Schmidt of Charleston, -a reader, has started me on a pastime more insidious than eating peanuts. "I should like to know what you consider the most fascinating word or phrase in the English language," Dr. Sqhmidt wrote. "May I nave-your choice and the reason for'it?" When 1 I first started thinking about this, I felt sure my affection for certain -words was based on the picture each brought to mind. Thus amethyst, coral, opal, sapphire, emerald are all lovely words they belong to lovely And smooth, creamy, my favorite adjectives, go with delightful things to Frosty, a nice crisp word, means to me delicately etched window pans of a country winter.

Rain, April, autumn, moor are enchanting words because each Extension Office Offers List of Trees, Shrubs Spring sunshine and the approaching break-up turn Alaskan gardeners' thoughts to landscaping. To help railbelt landscapers, the University of Alaska Extension service 'has a list of shrubs and trees imported from the states that will do well in this area. Extension director Allan says. list of Shrubs and Trees" is available from district extension offices located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Palmer and Homer, Mick warns gardeners that some of the shrubs and trees may not survive in certain soils or climates within the railbelt. In other areas, even more tender plants will thrive.

Before a homeowner starts landscaping, he wants to tour his neighborhood to see what plants are doing well. From that start, he can do his own experimenting with new ornamentals and fruits. Some of the trees on the list are white poplar, white willow, lodge pole pine, white spruce, Delgo crab and Red Siberian crab. Among the shrubs are Western chokecherry, Tartarian honeysuckle, Siberian pea tree and the common purple and white lilacs. 'Native birch, spruce, currants and other local plants can be used to form a background for me imported varieties.

The shrubs and trees included on the list compiled a result 'of studies by the horticulture' department of the Alaska agricultural experiment station. How Can Q. How can I make a varnish remover? A.
