ALLEN FALL IS the only season of the year for planting bulbs that flower in spring. Few plantings are so rewarding, for bulbs are certain to flower next spring and most of them continue to do so for several years if the CY 7-UU CtaraM- She 11 7 MiUt McMiiMWill.

Daffodils, hyacinths and small bulbs should be planted in October. Small bulbs such as snowdrops, crocus and grape hyacinths are best planted in early October, for these are the first bulbs to flower. Buy not less than 25 of each kind or variety of small bulb in order to have a good display of color next spring.

There is always some place to tuck in another half-dozen bulbs of snowdrop, the earliest bulbs to flower. A group of a half-dozen, each bulb planted three inches apart, grows to' a good-size clump within a few years.

BEFORE SNOWDROPS finish blooming, crocus start to flower. There is always room for more of these too. Yellow, lavender, purple, shades of blue, white and white striped with blue offer a cheerful selection.

Most people scatter crocus bulbs rather than planting them in They are perhaps even more effective against the bare earth of a bed of roses or other flowers than in the lawn. And if they are naturalized in the' lawn, the grass should not be cut until the foliage of the crocus bulbs has turned yellow. It is always a toss-up whether the bright blue blossoms of Scilla siberica or glory-of-the-snow (chiono-doxa) open first. Chionodoxa and crocus bulbs scattered and planted together make a good display. Somewhat later the third of the early, blue-flowering little bulbs open 1 0ouq.tnA, LANDSCAPE DESIGNER NURSERY H.bkt Cites 292-6363 610 N.

Mrs. 0 is a soft-spoken, hospitable woman with extraordinarily beautiful gray-blue eyes.

She loves their way of life and speaks with smiling appreciation of its manv joys. She keeps field flowers and branches of leaves in crocks and tole containers, eagerly learning their names, tends the chickens, is proud of "Captain Crow" the rooster, babies the clutch of dogs and cats, cans and preserves good food, and finds time not only to teach but to execute art commissions. She has painted portraits among other types of work, and, with her husband, was busy much of the past year on a major project involving 480 illustrations for a book on visual language stimulation. Their daughter, Barbara Lippke, is director of special education in the Seattle schools. She created an effective program of teaching language patterns, organizing a set of 480 picture card ideas to be used with the book, Suggestions tor Teaching Language Skills (published by Word Making Productions Salt Lake City, 1974).

"It was a privilege to do the full-color illustrations," Mrs. 0 said. "The first 120 cards are action verb pictures, the next 120 are for teaching color, number and plural concepts, and the next are for teaching prepositions, personal expression modifiers, polars, comparatives and multiple attributes. The final 120 are sequence pictures for verb tense and story telling. "The acceptance of Barbara's program by the practicing speech and language therapists and special education teachers has been overwhelming in the Western states.

It is being used for teaching mentally retarded as well as students with speech problems, and is soon to be introduced into the Middle, Southern and Eastern states." Drawings and paintings by (Continued from page 1-F) moved here to live in 1965. They left their successful commercial art studio in Indianapolisthey are both Indiana natives and bought this small farm property off Highway 48. Although Mary and Scott are of retirement age, they opened "Studio South" in their home, and have been busy teaching and painting ever since. 1 They have good laying Jjens that supply their egg tieeds (with some left over to ell), and raise a few vegetables though their teaching Jnd painting schedule leaves them little time for Z. they learned that no art courses were offered in ie: Hohenwald elementary chool, they offered their 'services and taught there Several years.

are presently teaching "Art for Fun" courses in -the continuing education program at Columbia State Community College, where they as well as their studants held an exhibit last month. They also teach children's classes in their studio at Itome, sometimes taking the "students to their favorite spot as well as their favorite subject: a splendid waterfall clear water rushes Jlown a wide, stair-step rurve of rocks, with sycamores and beech trees making a vaulted roof above it. 2 One can sit on great tree Joots as he sketches, or upon jocks where green moss makes a rough velvet cushion. Mrs. Osterday says not all jHe students paint views of 4he waterfall, commanding as it is.

"It's interesting choose to paint. see the rocks, or the ferns, or sometimes tiny To reach this idyllic spot they must hand-carry paints, brushes, canvases, sketchpads and easels across rough fields and down a slope to the creek bank, back to the falls. Scott and Mary work in oil, watercolor, pastel, pencil, and charcoal, but do not ienjoy painting in acrylic. heir canvases and drawings on paper reflect scenes on their place, spring flow-'ers, birds and squirrels, old houses nearby, aging barns, Jarm wagons, and the fruits and flowers tended by others 'in the area. I "People here are so -I friendly and sharing," Mary said, adding that it seemed "a dream way to live." By way of example, she mentioned the sweet corn which she had cut from the cob as a luncheon dish.

"Our corn didn't come through. They share theirs with us. We have sweet potatoes to give in return." She spoke about their work as teachers. "We are starting classes for children in the seven to eleven-year bracket, and for those from 12 up. These children have unbelievable talent, and they're delightful kids to know.

"We've missed them since we gave up teaching in the Hohenwald school. We want to help them 'polish' their skills, so that they can qualify for scholarships. There is an incredible number of art scholarships available." The original frame farmhouse on their property burned down, and they built the rustic stone house at a little remove from the old foundation. The living areas are on the main level, with the studio and workshop below. Because of the sloping site, the studio also has a ground level entrance under the shelter of a towering hornbeam tree.

Their living quarters, almost encircled with glass windows, comprise a remarkably handsome, rustic room. A corner fireplace where ferns and other house plants are set on its irregular stone facade is generously scaled. The floor is of exposed aggregate concrete, and the center table has a pedestal of native rock. Mrs. Osterday's kitchen area makes an L-shape along two walls, at an easy distance from the dining' table.

Wildflowers create a glowing center-piece, and at each place when she has visitors for lunch is a beautiful slice from a poplar tree trunk, with the bark making a decorative rim and the wood markings left in their natural elegance. These are not merely decorative. They are individual bread boards, cut by Mr. 0, as his wife calls him. On each will be a small, foil-wrapped loaf of home-baked bread, hot from the oven and mouthwateringly fragrant.

And one will be served Mrs. O's delicately translucent watermelon rind preserves, baked turkey, cole slaw, fresh tomatoes, and then totally cozened with home ing day's activities.
