The Chilliwack Progress from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada • Page 2

Tage Two The "singing month," April has been called and surely this week our response is in tune. Over the entire valley there has swept a pageantry of color and perfume, blossoming trees, flowering shrubs and unfolding leaf. "She comes like a bride In front of the tide Of emerald mist. No keen weather stays her; No bird disobeys her; No bud can resist. "If you have any friends who need converting to the attractiveness of the Chilliwack Valley, take them today up the Ryder Lake road.

Never have I seen anything more beautiful and lovely," a friend from the Coast dropped In to tell us on Tuesday. So we live to thank God for the garden the garden of British Columbia Chilliwack! As we came in from Cultus Lake the other morning, loathe to leave the wistful beauty of the calm lake with its lovely shadows of snow capped mountains, we were struck both there and on the road into town with the "busyness" of the residents in their gardens. Cer tainlv between Sardis and the Lake there appears no unemployment problem what witn me aauiuon oi gardens and rock gardens and the building of several new homes at the lake itself; the Campbell River Logging Company taking up tne surplus labor in their operations; the planting of many new gardens along the roadway and the healthy activity in the hopyards in and about Sardis. It all gives one a Rainbow Gardens Lirkman Road Gladioli and Dahlia BULBS Exhibition varieties at popular prices. Phone 4891 feeling of optimism and much hope founded not on the actions and movements of one man, but of the genuine belief in their country and in themselves by many.

Well, well, well, we said it over and over again to ourselves as we came across Mr. H. M. Eddie and a crew of his nursery men staking and pruning the trees along the highway on Saturday. So it had come to this the generous donator could stand it no longer.

Mr. Eddie is surely to be congratulated on his action but what of the persons, corporations or whatever they are or were, who originally made themselves responsible! We wonder if it would be too much to ask of those in authority, that prone to wandering cows who delight in easing their vertebrae columns on these same trees, be kept in their own good pasture, and that motorists, without any particular terminal facilities I leave it to you to decide whether these facilities are of car or otherwise, be warned that neither the time nor the place is propitious for the using of the trees as a natural brake. When all of Canada and America is striving to plant and gather to themselves such highway beauty, is it too much to ask that what we have be taken care of. Birthday Congratulations Congratulations to Horatio Webb today on this his 81st birthday and the 64th anniversary of his arrival in Chilliwack. May the years continue to be kind and gracious to our good friend.

April The wind is blowing down the street With violets in her hair, And her breath is soft and sweet With primrose blossoms where The crowds are surging and the roar Of traffic fills the air, And she is knocking at the door Where somber buildings stare Through blinking windows as she sings Of budding daffodils, And suddenly a hundred wings Are beating to the hills. And I must follow where they fly, Follow to the hills, Follow till I find a field Of budding daffodils, And wild anemones and moss And warblings everywhere. The wind is blowing down the street With violets in her hair.

For the benefit of those who are en deavoring to make progress along this line we are reproducing an article from The Christian Science Monitor, wherein a well known garden designer, Ralph Hancock, shares his ideas and speaks of the best exhibit in the Boston Spring Flower Show. Coming from such an expert we believe this will inter est our readers. The perfect rock and water gar den, in Mr. Hancock's opinion, con tains a little stream flowing over occasional waterfalls and flanked by rocks interspersed with drifts of turf running down to the water's edge. The green of the grass con trasts effectively with the somber hues of the rock.

A rock garden that is all rock resembles a quarry and is not at all restful. 'With regard to the exhibit at Boston," said Mr. Hancock, "the stone used was weathered and water worn mountain limestone, brought especially from England for this exhibit. In building a rock garden I always strive to imitate nature as closely as possible. Points useful to remember are stratifica tion of rock, restraint in planting, and plentiful stretches of grass." Stratification of Rock It is impossible to give any sample diagram for rock gardens in general.

Each location has its own problems and opportunities. Mr. Hancock counts limestone the perfect stone for rock gardens, owing to its moisture retaining properties. Sandstone is occasionally used, but stone containing deposits of slate is most unsuitable, for slate is unable to absorb moisture, is nonporous and attracts heat. Plant a heavy background in the Boston exhibit this was chiefly of evergreens for a setting; or otherwise provide some sort of natural background, and gradually soften off toward the front, with lesser plants.

The most important point about the laying of the rocks is that they be so placed that they be in faithful imitation of the natural strata. They must lie in one direction only. The placement of the stones should resemble a natural outcrop. As for location, Mr. Hancock points out that whereas in England rock gardens for the best success with alpine plants should be located in an open place, in America Where air is drier and the sunlight more intense, partial or sparse shade is needed by the plants and the rock garden should be placed accordingly, or planted with judiciously placed trees and shrubs for shelter.

Another unnecessary "must" that Americans have taken over bodily from English rock gardens is the idea that the soil should be excavated to a foot or 15 inches below ground level and the excavation filled with coke or clinkers for drainage. Mr. Hancock, who has built rock gardens in both countries, maintains that whereas this is essential to success in England, due to the moist climate and the consequent need for drainage; in the United States every drop of underground moisture In the rockery is needed, due to the harsher climate, and also to the fact that American rock gardens are usually built on ridges, mounds or banks, themselves providing adequate drainage. Planting the Crannies In the matter of soils, a good loam is recommended, lightened to a friable compost by the addition of a little coarse sand, leaf mold and well rotted stable manure. In very moist climates, grit and small stone, and in some cases lime, is used, but is seldom needed in Amer ican rock gardens.

"Plentiful stretches of grass' give Mr. Hancock's rock gardens that satisfying, natural effect. Of Mrs. George Cook of Yakima, has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs.

J. O. Nichol, First avenue. Mr. Vernon Stanley of Chilliwack attended the marriage of his sister, Miss Annie Stanley, daughter of Mr.

Officers Mrs. G. H. Raley and Mrs. Carl Grossman were appointed as Provincial officers of the Imperial Daughters of the Empire at the annual meeting of the Provincial Chapter held in Vancouver last week.

Mrs. Grossman was also appointed councillor to the National Chapter and Navy League I convener for this province. A Satisfying Rock Garden this fundamental he has said: "Stretches of green grass running to the pool's edge create a most restful atmosphere, which is the thing to strive for in a rock garden. No one cares for a planted quarry. Also the charm of water falling from ledge to ledge cannot be overestimated, especially in the warm American summers." As mentioned before, the planting should gradually soften off from the heavy background, toward the front.

"Plant little plants in the interstices of the rock, along and under the ledges, and often on top of the outcrops," said Mr. Hancock. "It is of course necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the habit of each plant, and to plant it in an exactly natural position." Over and over again restraint is emphasized. So many rock gardens are overplanted. Avoid making it look like an exhibition area.

The designer of the Boston garden says that the planting material remember in building a rock gar den: 1. Stratification of rock. 2. Restraint in planting. 3.

Plentiful stretches of grass. And the "watchword of successful rock gardening," says Mr. Han cock, "is restraint." Mr. Hancock came to the United States from England in 1930. He has won awards for rock garden and formal garden design and construction in the principal flower shows in the East.

He has this message for garden lovers: "Garden lovers in America may often be heard lamenting 'those gardens of old They need not do so. They may have those English gardens here in America. The charm of an English garden lies, very greatly, in its intimate features, its stone walls, sunk rose gardens, rock gardens, flagged and planted paths, and wide herbaceous borders. Added to which, and quite possibly most important of all, an English garden invariably seems to say 'I am well loved'." 1 Royal Yeaat Cake 2 cups milk 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons lard 6 tableapoona sugar I teaspoon aatt 4 egg yolks 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 8 cups flour In the evening, ill unite the yeast In "4 cup of tepid water.

The Household Preservation of Eggs The outcome of investigational work in preserving eggs carried on for many years by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa is that two preservatives (1) lime water and (2) waterglass, have been was selected both for its beauty proven eminently satisfactory and and its interest.

"There were distinctly superior to the large nearly 200 varieties of alpine and number of preparations tested, rock plants, trees, flowering shrubs, Lime water is prepared by slak etc, all true rock garden subjects," ing freshly burnt quick lime, thin he said. ning with water to the consistency Again, the three main points to I of cream and further diluting, with constant stirring, to the desired volume. The resultant lime water may be used at once without settling or allowed to stand for an hour or so and the clear upper liquid poured off from the deposit of undissolved (excess) lime. By following these directions and using quick lime at the rate of 1 pound to 5 gallons of water, a "saturated" lime water will be prepared suitable and satisfactory for the preservation of eggs. If quick lime is not obtainable, slaked lime (hydra ted lime) as used in the preparation of Bordeaux mixture may be used.

The eggs previously placed in a crock, water tight barrel or other suitable receptacle, are covered with the lime water. Store in a cool place. Do not add salt to the lime water, and the vessel containing the eggs should be kept covered. Waterglass, the well known preservative, chemically known as silicate of soda, is readily obtainable at druggists and grocers, being sold in both liquid and solid form.
