The students met one every time they decided to sneak out, but they had a grand time. A graduation banquet was held in the Londesboro hall June 29th for the students and parents. It was delicious thanks to the ladies, Then they went back to the school's auditorium where the graduation ceremony was held led by Mr. McDonald. They all stepped up to receive their papers and say good-bye to Mr, McKay, Mr. Jamieson, and Mr. Millson and also to Hullett Central School BY A.R. BUCKLEY The Iceland Poppy (Papaver nudicaule,) a native of subarctic regions, is a very fine garden flower for all of Canada, except where the temperature in summer is too hot or humid. Its delicate, ruffled, saucer-shaped blooms of orange, yellow, salmon pink and other tones and hues, are produced on fairly long stems and are invaluable for cutting. Unlike the perennial poppies, they produce blooms over a long season, for when one bloom is fading.another opens out while yet another is in the bud stage, There's nothing new about Iceland poppies. They have graced gardens since the 18th Century when they were introduced to England from Siberia, Yet the delicate, crepe- like flowers are one of the bright spots of the spring and summer perennial and rock garden. As in the case of the pansy, they are delicate, fragile appearing flowers, yet will withstand quite rugged climates, . Sow seeds in early spring to produce flowers in late summer and again the following year, or sow the seeds thinly in a fine sandy soil or flats in June for transplanting into nursery beds in September. Since they are not always easy to transplant, some gardeners prefer to sow a few seeds in a small pot and then pull out all but one plant after they germinate. These pots are plunged in a frame for the summer and the plants set out in their permanent beds in early fall. In spite of the fact that Iceland poppies can withstand severe cold they are not always dependable as perennials. The heat of some of the Canadian summers is often ,too much for them and they may die out in a few years, Therefore, I would suggest that they be treated as biennials and sown every two or three years. In recent years many good strains of Iceland poppies have been developed. In 1968 in the test gardens at the Agriculture Canada Plant Research Institute in Ottawa, the following strains The last month of school at Hullett Central was a busy one. First of all there was the operetta named ''Snow-white and the Seven Dwarfs." It was acted out four times plus the practices. The play was acted out twice in Hullett's auditorium, once for the parents and secondly for Byussels and Walton schools. Then we went to Huronview and hoped we brought some pleasure to the shut-ins. The Clinton Public School also heard the sound of us. Everyone at •school took home holiday memories of their various bus trips. The kindergartens, grades one and two sent to Pine River Zoo in Grandbend. Grades three and four enjoyed a trip to the African Safari and on their way home stopped at Doon Pioneer Village. .The grades five and six were escorted by rain all the way to Goderieh. They went to the water purification plant, printers, and to the police station not forgetting the jail. The Maitland Block was the They will not grow where mists are prevalent, or in standing moisture or where they are shut out by other plants. Where conditions suit them, all the biennials, perennials and annuals will seed freely and will be in your garden to stay, with no more care than to clean off debris and keep the big weeds out. petalled like powder puffs, Then we must not forget the derivates of the Flanders or Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) so well known in the wheat and oat fields of Europe. Three outstanding strains are the Begonia flowered which have the appearance of fringed begonias, with large double flowers in a good range of colors, the Flanders poppy, red with black blotches and the Rydburg hybrids, that bear double flowers with pastel coloring. Most flamboyant poppy growing in our test gardens last year was Lady Bird. It produced perfectly compact plants with a profusion of black-spotted vivid red flowers from June to August. Seeds of these annuals should Lobb reunion held at site of original settlement The 26th Annual Lobb reunion was held, Saturday July 1st, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Lobb, the site of the original Lobb settlement in 1853.

Grows to 14 inches high, Coonara Strain, Flowering on 18 inch plants during April and June with a fine mixture of pastel shades of salmon pink and rose. Kelmscott Strain, 22 inches high flowering from April to July. A . strain that is excellent id every respect, Good color range of white, salmon, golden orange and yellow. The crop of many blooms begin in late April and reach a peak during the second week of July. Pencilstalk Giant, flowering in April and June on plants 18 inches high. The strain produced a few weak plants in the trials but had a fine mixture of colors including yellow, white, .salmon and orange. Red Cardinal, Grow to 18 inches high and flowers April to June. The abundant striking orange-red flowers on compact uniform plants were the most outstanding Iceland poppies in the test. Sutton's Lemon, Yellow. Grows to 18 inches high and flowers from April to July. A very bright yellow, completely true to type, Sutton's Orange, Very bright orange flowers that gave an excellent bedding effect. Grows to 18 inches high and flowers April and June. Sutton's Pink Shades, Fairly dwarf plants, 11 inches high and flowering in April and June. True to type and color, the uniform compact plants produced a large number of bright pink flowers on strong stems. Tangerine, 19 inches high, flowers April to July, Similar to Red Cardinal, but the color of the bright-orange blooms was not quite so intense. There are other perennial poppies that can be sown right now in June. One of these is the alpine poppy (Papaver alpinum) with the same type of papery, crepe-like flowers as the Iceland poppy but smaller in stature. It has not such a wide range of coloring but is well worth growing as a short lived perennial in the rock garden where its orange and yellow flowers will brighten any otherwise dark corner in June and July. The fern-leaved poppy (Papaver triniifolfum) another short lived perennial, could have been seen growing in the rock garden at the Plant Research Institute in Ottawa last year on the borders of a small pool, where its brilliant orange red flowers were, intensified by the reflections from the pool. Even when it was not in flower its attractive silvery fern-like rosettes of foliage excited the admiration of visitors. Apart from these delightful biennials and perennial poppies, there are many annual types that are no less lovable. In fact many of them have brighter and more diverse hues than their longer lived counterparts. Top of the list is the well known Shirley poppy. A single packet of seed of this strain will bring about the most amazing results. Among them will be every tint and tone that may be obtained between blush pink and scarlet with the addition of delightful grays and mauves, heliotropes and frosted whites.
