Alfred Tennyson, THE IRIS By DR. C. 8. DICKINSON ' Unusual colored flowers are bound to capture your attention and by chance my wife's garden produced a seedling Iris not note- worthy for size but for its novel color effect. It presented an in- fusion of every color of the Rain- bow. And by the way, the word Iris is derived from a Greek word] meaning Rainbow or Halo -- an appropriate name. While many of the older type i Iris are unique in color, they are "not to be compared with the tall modern specimens with their mas- sive flowers. All new Iris are produced from seed, and these have been so im- proved by plant breeders and ama~ teur gardeners that today they have been classed by Botanists as ranking next to the orchid, for weird and exotic beauty--and they are said to be far more easily grown. There are thousands of different varieties and many new specimens all produced yearly, in different countries. Of these new seedlings but few are outstanding enough to be presented for approval and re- gistration by Iris societies. So when you obtain one of the newer named achievements, there is usually some desirable quality that stamps it as something differ- ent. It may he color appeal, in- fusion of color, blend, massive size ' ar formation of flower. The bearded Hybrid types are usually classed as dwatfs, 1 mediate and tall. x © Iris catalogues invariably show the approximate height opposite each named variety. This is useful at planting time in planning'a lay- out. Some of the medium type Iris are not as floriferous as some of the taller ones but what they lack in numbers is often offset in the size of the flower. Some produce huge broad petalled blossoms up to seven inches in size. Other types grow very tall often attaining a height of 44 inches -- these varieties with their sturdy stems and colorful flowers are bound to capture attention. In arranging a garden it is well t6 know the different characteris- tics of the plant in question, such as time of blossoming, (early or late varieties) height, color, grow- . ing habits and adaptability to the + 'location. Iris showed off to better advan- ge in larger gardens where there plenty of room to display them. However, backyard gardeners have started with a few clumps and as time went on became so inter ested they finished up with a few acres. Por the part time gardener whose enthusiasm usually runs high dur- ing the spring months, they are the answer. The bearded varie- ties are at their best during the month of June, and once they are finished blossoming they require weeding and thinning. They survive droughts and are better not watered during the rest dormant od periods. ie above applies to well estab- lished plants -- new varieties that have been recently transplanted all the better for some watering until they become rooted In' making a selection it is good practice to visit the larger gar- dens which specialize in growing these flowers. Arrange your visit at blossom time -- usually around June 5 to 15th, An early visit gen- erally results in a selection in early varieties while a later visit results in a late blooming selec- tion. The blossoming season has been extended through the production of some late varieties. However make your choice of flowers at that time By GORDON LINDSAY SMITH GARDEN PATHS No matter how small the garden there will be the problem of paths. Instead of being an eyesore, these can be made into an attractive feature of the lawn or flower plots or even the vegetable pateh. Where traffic is usually concen- trated such as near the door or |a gate, it is advisable to use |some solid material like flag- | stones, concrete slabs, bricks, cin- der or gravel. With any of these the main thing is to place firmly and level with or just slightly above the surrounding grass, so that the lawn mower will trim or even run right over easily. Where {the traffic is lighter, one can sim- |ply use grass for the strip of well | grown, well fed and tough grass. |It is surprising the amount of wear this will give. In lots of public gardens grass paths are used to divide the flower plots and they are seldom worn thin. Where cinder or gravel is used in paths or driveways one can enimila treo driveways one' can eliminate grass and weeds hy sprinkling {heavily with rock salt or treating with some of the weed sprays. FIRST YEAR GARDENS When the builder of the new house says he's finished, the gar- dener is just ready to begin, He shouldn't be discouraged at the rough grading, the litter of plaster and bricks that the bulldozer has barely covered. One can hardly believe what can be accomplished in the first year. Of course we can't grow trees, shrubs and per- renial vines overnight. But it is amazing what one can do with annuals alone. The best plan is to get in early whatever nursery stock and perennial flowers are available and financially possible. Then in between these use all sorts of annuals which will soon look as if they had always been there, There are big, bushy things like cosmos, dahlias, cannas, cas- tor oil and spider plants, orna- mental sunflowers or helianthus, African marigolds and giant lark- spur that can be used in the place of flowering shrubbery. Then there are quick growing climbing plants, scarlet runner beans; morning glories, climbing nastur- tiums, sweet peas, hops and such for covering trellis or fence. And as for solid beds, edging and whatnot we have at least a hun- dred annual flowers from which to choose. Of course before any planting Canadian Garden Service - gE. SC HELP FOR YOUR GARDEN PROBLEMS Have you a gardening problem? Plan to attend the meetings of the Oshawa Horticultural Society. It meets on the second Monday of each month in Centre Street School' Auditorium. Members will gladly | advise you. This department in The Times-Gazette is published | with the co-operation of the Osh- awa Horticultural Society. Many of the members of the OHS specialise in various phases of gardening. They will gladly ad- vise you wherever possible.

BE PREPARED A very necessary piece of equip- ment for most gardeners is a small sprayer or duster and the mater- ials to load it. Nothing is more discouraging than to get flowers, vegetables or shrubbery flourish- ing and then to discover some fine morning that bugs or disease | have started to attack them. If] one counter - attacks promptly, | however, there is little difficulty | about control. For every pest, for- tunately, there is some chemical or other treatment to keep it in check. Usually a spray or dust is used. For insects that eat holes in foliag the usual remedy is a poison of some kind, such as arsenate of lead. DDT, copper sulphate, . nicotine, etc. For the pests . that suck out the juices a burning spray or dust incorporat- ing. sulphur is recommended, or sometimes special soap and water or:some of the tobacco solutions. Use sprays when the foliage is dry. With the dust; best results are obtained on a day without wind and just after a rain or before a dew. With all chemicals one is well advised to study and follow directions carefully and make sure that the proper material is used for the particular pest concerned. while you have an opportunity te make comparisons. The price of Iris fluctuates. The latest achievements are more cost- ly, although many inexpensive spe- cimens may be obtained. Prices quoted are usually for the indivi- dual rhizome or more commonly referred to as a "Toe." When Iris are imported, Govern- ment Permits and plant inspection are required. Bearded Iris are increased in two ways: 1. By division of the rhizomes. 2. By seeds. When you plant a rhizome it is always "A chip off the old block' so to speak, that is, it's flower never changes. It remains the same as the parent stock. different -- even seeds from the original parents seldom come true to form. Iris contain both male and fe- male organs within the same indi- vidual flower. In this way, if the flower is left to itself, it will self pollinate or inbreed. Practically ' all our new vari: eties are produced from seeds and are the resut of man's choice in the selection of the parent plants. That is the pollen from one out~ standing flower is transferred to that of an other selection. The male organ is called the anther and is the portion used for pollination. The receptacle for. the pollen is called the stigma or fe- male organ. Once a flower has been pollinat- ed or hybridized, the anthers (there are 3) are carefully snipped out and removed, this is to prevent further pollination or self pollination. Some take extra precautions and cover the flower with a cellophane bag. The reason for this is to prevent interference by bees and insects, wind or other means.

It is time consuming but provides the opportunity. of propagating some- thing new or unusual, and human nature dearly loves a change. THE LILY POOL Now is the time for lovers of water lilies to build a pool. Build your pool in the open where it will get all the sunshine, certainly never where it will be shaded by trees for buildings. The informal pool is easiest to make and the best way to get the shape required is to take the garden hose and set it around in the shape desired and dig around this. Be sure you dig deeply enough to allow for the thickness of the eement and- still give enough depth of water for successful growing of water lilies. A water lily needs at least one cubic foot of soil, and I have found that a butter box is ideal for this purpose. It should have about ight inches of water | over the soil, so that allowing for | the. box there should be. ahout 24 | inches of water in the pool. If fish are being put in the new | pool, care should be taken that be- fore putting them in, the water should be changed two or 'three times after standing awhile ar the Jime in the new cement might kill Reinforce your,cement with rods or wire mesh, and you should never have any bother with your - pool cracking, After planting your lilies sprinkle some sand or fine gravel on the top to prevent the fish from disturbing the soil and discolouring the water. Running water should not be used for water lillies, they do better in still water that the sun has had a chance to warm. {Hardy lilies should be planted in| | May.

Pack By JACK HAND : Associated Press Sports Writer The giddy St. Louis Browns are beginning to remind folks of the 1944 team that set a league record by winning its first nine games. That wartime collection won the 'only American League pennant in Brownie history. Who thought the first four Brown starting pitchers would go the route? You doubt if even Rogers Hornsby, their manager, was that optimistic. Ned Garver, yes. But Bob Cain, Tommy Byrne and Duane Pillette? Never! : Pillette became the fourth starte to go all the way yesterday when the Browns played before the home folks for the first time.

By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP)--The phenom- enal .success of the Yankees last season in jumping a group of juv- eniles from the far outposts rights to the parent club without the cus- tomary 'seasoning' in the high minors has had a profound effect on many owners and managers. It was something new at spring camp a year ago in Phoenix to find the most talked about players on the Yank squad, Mickey Mantle and pitcher Tom Morgan, were not even on the Bombers' roster. It was even more surprising when they wound up the campaign as regulars, and when Gil McDougald hopped straight from the Texas League to lead the world cham- pions at gbat., This seemed revolutionary at the time, and it is possible that old Casey Stengel was just plain lucky. But it plainly set some other smart baseball men to thinking. The evi- dence is in nearly every Big League box score. We doubt there ever before were as many unfamiliar names. There was a time when a re- porter in the spring could sit down with a manager and a club roster and within 10 minutes have all the information he needed to wise up his readers in the north. I§ was a similar manner to which bac-| 0" much cut and dried. What rookies there were either showed by their records in the fast minors that they were ready or that they needed, as the manager would say, "another year or two out." A re- porter seldom missed & golf date. It wasn't that way this spring. A careful check was necessary for days and weeks to see whether the manager really was serious about carrying the young marvels. Second-division clubs, in partic- ular, are giving youth a fling as they never did before. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY MEETING The Oshawa Horticultural Society held its regular monthly meeting on Monday evening in Centre Street School Auditorium. President A. Whitmee presided, Mrs. C. Silver read the minutes and introduced Mrs. Keyworth as a new member. Mrs. T. Fairbroth- er gave an interesting report on the activities of the executive and announced a summer .trip to some well-known garden. Mr. Fred Ing of Whitby proved | to be a most interesting speaker on the "Culture of Gladiolus'. Mr. Ing is an expert in this field and brought forth some new ideas con- cerning this beautiful flower. He stressed the fact that it was im- portant to purchase good bulbs | from reputable growers, otherwise it is apt to be money wasted. The | talk covered all operations of treat- ments before planting, cultivation and storing in the fall, He left no doubt in the minds of the audience that Gladiolus sre easy to grow especially in Oshawa where the typical soil is ideal, Show exhibitors from this area manage to capture a great many prizes, Mr. Whitmee spoke briefly on "Strawberries," 'Wm, Alchin donated some Dahlia Tubus and these were drawn for attendance prizes.

FELLER WINS FIRST Bob Feller, the last of Cleve- land's "Big Four" to start, thrilled a home crowd of 56,068 by winning the Tribe's fourth straight, 5-0 over Detroit. It was Feller's seventh win .in 10 opening games. Chunky Connie Marrero made opener with a 3-1 Washington victory before 45,240. Clyde Vollmer got into the game | as a pinch hitter to deliver two! key hits in Boston's 5-4 win over Philadelphia Athletics in 10 innings. Vollmer's pinch single touched off a three-run spurt .that tied the score in the ninth. His second hit in the 10th scored Faye Throne- berry with the winning run. Bill Wight, who pitched only the 10tin Brooklyn Dodgers rolled to their fourth straight on Andy Pafko's second home run of the day to nip New York Giants 7-6 in 12 innings before a big Ebbets Field crowd of | 31,032.

JOHNSON Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)--Soccer's "dream match". of the century, conjured up months ago by the experts, becomes 8 reality when Newcastle United clash with London's favorite Arsenal in the Football Association Cup final at Wembley May 3. The final, which will be watched | by some 100,000 partisan fans,| brings together two of the more; colorful and crowd-pleasing clubs in the business. Genuine cream of the crop, they are the survivors of more than 500 eager teams who launched on the Cup chase early | this season. | Both teams have a proud record | of past achievement but victory at | Wembley @iext month will give] either a chance to share the lime-| light of sports history. A triumph for Arsenal will put the Gunners in line for the most difficult and elusive prize in Old Country soccer--the Cup and First Division championship double. The feat has been accomplished only twice before. In the season of 1888-89, Preston North End waded through all opposition to win the league title without losing a match, That team then went on to take the Cup withbut conceding a single goal in the knockout competition, TOUGHER TODAY The tough assignment was dug cated in 1897 by Aston Villa which shares with Blackburn Rovers -the record of six Cup final victories. But the ordeal! of the draw is tougher today in both events. Of equal interest are the record- challenging prospects of Newcastle, this season dubbed "the wonder team." When United defeated Second Division Blackburn Rovers by a late-game penalty goal in § dramatic semi-final replay, it marked the ninth time the team had qualified for the Cup final, once more than any ether 'club. Arsenal has made the grade en six occasions. But more important still, a vie- tory for Newcastle on May would give the Tynesiders the distinction of being the first club in 60 years to win the Cup in successive season. Ironically, the last team to gain that honor was Blackburn Ravers, Newcastle came close to the target in 1910, winning the Oup that year and finishing as runner-up 'the following season.

The champs from the "C" section must move up to the "B" next year, and the same applies to the "B" winners . . . they must move up to the "A" section the following season. Last year Oshawa Central copped the "B" section and this season made their first stab at the "A" series. That's the series in which the OCVI teams of some five or six years ago used to play.
