Wednesdsay October 6, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER C5 Homes & Gardens H O M E S T E A D : This solid wood corner entertain ment unit with bi fold doors, grace fully mixes the warmth of tradi tional period styling with the practicality of new age technology. This piece, by West Bros, of Hanover OnL, was a catego ry winner in the Trillium Awards, a Canada-wide fur niture design and m a n u f a c t u r i n g competition. Spring gardens can make colour statement While some experts are definite about colour trends in the garden, oth ers are not. In the past two years, we've seen a definite profusion or oranges. Now our 'eyes and ears on the ground' tell us that the next colour focus and, perhaps, even re-emerging music style is -- the blues. Bottom line on colour, however, is that it's a very personal choice and that, ultimately, we all gravitate to colours that, quite simply, make us feel good. Among confident and sophisticated gardeners, one trend that continues, is gardens with blossoms of a monochro matic, or tone-on-tone, colour scheme. Following, for you to pick and choose from, are three one-colour spring gardens -- all a mixture of bulbs and perennials, as, after all, no one plants one or the other exclusively. If you are planning a one-colour spring garden, as the season wanes and summer begins, take your garden's colour scheme up a notch by gently introducing summer flowers of brighter colours and/or complimentary tones. The Blue Garden If your favourite colour is blue, plant the following bulbs in the autumn and then sit back and enjoy the blues as they combine with that wonderful foliage shade of spring green through out the season of awakening. Shortly after the snow melts, the first flowers to show their faces in the gentle sunshine will be the blue flowers of Chionodoxa luciliae and the diminutive, intricately marked Iris reticulata. Try planting these bulbs near Hepatica, an early-flowering perennial plant that blooms in the same shades of blue. Next to appear will be Scilla siberi- ca. Muscari armeniacum and Anemone blanda 'Blue Shades' which, if all planted together will form a carpet of multi-toned blues under and among a selection of perennials which bloom at the same time in shades from deep vio let to blue-tinged with white. They are the Sweet violet (Viola odorata), Periwinkle (Vinca), Lungwort (Pulmonaria), and Bugleweed (Ajuga). Blue pansies are the perfect com panion planting to fragrant hyacinth 'Delft Blue' which will be the next to bloom. At about the same time, Spanish bluebells wjll be in full bloom. In a par tially shady location, Spanish bluebells and 'Heart leaf' Brunnera make a stun ning display. The spring season ends with a flour ish of iris 'Blue Diamond,' a good bulb for combining with Catnip (Nepeta), a small blue-flowering (similar to forget- me-nots) perennial. Bulb bulb picks: • Chiondoxa luciliae (Glory-of-the- snow) • Iris reticulata (Miniature iris) • Scilla siberica (Siberian squill) • Anemone blands 'Blue Shades' (Windflower) • Hyacinthus 'Delft Blue' • Muscari armeniacum (Grape hyacinth) • Iris hollandica 'Blue Diamond' (Dutch iris) The Pink Garden Bulbs planted in the fall will assure you of a full springtime season of blos soms. Shortly after the winter's last snow has melted, the flowers of Chionodoxa luciliae 'Pink Giant' will make their appearance. They bloom at the same time as does the pink-flowering Anemone blanda 'Charmer.' As they can both tolerate some shade, they will make a lovely display planted beneath deciduous shrubs. A good choice would be the pink-flowering ornamental cher ry, Prunas subhirtella 'Autumnalis,' a tree that bursts into bloom along with Community Notices Tender WAREHOUSE SALE Sat.

BO4-04/99 REPAIR AND RESURFACING OF ASPHALT PARKING LOTS at Oakville OH-4 Oakville Senior Citizen's Residence 2220-2222 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville Sealed tenders for the project will be received until 2:00pm local time October 20th, 1999, by the Regional Manager, Southern Re gional Office, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Ellen Fairclough Building, 14th Floor, 119 King Street West, Hamilton, Ontario L8P 4Y7 Tender Documents can be viewed or obtained through the of fice of the Regional Manager, address as noted above by contact ing Lori Christopher at (905)546-8246. A pre-bid meeting will be held for interested bidders on October 18th, 1999, at 1:30am. The lowest or any tender not necessary accepted. the bulbs. Next to bloom is the pink-cupped daffodil. Narcissus 'Pink Charm.' It's an eye-catcher when planted near such rose-coloured flowering shrubs as Ribes and Flowering almond (Prunus triloba). In a somewhat shady spot, Erythronium 'Rose Queen' steals the show, to be followed a few weeks later by Hyacinthus hispanica 'Rose Queen' which can also tolerate less sunshine. In mid-spring, the fabulous double flowering tulip 'Angelique' and fra grant pink hyacinths feel, right at home in a sugny spot accompanied by the somewhat lower-growing Oxalis and Allium roseum. Spring's last burst of bulb glory will be the tall, conspicuous flowers of Eremurus 'Romance,' which will make a lasting impression when planted among flowering peren nials. Pink Bulb Picks: • Chionodoxa luciliae 'Pink Giant' (Glory-of-the-snow) • Tulipa 'Angelique' (Double flow ering tulip) • Oxalis adenophylla (Pink cushion plant) • Eremurus 'Romance' (Foxtail lily, King's spear). • Narcissus 'Pink Charm' (Daffodil) • Hyacinthus 'Pink Pearl' (Hyacinth) • Allium roseum (Rose garlic, Ornamental onion) The While Garden White brightens up a garden and, even as night descends, white flowers remain visible. Planted in the fall, your white garden is sure to be a spring show-stopper. Plant snowdrops in the warmer 'micro climate' areas of your garden, so that their appearance is your first har binger of spring. Their white flowers are a lovely contrast to evergreen ground covers such as ivy (Hedera) or Periwinkle (Vinca). Next to flower, near, or under, a white/rose-flowering Star magnolia (Magnolia stellata) are the large-flow ered Crocus 'Jeanne d'Arc' and Anemone blanda 'White Splendour.' A few weeks later, it will be time for the appearances of the white flowers of sweetly scented hyacinth 'Carnegie' and Muscari botryoides 'Album.' Combining these with simultaneously flowering perennials Longwort (Pulmonaria 'Sissinghurst White') or Wall rock-cress (Arabis caucasica) will create picture perfect scene. Plant snow-white, fragrant Narcissus 'Thalis' under and around the white-flowered Bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba') for a spectacular mid-spring display. At the same time for a little something that will thrive in a moist location, consider the creamy blossoms of Leucojum aes- tivum and/or Carnissia leichtlini 'Alba.' Lastly, in late spring/early summer, the blooms of Omithogalum arabicum create a surprising combination when mixed with the creeping, white-flower ing Snow-in-winter (Cerastium Tomentosum). White Bulb Picks: • Galanthus (Snowdrop) • Crocus 'Jeanne d'Arc' • Anemone blanda 'White Splendour' (windflower) • Hyacinthus 'Carnegie' (Hyacinth) • Muscari botryoides 'Album' (White grape hyacinth) • Narcissus 'Thalia' (Daffodil) • Leucojum aestivum (Summer snowflake) • Carnassia leichtlinii 'Alba' (Meadow hyacinth) • Amithogalum arabicum Star of Bethlehem) Halton Business Institute Grads Enter Job Market!
