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 AC W bazaar to be held The Annual Bazaar of the Trinity Ladies Guild will be held on Saturday, November 21st in the Parish Hall at 2 p.m. It's not too early for Christmas shopping and as always, there are bound to be some very tempting bargains.
