FOR GARDENERS
Leftover Bulbs
From Mrs. Willard Shelton,
WASHINGTON. D. C..

From Mrs. Willard Shelton,
Washington. d. C.
/ failed to plant my tulip
bulbs last fall. Will they come
up at all if I plant them this
spring (if so when)? II ! don't
plant this spring. viii they still
be good for planting next fall
If I keep them cool in q rels-
lively dry basement?
AnSiDer
Bulbs kept in storage for ex-
tended periods of time use
stored energy to STAY alive, so
you can expect them to die
gradually. Plant them as soon
as possible this spring so they
can produce leaves and begin
Q normal growth cycle. which
includes alternate periods of
growth and rest. The cycle
may not be normal at first, but
after a season or two they will
become acclimated.

When should prune pyra-
cantha. Can cuttings be rooted
and, If so, how is it done?
When is the best time to prune
f1oribunda roses?
AnsDer
Pyracantha can be pruned
almost anytime, but it is best
shaped right now, before rap
i'd spring growth begins. For a
heavy crop Of berries, remove
the wood that fruited last year.
Cuttings can be easily rooted
in moist sand. Propagators
often use cuttings from

Garden Club
Enters Film
On Pollution

The Perennial Garden Club
Of Washington has carried the
fight for q cleaner Potomac
River into the National Flower
and Garden Show.
The club. which is a peren-
NAL first-place winner In the
competitive garden class. fer
sock that event this year TO
present a special anti-pollution
exhibit.
Blue ribbons come naturally
to the club. however, and 1t was
awarded the trophy for the
best special exhibit.
Featured In the exhibit is a
27-minute motion picture en-
titled George Washington's
River" which was produced by
the Public Health Service and
is narrated by Stuart Finley.
The Aim. which Is shown
continuously on a small tele-
vision-sized screen. presents a
graphic survey Of the Potomac's
present polluted state.
Mrs. Andrew Parker, chair
man Of the clubs display, said
club members who saw the film
for the first time last Fall were
absolutely Mortified"
I'VE had no idea things were
that bad" she said.
Shortly thereafter, she said,
the club women decided not to
enter the gardening COMPETE
ton this year, but to present
their polluted Potomac" ex-
hibit instead.
I'VE thought this type of dis
play would be much more
worthwhile. and would give us
a chance to help acquaint the
general public with our dan
gerous river problem" Mrs.
Parker said.
"At first" she continued, I'VE
thought the film was too long
and tried to edit it, but we Just
couldn't find anything we
wanted to cut out.
Just the same, I think If
we can get people to sit down
here for even five or ten min
utes. we will have done some
good. They can't help but be
impressed" she said.

Practical Gorden Ideas

All their efforts were part Of

flower show from bare boards.
One hundred tons Of peat went
into the task. all Of 1t shoveled
into place by expert hands.
Insofar as the blooms are
concerned, their appearance at
the right hour Of the right day
is no mere accident. either.
Their story goes back many
months-some of them almost
a year. Early last fall plants,
trees and shrubs were selected
for this show, and shortly there
after most Of them were in pots
and moved into greenhouses for
scientific forcing. The smaller
bushes and bulbs, too, are a
tribute to the educated fore
sight Of the nurserymen in
volved.
Streams and Lakes
The principle Of a success

cation as well as enjoyment.
This one offers hundreds Of
small garden designs. suitable
for application to almost any
yard. From estate jewellers. to
window-sill gardeners, there is
a fascinating set of ideas avail
able for home consumption.
No matter how humble ones
tastes may be in gardening,
there is plenty to excite the
exotic flower fanciers, too. A
stroll among the orchids is a
thrill. even If the visitors own

which are there in brilliant
profusion, too.
One Of the most pleasing

colors is the abundant use of

A real thrill for thousands

the Garden of Gethsemane, a
40-foot plastic reproduction in
three dimensions of Christ and
His Disciples at prayer on
Mount Olivet. Surrounded by
azaleas, greenery and fianked
by two tall waterfalls, the
scene is one that has attracted
a steady crowd of onlookers.
Major surprise to many
people is the large number

Hail To -Four Glorious Days Of Leisure

is April 4. Now that warm weather is
almost here, all you girls have shown
most obvious tendencies to become lazy
spelled FAT. This sport of SWIM
ming is another word for "opportunity's
knocking" Look at the exercise and
slenderizing it can do for you, besides
all the fun and competition it provides.
You want to make your boy friend
proud with your fine swimming ability
well, why not join Coach Penny Mar
tin at the University pool on April A.
For the first time, Chapel Hill will
hold its own science fair. Today. ap-
proximately fifteen CHHS students will
display their scientific ability in the
form of various types of science pro-
jects. Judges will be from the Uni
versity. Mrs. Martha Atkinson Mrs.
Murie Battle, and Mr.. Donald Bailey
have charge of this affair.
Chapel Hill is proud to announce
that they placed three individuals and
two relay teams on the all-state swim
ming team. They are as follows:
Chuck Norwood, Jimmy Jamerson,
Barbee Alexander, Terry Stapleton
200 medley relay; Jimmy Jamerson,
200 yard freestyle; Terry Stapleton

Although most bunny rabbits don't
like water, CHHS has produced an
exception. Water-baby Jimmy Jam
erson has suddenly turned rabbit. To
the delight of the kids in the hospital,
Jimmy will assist five Y-teenS with an
Easter party tomorrow. Hiding eggs,
finding them, and probably hopping
around will only be a few of his long
cared duties. The five girls with Jimmy
will be Marjorie West, Chris Johan-
nson, Brenda Harvard, Jerry HOenig,
and Kathy Stahlman
Here's hoping everyone has a very
happy Easter and enjoys every minute
of our holiday.
