Horticultural1Scciety is
off to rousing start "
The Goderich Horticultural'
Society got off to a rousing start
in 1970 at the organizational
meeting Tuesday evening in
Victoria School. About 100
persons attended, many taking
out memberships.
Special speaker of the
evening, George Castle; London,
of GFPL fame talked about the
usefulness of annual flowers in
the garden.. -
Mr. Castle said a garden is
designed to be a refuge ofpeace
.,.:.. tranquility,,... .spot to ,
pteser-ve one;snity. H�caiied
lawns, trees and shrubs the
"framework" of the garden
which 'is brightened by other
"incidental's" like- - • flowers -and
flowering shrub s.
`A miracle for 50 cents',' is .
what Mr. Castle called a packet
of annual flower seeds.
"You can have annuals from
the end of June till' the frost cuts
them," said Mr. Castle. "Annuals
are the connecting link . between
spring and fall perennials."
He urged gardeners to- do a t,
little research on the tremendous
variety of shapes,' -forms and
habits of annual flowers. -•
"Some. annuals are not well
known ' at all, some are • not
known period," observed the
speaker. ° •
He listed some annuals and
their uses: the caster bean which
h can,•reach -heights of 10 feet
and form a•temporary:Wall; the
Mexican fire bush which can
take the place of° a small
evergreen tree; d the hedge
P.marigolds which ' are "dead
uniform" in height; the
perfumed . annuals like stocks,
tobacco flower, snapdragon etc,;
the climbers ' such as scarf'
runners, sweet peas, morning
glorys and evening- glorys; the
everlasting types which make
into winter bouquets such as
strawflower, stutus, Bells of
• Deland,'
"We miss a great deal of
potential garden beauty and
interest if we 'don't keep up. to
date," said Mr. Castle.
He even suggested mixing
some=annu 1s :such-as—candytuft
::and Jate-ow$Ying atvia .and' ;,
regular cornflowers with dwarf
pink cornflowers underneath.
tt-- "Annuals are easily grown
and -flower .well -in even •-poor-
soil," Mr. Castle remarked.
--;hey are undemanding plants."

He did stress the importance
of keeping the spent flowers cut

according.. to President Paul
Carroll .who said there will be

and pest and disease control.
Also planned for the year is a
