse, which she takes care of
herself, she already has started
lusty beds of lettuce, onions, cab
baee, egg plant and yellow and
green tomatoes, as well as many
other varieties of vegetables. She
has a few flowers, too. Their gen.
eral well-being would indicate she
is successful gardener.
Five garden beds in long, terraced
levels at the rear of her home, 5000
Palisade lane, already are fertilized,
ready and waiting for the magic
moment when the sun shines warm
ly enough to make advisable trans
planting of hothouse paintings.
Meantime, she is generously shar-
ing these hothouse treasures and
her very considerable garden lore
with less experienced friends, the
writer among them.
"AS NVV nIDDOklS.
In previous years, Mrs. Lewis has
concentrated on flowers Two hun
dred ribbons, won at flower shows,
are evidence of the excellence of
her exhibits. She has created a
pure dahlia, named Betsy after her
sons little daughter, which is be-
ing put on the market this fall.
Mrs. Lewis experiments with vege-
tables for victory bring back men,
ories of her childhood when her
summers were spent at Beauvoir,
which should more properly be
known by its original name of Bel
voir, she says. Now a part of the
Cathedral holdings, it formerly was
owned by her uncle, DR.. Samual C.
Busey, Washington physician and
ho"ticulturist. His fancy fruits, to-
mato and asparagus beds and wa
termelon and cantaloupes had more
than local fame. People came from
near and far to consult his gar
dener, George Lusby, on how he
attained such results.

The sea was darkening, but the light

Of Miss Marion O. Bond who has

Allies are going to win as time
will tell. She also claims that she
is optimistic about the outcome of
the war, in an interview at her
Hotel Theresa room this week. he
sides buying War Bonds and
Stamps, she is contributing to the
Russian Relief, because she ad-
mires the Russians fighting abil
ity.
Marion was q years old Satur-
day and is one of the daughters of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ollie BEND of Kan
sas City, Kansas. The other two
are Vivian, senior in Lane Col
lege and Mildred, a senior in High
School. Marion was mlddle-named
Ollie for her father.
