State: That old Walrus character in Alice In Wonderland had a saying that is now positively trite but serves to. bring up many subjects for, as he said: "The time has come to. talk of many things." Flowers, especially' roses and iris and art are timely conversation pieces right now. Taking the roses first is quite natural because right now Ukiah rose gardens are at their best. Some of the blooms are so perfect and their coloring so gorgeous that they are the object of glowing comment wherever garden-lovers gather.

This was true of the recent education convention of the California Real Estate association. Held in the Palace hotel, this gathering had a background of roses. The localites present, while admiring the beauty of the roses, said little about them. But the southern California visitors, who came to speak at the convention, could not say enough about these blooms. Coming from where everything i is just a bit more super than anywhere else, they were, nevertheless, amazed at the gorgeous colors and choice textures of the roses grown here.

Then the information came out that some of the flowers were from the garden of Ruth Kington, some of them were given by Wilcox from her garden but most of them came from the garden of the B. A. Bantas on Ford street, said to be the largest rose garden in Ukiah. And then the topic switched to the very nice qualities of these rose growers who were so generous with their flowers. Thanks to them the visitors returned home with glowing reports about the beauty lof the roses grown here.

Stipp home on the Boonville road: About 60 were present, coming from Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Graton, Cloverdale, Lakeport and Willits as well as Ukiah. While the weather was really lowering, this meeting had the pleasure of a potluck meal in the Stipp garden.

The fact that the club has grown, according to report, to a membership of 50 in its brief span history, indicated the taken here in iris growing.

She has departed from the old-master style and is attempting even a different slant from the modern interpretation. In other words she is developing her own technique.

What she calls it herself is "'interpretative painting." She planned to send seven of these works on Thursday to the showing in Fort Bragg. Among the names she has given them are these: Thistle, Saki Jug. The Cat (and this she said is the essence of all cats done in shades of green), The Unseeing Bird. Watermelon and Peas in a Pod.
