22 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Scturdey, February 18, 1967 GARDEN GUIDE Plant Annuals With Colors Of Flag For That Once - In - Century Garden By A. R. BUCKLEY For a once-in-a-century gar- den that will catch and hold the attention of all who pass by, plant annuals with the colors of the Canadian flag -- brilliant reds and dazzling whites. Noth- ing could possibly present your centennial project with such dy- namic force. At the Plant Research Insti- tute's Test Gardens last sum- mer a series of red and white annuals were grown for the purpose of determining which kinds would be best suited for @ red-and-white bedding effect and to find red annuals that match the red of the Canadian flag. In this particular experi- ment it soon became obvious that cultivars of the annual sal- via (Salvia splendens) in the "turkey red' group were the only ones that matched the scarlet red of the new flag. It was aso established that all good vivid reds and clean whites were eligible to repre- sent our national banner.~.To purists, however, it is suggest- ed. that dwarf salvia such as Tom Thumb or Piccolo be used for the red part of the flag and white alyssum such as Carpet of Snow for the white. A bed composed of these annuals will not bloom all summer long, for there will be times when the fading flowers of salvia will need to be picked off and the alyssum clipped in order to re- juvenate them. The most impressive annuals show of color almost all sum- mer long are the petunias. Now- adays with the amazingly re- liable F-1 hybrids it is easy to make bedding plans and be sure of getting the right colors with- out fear of having a Jarge num- ber of purple or blifsh rogues pop up to spoil the effect. In our trials, continuity of bloom, freedom from bacterial spotting, and quick recovery from rain damage were con- sidered necessary for high rat- ings, and there were many var- ieties that qualified for inclu- sion in a red-and-white bedding scheme. The two I liked best of all were Candy Apple, a bril- liant red, and White Sails, a large flowering pure white that bloomed consistently through all weather and under the most adverse conditions. There were times late in the season when this gallant petunia was bloom- ing alone among the 325 other cultivars. Red Magic, planted with its counterpart White Magic, also made an excellent combination. Other top-rated dependable red cultivars were Red Ensign and. Red _ Satin. Good dependable whites were| storm. For window boxes, patio | A hencine: hanket 3 an the new F-1 balcony type pe- tunias Red Avalanche and White Avalanche are bound to please. These two are actually outperforming and _ outshining the hitherto supreme C de strains usually reserved for this purpose. Starfire, a bicolored red and white, was the best petunia to use for flag colors on a single plant. Petunias are easy to get from nurseries and garden centres in full bloom in flats or boxes. In most cases it is advisable to pinch out the tops of the plants as you set them out in the gar- den. This takes courage, but it will result in a better branch- ing habit and.a longer blooming period, If you prefer to grow your own plants from seed, start them early, at least by the end of March. There are many other annuals you can grow in your red-and- white centennial garden. In our trials the annual phlox (Phlox drummondii) was better than some of the petunias from the standpoint of brilliance in both for bedding and ones that can be counted upon to produce a Glacier, Paleface and Snow- red and white coloring.
