Notebook

I wish you could see my
daughter’s flower garden. It
is a riot of colors at this time
of year. It makes me sad to
think of it all dying in a
month or so.
But as of now, the row of
scarlet sage is the attention
getter next to the brilliantly
colored petunias. It’s dif
ficult to realize how many
shades of pink can be
crowded into one small area.
The dwarf mangolds that
come m many hues or
yellow, gold and red and are
quite spectacular.
The tall flowers like
cosmos, cornflower,
gaillardia and scabiosa have
many blossoms but leave
something to be desired as
they fell over and had to be
staked. The fact that our
kittens loved to play around
them did nothing for iheir
appearance.
One flower that shouldn’t
be forgotten is the celosia or
cockscomb with its nch
crimson color. It is one of the
many flowers and weeds
that I dry for bouquets for
winter use. One year we sold
many of these plumes plus
straw flowers to a local
garden center
As her flower garden
covers a thirty by twenty
foot space at the edge of my
big vegetable garden, she

had plenty of specimens to
choose from when com
peting at the 4-H
Achievement Day in August.
She was pleasantly sur
prised to learn that her
display of various flowers
was chosen champion. A few
years of practice in
arranging an artistic exhibit
does help. Some participants
don’t realize that one doesn t
achieve perfection over
night, m fact sometimes one
never achieves it
You notice that I’m not
talking about my flower
garden which is the same
size. It does have some
beautiful snapdragons which
I raised from seed and a few
tube-roses fill the air with
their sweet'fragrance. But,
generally it lacks color and
of course I’d like to blame
this on the fact that it is
located under a large pine
tree and not on my inability
to grow flowers.
