Garden Club hears about
fey. Pitts' bulb cultivation
There was a very good tur-
nout for the last meeting of
the year, when the members
of the Hayfield Garden Club
gathered at the Municipal
Building on November 9th.
Introducing the speaker
for the evening, Rev.
Douglas Pitts said it was for
him, a pleasurable task to
present Canon Paull, who
was such a well respected
and beloved figure in the
community. A veteran of two
World Wars, he was here to
talk about one of his many
hobbies and thereby
demonstrate that he was, in
fact, a very active concern!
Addressing himself to his
"fellow gardeners" Canon
Paull told his listeners of his
particular interest in the
cultivation of bulbs - a hobby
which was both fascinating
and rewarding since this
type of house culture provid-
ed flowers at a time of the
year when they were most
needed.
Obviously his own
favourite was the Amaryllis
- a large, ugly looking bulb
which in due course produc-
ed - the most exotic and
beautiful blooms. Canon
Paull described the pro-
cesses of planting, care and
storage between seasons,
and also showed
photographs of some of his
most beautiful specimens.
Hyacinths, croci and nar-
cissi were other examples of
suitable bulbs for indoor
culture, and Canon Paull
demonstrated methods of
planting, and recommended
types of containers ranging
from clay pots, specially
designed containers for
water culture, and shallow
bowls filled with stones. In
the case of the. latter, he
said, sometimes the roots
tended to push the bulb up,
and he had found that this
problem could be overcome
with the judicious use of
Scotch tape. During 'the in-
itial period following plan-
ting, Canon Paull, warned
that a cool, dark cupboard
might seem ideal, but the in-
vasion of mice could spell
disaster! Finally, he recom-
mended some experimenta-
tion with different varieties,
of which the supplier's
catalogues offered a wide
selection.
Expressing the thanks of
the members, the Rev.
George Youmatoff said that
everyone,had enjoyed not on-
ly his most interesting talk
on the basics of bulb cultiva-
tion, but the wonderful ex-
ample he presented to all
those with whom he came in
contact.
The last part of the even-
ing was taken up with view-
ing slides taken by Mr.
Lorne Bamford and Mr. Er-
nie Hovey. These included
some `candid camera' shots,
taken during the course of
the Club's trip to the
Botanical Gardens in
Hamilton, as well as some
beautiful and remarkable
studies of flowers and birds.
During the course of the
meeting, president Mr. Jack
Willock thanked those
members who throughout

unstinting support in the im-
plementation of the projects

taken, ranging from

work on Mara Street, the

Lorne Bamford, were leav-

was the Club's first

We are most grateful for
this splendid contribution.
They will be ideal for work
tables from a practical view-
point, whilst their vintage is
such that it is most ap-
propriate for the Old, Town
Hall.
At the moment the floor of
the kitchen area has been
given a fresh coat of paint,
and re -wiring is being car-
ried out in 'order for the club
to be independent and
