HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1964-11-05, Page 9CANDLE MAKING IS A HOBBY
SUITED TO THE WHOLE FAMILY
A few words of caution:
Never melt wax over., direct heat, always use a double boiler arrangement.
Do not pour hot wax doWn sink drain; it can cause clogging.
Do not leave the room while wax is melting on stove.
Keep pans of melted wax at back of stove so that it cannot spill on your feat
' Urge small children to stay out of work area until candle has been poured.
If wax should flash into flame, cover melting pot with foil pie plate, or saucepan
top, and throw on baking soda, or use a small aerosol bomb fire extinguisher,
Never use string for wicking; even when chemically treated it does not perform
satisfactorily.
Clean-up tips:
Utensils may be placed in the boiler and heated until free of wax then removed
and washed in hot water and detergent. Set boiler aside to cool and skim off the
surface wax which forms. Boiler can then be washed in hot water and detergent
as well.
Remove wax drippings from linens and rugs by letting wax harden, then scraping
off the surface wax with a knife and washing the spot with verso'. Heat tends to set
stains so It is not advisable to use the blotter and hot, iron method of,removal.

October and earlY November is the 6ie for
planting gorgeous garden lilies. A few varieties
stored, in winter by corruperolal growers are sold
in stores for spring planting, but they never grow
as well As those planted in fall.
REGINA
A Fine Aurelian Trumpet Lily
Kippen Group SS 5 Goderich
Takes Bus Trip Hallowe'en Party
To Hamilton Held Thuriday
Greatheart Lily
I suppose the biggest advance
occured about fifteen years ago
with the introduction of the
aurelian hybrids. These beauti-
ful lilies are the result of cross-
es between a White trumpet
type and one with orange nod-
ding flowers 'and recurved pet-
als. Now we have them with
large trumpets and • larger
nodding flowers and some with
flowers intermediate between
these two 'types and with more
varying colors; so we have full
trumpet flowers, bowl-shaped
floWers, blossoms with reflexed
petals, outward and upward
facing, as well as the familiar
nodding shy' blooms of older
lilies.
Most notable among these
modern lilies in the test gard-
ens, of the Plant Research In-
stitute are such varieties as
Greatheart, which vows to
seven feet high, with very
large flower heads carrying up
to twenty-five blooms of white
and orange.
Regina, often pictured an cat-
alogues of lily fanciers, is rate-,
er expensive, etill 'selling for
$7.50 a bulb, It has pure clear-
yellow wide-open flowers with
a very light brownish feather-
ing, and is well worth getting
for your garden.
Describe Species
Copper King and Palomino
have the most attractive and
distinctive trumpets of all lil-
ies. Palomino, with pendant
trumpets of a clear buff color,
makes a spectacular effect on
a 'strong :tour-foot stem, and
Copper King, with striking
deep-apricot tones and rich
maroon-red midribs on the out-
eide, will illuminate any dark
corner of the garden.
Limelight is high on my list
of favorites because of its
strong stems, which support a
very 'large flower head contain-
ing large blossoms of beautiful
flowing yellow. Look at the in-
dividual petals and you will see
a feather effect.
Royal Gold and Deart's De-
sire have flowers 'beet describ-
ed' as bowl-shaped, both being
very much like 'the familiar
regal lily in form but of eletar
golden-yellow color.

beautiful varieties as Ruby,

Dark Eyes, dark red with a
deeper center, and Melody,
Meadowlark and Butterscotch,
rich yellows with brown spots,
Order Them Now
Valiant and Red Bird are two
other outward - and upward-
facing deep-mahogany lilies
that make excellent garden
plants, often producing thirty
blooms on a single. stem.
Dillies should be ordered
right now but they will prob-
ably not arrive until the end
of the month or even later. Pre-
pare the soil in advance and
place a layer of straw on top •
in case your bulbs arrive after
the ground has frozen. The
straw will keep the soil work-
able for a long period and may
easily be removed when you
plant the bulbs. You. 'can put
it back again to protest: them
as 'a mulch when planting le
finished.
.Lilies show up best when
they are planted in between
other perennials and banked by
a border of shrubs. They like
their roots to be 'shaded. If
'this can't be done by using
other plants., a mulch becomes
a necessity. Divide only when
they get so thick that they
are hard to look after.
Need Good Drainage
Good drainage is of 'the ut-
most importance for growing
these bulbs. They detest wet,
soggy soils.
To plant the bulbs I like to
dig a round hole two inches
deeper 'than 'the planting depth,
that is to say, for the stem-
rooting lilies, ten ,inches deep,
and for 'the base-tooting lilies,
six finches deep. If you have
a heavy clay soil I would sug-
gest adding 'two in,ches of sand
to the bottom of the hole,
Which. will bring the depth of
planting to. dither eight inches
or tour inches.
A good ride of planting is
to set the bulbs twice Its deep
as the height of the tbulbs; some
small bulbs, then, will need to
be planted only two inches
deep. After platting, fill in
.the 'holes with a mixture of
peat meseand sandy loam,
especially . your soil is heavy
clay,

older gardens; but are now ob-
