14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Mey 15, 1965 GARDEN GUIDE Harmony Key For Window Boxes By A .R. BOUCKLEY Plant Research Institute The art of planitng a window box lies in the selection of plants that harmonize both among themselves and with the color of your home. By careful selection you can produce an agreeable color effect by using varieties of either one kind of plant or a few district kinds. You can also get diversities of foliage texture and color that will blend together. From a multitude of plants you can also select types that will suit every aspect your win- dow box is likely to be given. Right now, when plants are available in large quantities and in great assortment, is the time to plant your window box, The average garden soil is just not good enough for plants growing in confined areas such as boxes or pots. If it is on the heavy side it becomes sog- gy and is easily compacted; if it is sandy it dries out quickby and contains little nutritious substance. You should, then, make up a compost of one part of loamy garden soil to one part of peat moss and one part of builder's sand. If your soil is sandy you should include two parts of soil to one of peat and one of sand. To one bushel of either mixture add a level tablespoonful of a complete fer- tilizer. DRAINAGE . Before putting in the soil mix- ture place a 2-inch layer of broken bricks, crocks or stones at the bottom for drainage. On top of this put some partly de- ecayed leaves, straw or rough peat moss, and then put the soil in the box to within about two inches of the top. A box 10 inches wide may have three rows of plants: tall kinds 12 to 15 inches high at the back, medium ones not over 8 to 12 inches high for planting in the middle, and overhang- ing or drooping plants such as cascade petunias or the trailing jobelias, which will conceal the box itself, in the front You must also consider the color of your house, A 'white frame house, for instance, will» be enhanced by the bright blue of ageratum and lobelia, the yellow and orange of dwarf marigolds and white alyssum trailing over the edge. Red brick walls are particularly hard to harmonize. Here white or light-colored flowers and those that have massive green foliage are good Beofre ordering plants look at a garden catalogue and work out the combination for your- self by making careful notes of colors and heights of the an- nuals, You might like these selections: salmon geraniums for the back, silver santolinas for the middie and dark-blue balcony or cascade petunias as the overhanging plant; white geraniums, scarlet annual phiox, and. white balcony or cascade pentunias at the front; orange marigolds, blue agera- tum and yariegated periwinkle, and blue lobelia drooping down over the front of the box; Blue Magic or Capri petunia, Har- mony marigolds and blue bal- cony petunia in the front. FOR THAT HOT SPOT For a very hot sunny posi- tion you may well use succu- lent plants such as cactus, aloes, trailing ceropegias, and little pickles (Othonna). For shady locations the tub- erous begonias or ever-bloom- ing fibrous begonias will grow very well. So will the new Jewel varieties of patience plant, which are more dwart and extremely floriferous. In the. shade, too, plant foliage plants such as bright coleus or dark purple perilla with varie- gated ivy as the trailing plant. The cascade petunias can be had in red, white, and pink. They make splendid window box plants when either one color or a mixture is used. The new Bijou dwarf sweet peas will grow very well and flower all summer in a window box facing southwest. The mix- ed packets of seeds contain three or four colors in pastel hues. Supplementary to the window box it is interesting to have small trellises on each side, An- nual vines such as the cup-and- saucer vine, morning glory, climbing nasturtium or black- eyed Susan vine may be used, It isn't necessary, of course, to use flowers at all, For those who like salads and vegetables, such plants as tomatoes, dwarf beans, chives, swiss chard and parsley might be grown. Good vines to go with these are the scarlet runner bean and the tall-growing tomato. 5 During the summer, feed the window box every two wedks with a 20-20-20 soluble fertil- izer. Keep all weeds from the boxes and pick off each faded bloom so as to prolong the flowering season. Those who would like to con- tinue to use their window box after the first frost should plant outdoor chrysanthemums in a vacant place in the garden, Dig these up when they're in bud and plant them in the window box to replace the annuals that have then become rather strag- gly.

(AP) The judge requests the ver- dict. The jury foreman says: "You honor, we, the jury, find the defendant guilty. We rec- ommend..." The key word is '"recom- mend," for this is an unusual judge and an unusual jury. Presiding is former base- ball pitching great Lon War- neke, the Garland County (Hot Springs) judge. The jury is six teen-agers. The defend- in all the events and the pro- ant is a juvenile, A farce? 'I think it's the finest thing that can happen to a juvenile court anywhere," Warneke said. "I can tell you one thing, it has reduced juvenile crime in this county," The jurors are. volunteers from the three high schools here. To qualify for juny duty they must (1) be a _ high school student, (2) make passing grades, and (3) have a driver's licence. Arkansas law requires that jurors be of voting age, which is 21 in this state, so the teen- age jury's power fs limited to recommending a verdict and a punishment, The judge has not failed--in four months-- to go along with the jury's |Mercer Escapes Any Real Blast TORONTO (CP) -- A York | County grand jury reported finding and recommendation. |Friday it has no serious crit- Hot Springs, which got its |icism of conditions at Mercer idea for the teen-age juvenile jreformatory after a recent in- jspection of the 84 - year - old jury from similar situations | women's institution. at Fort Worth, Tex., and | 'The jury was the first to com- Jacksonville, Fla., was wor- |ment on the reformatory since ried at first about the effee- last November, when another tiveness of such a system.
