Treasurer Brooklin Horticultural Members, Told About Christmas Decorations The mo'nthiy meeting of the Brookiin Horticuitural Society was beid on October 24 and in the absence of President Jefferies, was chaired by Carolyn Stevens. In view of the fact that this was our last officiai meeting of the vear, Carolyn requestea tnat we sing "0 Canada", ta which Rose Heron accompanied on the piano. Cbrissey McKinney then tbanked the Society for the Gingko tree wbich was plant- ed in Grass Park in honor of ber marriage to Dr. John McKinney. This was foilowed by Ken Brown's inimitable "Fun with Karen Cockburn of Van Belle's in Bowmanville displays some of the beautiful artificial plants available today. DecorIà«ating with PlantS 1By Carne Kirby A toucb of green and a splasb of color can brigbten up even the darkest room, includ- ing the basement rec room. Plants need a lot of ligbt and care but silk plants bave progressed ta the stage that tbey can barely be distinguisb- ed from the real tbing. Silk plants are no longer just flowering plants but came in a variety of green foliage as well. A silk fern or philoden- dron is just the tbing ta ligbten up a dark corner. Karen Cockerbam of Van Belle florists in Bowmanville, does not hesitate in recom- mending silks for ,tbese locations as she feels the quality of the plants bas improved greatiy over the years. In dealing with real plants, she says that people bave a tendency ta over-water, "the soil sbould be kept towel moist?" In decorating with plants the trend seems ta be moving away from tbe banging styles that have been so popular over the past few years. There is currently a mavement towards bunching different plants of various beightsand colors in one area,,creatinig a garden effect indoors. Rather than hanging your plants in windows, a different idea is ta put up glass shelves and arrange your flowering plants there. 1For foliage, which needs less light than the blooms, shelves -couid be erected NAME *MORE BRAND THAN TOYS 5 "MATTEL" PARKER" LOCATIONS PET DOG Plush dog, N_, walks, sits, ;~begs on your k/J- '~#command. 1978 -Dept. $99 Store Cat. price $1 9.99 66SNOOPY95little girls 4 PURSE Reg. price $4.79 $ "MATTEL" TALKING Pull the string$ 9 TELEPHONE Dept. store price $8.99$9 "Farchld JIG SAW VALUES 2 "Firhid PUZZLES TO $2.79 $1 2 "MUSKIN" C.B.

Five major requirements for ail plants, light, soul, composition, water, tempera- ture and humidity, sbould be cbecked before buying. Each individuai plant needs ail of these factors in varying degrees. There are three main rules for indoor gardening: 1. Diagnose your room's climate - sunny, shady, semi- shade (different spots will have different limates). Books and florists can belp choose the plants that will work best. 12. Decide what you want the plant ta do. Fi and empty while beîng placed about four or five feet from sunlight windows. The very adaptable Grape corner, add interest toaa booksbelf, or any number of tbings. 3. Give individual plants proper care and feeding. For example - African violets like ta keep their feet wet, but cacti prefer to, have theirs dry. Young people have institut- ed a great change in the buying habits of plant loyers, explained Mrs. Cockerbam. Rather than buying cut flowers as gif ts there bas been an increase in tbe purchase of potted plants for this purpose. It bas been suggested by many interior decorators in magazines provided by the florist, that different setting require different plants. In an exotic setting, the use of Paradise Palms and otherý tropical flora is most suitable. These require littie light and grow ta heigbts of two and one-haîf to six feet . Boston Fern, a very romantic looking plant, warks well in elegant and traditional interiors. Tbese plants require high humidity and cool temperature, at the same time they should be kept away from drafts and air conditioners, Fiora". Mrs. Stevens then introdue- ed the speaker for the evening in the person of Mrs. Anne Wilson, of the Civic Garden Club of Toronto. Mrs. Wilson was one of the founding members of the Mimne House Garden Club, part of the present C.G.C. and by her own admission, has been doing flower arrangements since she was very, very young. This speaker is endowed with a wry and delightful sense of humor and seems to be conducting ber own private war against inflation. It was a reai pieasure to hear someone who actually knew bow to save Ivy is good for- hangîng, centrepieces and dry sinks. Relatively inexpensive, this ivy ranges fromn two inches to tbree feet in size and looks perfect in Early Canadian and Colonial settingés. The heavy look of Spanisb of Mediterranean decor calîs for Dracaena or Corni Plant. This is available in many varieties wbicb grow from ten inches ta fifteen feet. This plant bas very low ta medium iight requirements and water needs are moderate. Other popular plants that iend themselves ta the more modern decor are Diffen- bachia, a plant wbicb is described as bard ta kill, and Fiscus benjemina, a relatively inexpensive green plant that needs only moderate water and average ligbt. Blooming plants, thougb not as papular as they once were, require their own care wbich differs from that of the greenery. Eight ways ta encourage these plants ta bloomn indoors are: 1. Choose good performers - among these are gloxinia, African violets, begonias, bromeliads, and miniature roses. 2. Give them lots of light - although flowering plants require the brightest ligbt available ta encourage blossoms, African violets are the exception ta this rule. ~3. Watcb the temperature- these plants1 prefer daytime temperatures of 65 ta 75 degrees Fabrenheit witb a ten degree drap during the nîght ta seem most natural. 4. Keep evenly moist - "towei damp" is tbe best. Plastic pots hold moisture langer than dlay but bath are equaily good for plants.' 5. Watcb bumidity - flower- ing plants are used ta cooling sbowers. Simulate this by spraying with a cool, mist, stand plants on a tray of pebbles keeping the water us money and her topie, "Decorating the Home for Chrismtas", sbowed just how inventive and ingenious one person can be. In addition, she seemed to enjoy herseif as much as we enjoyed ber. She is also an avid coilector of 1'things", which especiaily endeared ber to this writer's heart. Maureen Bogart thank- ed the speaker. Carolyn then closed the meeting with a tbank you ta al those responsible for bringing our membersbip to 140 and a speciai thank you to Mary Housego and ber helpers for "Keeping Brooklin Beautiful" this past summer. She aiso level ta the top of the pebbles, or install a humidifier. 6. Fertilize regularly - fertilizer should contain potassium and phosphorus wbicb will strengtben roots and stems, help prevent infection and increase the capacity of the plant ta form buds. 7. Guard against pets and disease, - spider mites whicb are troublesome wben the bumidity is too low can be bandled by wasbing the leaves, particularly the under sides wîth soapy water. If this is not effective, use a miticide spray. Mealy bugs whicb appear as fluffy white dots can be treated witb cotton dipped, in alcohol. Fungus, a sign of too mucb bumidity -is best counteracted witb a fungicide. 8. Inform yourself - tbere is no better way of caring for anytbing than by preparing yourself in advance. Books dealing witb one family of plant as well as those tbat caver several species are your best investment. The ways of decorating your home witb- plants are limit- less, for those who are impatient, plants can be purcbased at the peak of their growing season. For others, small plants may be obtained iess expensively and nurtured until full-grown,. reminded us of our upcoming "Pot Luck 'Supper" and elec-, tion of officers on November.'
