by Bernadette Devlin
The conflict in Ireland, began
in 1,609 when proteStant
Scottish gentry were brought
over for the Plantation of Ulster.
They persecuted the Irish for
being both natives and eatholics,
and from then on neither side
ever quite sorted out religion
Iron politics. This is one
Irishwoman's story about living
in Ireland today with the wicked
humiliation and unjust Violence
that is still suffered by the
people in the north.
Bernadette Devlin crew up in
a Catholic section in Cookstown,
first in a rat-infested flat above „a
milk-bar, and finally in a
government-sponsored house 'in
the Government Housing Trust.
Her catholic school education
taught her Gaelic, Irish history,,
and the meaning of bigotry, She
developed into a spunky
individualist under the influence
of an extremely proud and
independent mother, sparked,by
an equally obstinate
grandmother. Her involvement
in national politics happened by
chance, and it was a matter of
only a few weeks before she
realized she was wasting her time

and the country's money..
The book Is written, not as an
autobiography,. but as an
instrument to help understand
the author's behavior and the
.conditions that exist in Ireiaed-•
Bernadette believes a more:
balanced. economic situation in
the country would solve the
problems, and leans toward
socialism, She believes in
peaceful tactics but will pot
hesitate to protect what she
believes with violence when
necessary,
She takes the reader on a
00-mile protest march from
Derry to Belfast, where in some
towns you are met- with
sandwiches and hot coffee, and
in other -.areas,, with clubs and
stones, She introduces you to
the unyielding PaiSleyites,
followers of Reverend Ian-
Paisley; a protestant minister.
And she shows you one-sided
police justice' .when the
uniformed men stand on the
$i3eliries .and watch the
unnecessary beatings.
The book• is an eye opener. It
is a molting story or a desperate

themselves from the bonds of
economic slavery,

are just crammed full, of

Permafrost," No. 1408;

Gardeners," No. 1081 and
"Growing Vegetables in the

Growing," No. 10/59, offer

information on soil, fertilizer,
tools, seed selection, soil
preparation and many other
aspects of gardening. It has a

small fruits, as well.

This summer take the time to
ook around your
ighbourhood, or visit the
tunic trials at the Plant
esearch Institute's test garden
d you will see why the petunia
' rated as North America's
mber one bedding annual.
tunias are second to none for
ass color effect, whether in
idividual beds, edging, window
xes, tubs or other containers.
Hybridizers have provided us
ith an almost endless selection
different colors and flower
apes and sizes, Colors range
om the softest salmon-pink to
p scarlet-red and from pure
hite to soft cream. As well,
ere, is a vast assortment of
'colors.
There are multifloras and
andifloras—some almost the
ze of saucers, others small and
icate. Some have plain flower
tals; others are waved and
ily fringed. There are
agnificent doubles with similar
aracteristics and single ones, as
ell as miniature forms.
With such an assortment it is
wonder you can never tire of
tunias.
But are you getting the most
om your petunias? With a little
tra care and planning you can
arty double your enjoyment
them. Here are some pointers
at may prove helpful.
First of all, select only
ality F hybrids; they will
oduce more robust plants with
better and more uniform habit,
ore blooms that can be relied
pon to produce the same color
the same cultivar and early
aturity.
Plants that have been started
peat pots will not suffer from
ansplant shock when set out in
the garden if you soak the pots
well before planting and peel off
one side from the top. This extra
start will mean as much as three
to four weeks earlier blooming.
Combine petunias in
plantings with other annuals.
When carefully designed, flowers
in a mixed border will
complement one another and
still give the over-all mass color
effect so popular today.
Make use of the petunia as a
cut flower, Arrangements can be
extremely versatile. Such unique
kinds as the red and white
fringed bicolors, Glitters and
Starfire, the lively Tango, petite
Sugar Plum and the large
flowered maroon and white
Bingo, vivid Coral Satin and
restful Sonata are a few of the
older favorites used by flower
arrangers.
During the late summer when
plants look overgrown and
finished„; eift3,them back to
withiffrgate&Winthes of the
ground. New growth will come
and branch out and within three
to. four weeks you will have
another succession of bloom
that will last until frost.
Before the first killing frost
bring tubs and potted petunias
into the house and keep them on
a sunny port or breezeway. They
will continue to bloom for
several weeks.
If you don't know what kind
to ask for when you set out for
your garden center, here are a
few tested and tried cultivars
that have proven to be superior
for color, prolonged flowering
and uniformity.
The Fl multiflora types have
smaller but more abundant
flowers than the others and are
usually more weather resistant.
Their petals are for the most
part quite plain, but their colors
are very brilliant. They ~ are
particularly useful where large
massed beds of color are desired.
Some of the best are Red
Coronet, blood red; Salmon
Coronet, carmine; White Joy,
Orange Bells, salmon orange and
white throat; Plum Blue, Plum
Pink and Plum Purple all with
prominent veinings; Pink
Profusion with Persion rose
flowers and Polar Cap, white
with yellow veining,
The Fl grandiflora class is
composed of cultivars with very
large flowers that, in general, do
not stand up to prolonged wet
weather as well as the
multifloras. They are very
popular and excellent for
planting in small .groups in full
sun.
The best ones noted last year
were Gay Paris, a peony purple
and white bicolor, with very
large frilly flowers; - Harvest.
Moon, salmon orange; El Toro
red; Super White, huge
spectacular white; Happiness,
ruffled pink; Candy Apple,
carmine red and the whole series
of the Magic types in all colors.
Brilliant grandiflora doubles
are Bridal Bouquet, dwarf white
and Princess, rich ruffled red.
Smaller flowered multiflora
doubles are just now being
prominently advertised in seed
catalogues. Like • the single
forms, these produce more
abundant flowers and will stand
up to the weather much better
than larger, more floppy
grandifloras. The best new kinds
are the Delight series in pink, red
and white, and lavender; Cherry
Tart, red and white; Strawberry
Tart,- scarlet and white; Plum
double, plum colored; Miss blue,
blue and Snowbird, white.
Right across the country
green-thumbed Canadians are
looking ahead to several months
of home gardening
pleasure....and the spading,
seeding, weeding and watering
that goes with it.
In some places along the west
coast, the more favored
gardeners (climatically, that is)
may have already ventured into
their garden plots. In the more
eastern and northern climes it
will be one, two or more weeks
before they can get "on the
land."
Canadian gardeners can grow
a luscious variety of fruits and
vegetables in many parts'of the
country. Even in the far
northern Arctic and sub-Arctic
regions, residents can keep
summer food costs down by
growing such salad items as
radishes, lettuce, beets, chard
and summer turnip. These can
be seeded directly into the
ground, too.
