A busy Montreal radiologist is pursuing a hobby during the winter months that he claims is the perfect antidote for his nor- mally pressure-filled day. He grows miniature roses indoors, as pot plants, and delights in the fact that these dainty flow- ers -- even smaller than sweet- heart roses can be coaxed into glorious bloom despite the long grey days of winter and unnatural environment. Dr. Norman Brown has grown adult-type roses in his garden for many years and became in- terested in growing miniatures indoors after reading Ralph S. Moore's book "All About Minia- ture Roses". Now he is so en- thusiastic about it that he rec- omrnends the hobby to anyone looking for one that is relaxing, relatively easy to get underway and not too time consuming. Miniature roses, as such, are not new. They were "discover- ed" about 1810 on the Island of Mauritius and have been on and off the gardening scene many times since. At this particular point in time they are very popular and about 85 varieties of plants, in a range of colors, are being imported from many places outside Canada, includ- ing the United States and Scan- dinavia, and sold through gar- den centres. However, much of Dr. Brown's satisfaction derives from growing them from cuttings tak- en from existing, healthy plants The method he follows is to plant about 10 slips in a well- drained container approximate- ly 9" long x 3" wide x 6" deep, two-thirds filled with a mixture of course sand, Perlite or ver- miculite. Each slip is dipped in rooting hormone powder, before planting, and the trench well watered. Plymouth Valiant Signet 2-door Sedan: 108" wheelbase. At this stage, It is particu- larly important to keep the soil moist, and Dr. Brown uses a simple and effective method. He inserts the container into a cleat polythene bag (one With, Out holes) and secures it tightly with an elastic band to make an airtight seal. This eliminates evaporation. Droplets form on the plastic and slight fogging occurs, indicating that the high humidity needed is being main , tained. The tiny "greenhouse" isleft undisturbed for three weeks, when the rooted plants are rea- dy to be transplanted to 2" pots. As they grow taller, they can be transplanted to 4" and 6" pots, It is recommended that they be nourished by watering them with a solution of one tablespoon of "Plant-Treat" 20-20-20 per gallon of water every two weeks, one cup of solution per pot, or, alterna- tively, working a teaspoohful per 6" pot of "Evergreen" 6-9- 6 into the surface of the soil every four weeks, Like most flowering plants, miniature roses require more sunlight than is normally avail- able during the winter months and the use of controlled arti- ficial light is generally accept- ed as the most reliable source, Fluorescent tubes are a good choice, and the fixture and tube may be obtained from a lamp supplier. Once the day- light becomes longer, normal- ly mid-February, and the plants are blooming, they can be placed on a sunny window ledge. One of the most interesting aspects of miniature rose grow- ing is that because of their mix- ed ancestry they may be a con- glomeration of many character- istics, miniature and otherwise. Some have coarse foliage and large flowers; others have rela- tively small leaves and flowers, The "Red Imp" flower, fox in- stance, is a mere half-inch in diameter, while the "Yellow Doll" is or slightly larger. Some exhibit a very upright growth habit, others tend to sprawl, while still others may develop heavier than average diameter canes yet remain short, quite dwarf plants. How- ever, this unpredictability is another reason why miniature rose growing is a fascinating and continuing hobby. When they have finished blooming in the house, Dr. Brown says he then transplants them to a sunny part of the gar- den. A rock garden provides an ideal setting for "minies" be- cause they are not overwhelm- ed by surrounding plants and can be appreciated for their own individual charm ... which is out of all proportion to their size! Nurses' training for local girls Several W.D.H.S. graduates left on Monday to begin nurses' training. Sally Galbraith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

The churches wanted reform but did not want to leave the British Empire. In 1921 two ministers were elected to Can- adian politics. To help the working man, labour unions and farmer co-operatives were form- ed. They needed this legisla- tion for legality. Mrs. Milian Moore read spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. R.
