FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN
THE SPRING
A lovely June first and gard-
ens never showed so much pro-
mise. -.First, tribute must • be
paid to Old wellirotted cow
manure. It .is hard to get these
days, but applied tri the fall,
all oder the garden, it has really,
paid off. Things like aubretia,
perennial alyssum, arabis, iris,
peonies and delphiniums, all
have either prolificated in bloom
or promise a performance which
they have failed to,0aehieve in
previous years. Admittedly
this is n& discovery, but with
all the artificial manures and
humus available In ba'g's, it is
easy to forget old-fashioned
manure and the least litre of
resistance favors reliance on
the former when a little tele-
phony, a little trouble pays
large dividends.
Of all the plants mentioned
above, aubretia seems the least
cultivated hereabouts. It is a
beautiful rock plant and win-
ters well, while in a sunny posi-
tion its rich , blue -red makes
large cushions to offset the gold
dust alyssum, the orange of the
Siberian wall flower and the
whites of the arabis and violet.
It 'grows readily from seed and
is available in several shades.
One, of the many "bargains
from the society's auction, some
seedling delphiniums, have
grown to sturdy plants with a
stem diameter near an inch.
Thinning delphinium to two
spikes per plant is not just
for the exhibitor; it is an ordin-
ary and sensible operation, to
be done when shoots are 12
inches high and is comparable
to the pruning of roses or the
disbudding of chrysanthemums,
peonies and dathlias.
Geum is also very good this
year, the dark orange shade be-
ing quite unique at' this period..
It, too, - is a much neglected
charmer in Goderich gardens
and"it is very hardy and breeds
well.
-"—"Of-th-e- p-etrenntals `vvhielr r -
like weeds here, white violet,
mortensia and lily -of -the -valley,
all seem more vigorous than
usual, The shrub rose;, Fattier
Hugo, which, unless- clipped,
grows to ,a height of ten feet-,
is now' blooming, its golden yel-
low single flowers making a
vast balloon of color.
In ,my experience the Rus-
sell Lupin in hard to get start-
ed- here. Year after year it has
failed until it was given a bed
of clay all -to itself. This year,
its third season since it came
as a -waif from the auction,
it has 20 or more spikes upon
it. Columbine or Agtxilegia is
another perennial which likes
Goderich especially when given
a little more lime than is to be
found i$ the soil naturally. It
offers such charming varieties
of complementary color on pet-
als and spikes, but to get a good
selection of plants it is best to
sow your own seed. Done now
you will have a fine lot of plants
in bloom next spring. Colum-
bine has another characteristic;
it has a long flowering season.
The Prunis is in blossom now
and makes a brave show against
the dark red leaves; the flow-
-ring almond is over but it did
well this year; crab apple is in
bud. Lilacs seem to have bene-
fited greatly from the mixture
of bonemeal and lime they re-
ceived last year. Spikes on the
hybrid varieties are huge and
fragrant. Lilies are well ahead
too, especially such varieties as
Enchantment, Valencia, Destiny
and Prosperity. Brave Dianthus,
sown last year, has weathered
the winter as have the Lacid
pinks. These should not be
moved if they are to flower
well. Campanula Carpatica is
another cushion -like plant with
blue bell flowers most of the
summer and is excellent for a
sunny rockery.
In the wild flower garden the
marsh marigold is over; Tril-
liu-rn still blooms as does the
Huron iris. Yellow Ladyslipper
is 'also in flower and the Queen
variety is coming along though'
stilt' a large - S 11te" Drily;_. -The
yellow violet has acclimatized
itself and the mock solomon's
seal is showing its dainty' white

heads up well•
It would seem that the -winter
losses have been nil. One or
two hybrid tea roses had to be
cut right down but they are
now in leaf. Altogether it looks
like •a good rose season. Rose
bush. feeding should have been
completed by now and spraying
for black. spot should . be in full
swing. Dahlias, and oannas are
headed up'. and ready to plant
out as are -begonias.
In the seed ,department the
most successfu µ line has been
the new Thunmbellina zinnias of
which some sturdy plants have
now been set qut in the open.
Perhaps it is the perennial
elation induced by a fine warm
day; perhaps the continuous
cold of the past winter was a
help, but I still like to believe
that lots of old manure has had
a lot to do with the present
promise in the garden.
Ahmeek I.O.D.E.
Holds Luncheon
The auditorium of the .Royal
Canadian Legion Hall was
crowded for the annual spring
luncheon and card party spon-
sored by Ahmeek Chapter,
LODE, on Wednesday afternoon
of last week.
Guests were welcomed by
Mrs. Guy Emerson, regent. A
pleasing interlude of violin
music by Mrs. Victoria Crooks,
accompanied by Ed. Stiles, fol-
lowed the luncheon.
Winners. of draws made by
Ed. Stiles were: pillow cases,
Mrs. E. Elliott, Elizabeth street;
groceries, Gerrard Store; place
mats, Mrs. Carl Houston. The
Thea town, of Goderich will
be asked to supplement the"
work of the tourist informa t%
bureau by engaging a guide for
tourist parties who wish to tour
the town and visit some of the
special features of interest.
The proposal arose out of a
joint meeting of representa-
tives of the town, Goderich
Businessmen's Association, local
service club's, labor unions, the
Royal Canadian Legion and the
-Winter, Employment committee
which was convened to study
the possibility of obtaining a
combined tourist and industrial
information bureau.
Held at the National Employ-
ment Service office May 28, the
meeting heard several reports
on how inquiries about the
town's facilities have been ne-
glected owing to lack of a s
able peeson being made respo
it -
lucky cup draw was won by
Mrs. James Remington. Win-
ners at bridge were:high, Mrs.
Frank Tyreman, 1V.fary street;
low, Mrs. John- Murison; at
"500." high, Mrs. William Doak,
Keays street; low, Mrs. John
Jerry.
General conveners of the
luncheon were Mrs. Harry Tich-
borne and Mrs. Charles Gib-
bons.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Cummings
and Miss Velma Gliddon of De-
troit were in town for a few
days renewing acquaintances.
They also visited with their cou-
sin, Mrs. Bert Crawford and
Mr. Crawford at Port Albert.
stele for this' ftnportant func-
tion except during the actual
Summer season.
Many Visitors
The meeting learned with sur-
prise that no less than 22,000
persons visited the Huron Mita,
eum alone last. year, and many
busloads have started to arrive
this season.
Visitors to Goderich have ex-
pressed disappointment at Iidt
being able to obtain the kind
of information they require as
to accommodations, places for
large groups to be served meals,
points of local interest and so
on.
The request will be made to
council at the next council meet-
ing this coming Friday evening.
Name Committee ' a
Following up the immediate
purpose of the joint meeting, a
ommittee was named to in-
,vestigate the availability of -the.
proposed site and building, the
former Supertest service sta-
tion on Victoria street.-
The committee consists of -
Robert Shrier, 'president of the
Businessmen's Association,
Councillor Bert Squire and How-
ard Aitken, a member" of the
Industrial Commission and also
of the Winter rimeployment
committee.
Consider Alternatives
The committee was directed
to approach the Supertest com-
pany's' London office with a
view to' finding out what kind
of a deal could be made, " The
committee was also instructed,
to consider alternative sites and --
measures which might be taken
in the event it is not feasible
to obtain the Supertest pro-
perty.
