Get Ready,
. SET.
by John Atiee
SO YOU THINK the gardening season is over now that we've
had frost. Think again. The garden has just been relocated. It's
inside the house until about Feb.
With the holidays upon us we need to start paying attention
to our house plants. One of the biggest problems is over water-
ing. If there is water in the saucer after one hour you have over
watered the plant. Plants will do better if you let them dry out a
bit before you water.
Soon we will see poinsettias in all of their spectacular glory
and color. There is a wealth of new hybrids and they are wonder-
ful. Keep all of these plants in a cool room and away from heater
vents. They like moderate light most of the day and long dark
nights. Look for plants that have not opened their buds. They
will last longer. Water them only when they look a bit droopy.
They are sensitive to over watering.
If you are forcing bulbs for winter bloom, leave them in a cool
to cold location until they root and begin to show growth. Then
bring them into bright light. Amaryllis is a wonderful spectacle
with its immense blooms. They will need a large pot with fresh
potting soil because they will need to continue to grow until late
next year. Plant these bulbs twelve weeks before you want them
to bloom.
Cut flowers always brighten the house during the winter.
Make sure the container is clean. Add a couple of drops of Chlo-
rine bleach and about one-half teaspoon of sugar to the water.
Recut the stems before putting them in the vase. Most bouquets
should last about 10 to 14 days. Carnations and stock will add a
nice fragrance to the room. You can strengthen the stems with
florist wire. It's very useful for formal arrangements.
Late December, early January brings the new seed catalogs.
Yipeee!
Good gardening.

Wolf Creek Museum
By Dorothy Shoenhils
Plans are being finalized for our yearly Christmas Open House.
Delmar and Karen Loesch and their sons have volunteered to perform
during our Old-Fashioned Christmas program. The Loesch's are tal-
ented musicians and singers from Booker. Delmar plays the acoustic
guitar and son Danny plays the bass guitar while Karen and David will
be singing the Christmas Carols. The Loesch family are excellent vo-
calists and their talents will be a treat for us. We also have a commit-
ment from Delbert Trew to relate some of his humorous readings and
remembrances of the "Old Days."
Delbert writes a weekly column for the Amarillo paper and he has
published several books. He will have a book signing during the social
hour. Refreshments will be served at the program, which is December
1, from 2-4 p.m. at the Museum on Highway 305 and Main in
Lipscomb. The museum has copies of his latest book "It's all Trew"
and his other published books.
Our sales of the Lipscomb County Flag are increasing. We do need
paid orders for 25 before we submit the order. Checks may be mailed to
Wolf Creek Museum, P. O. Box 5, Lipscomb, Texas. The flags are very
attractive. The museum will make a small profit from the sale and we
do appreciate the support of the county residents who have shown an
interest in flying this attractive emblem.
Three of our volunteers, Virginia Scott, Kelly Kjos, and Lovella
Theissen attended a workshop "Preservation in the Plains" in Canyon
November 14. The trio made the trip at their own expense to help them
in their efforts to preserve and protect our Lipscomb County trea-
sures. The museum staff has donated a great deal of time, energy and
money to maintain a quality museum. We owe them a great big thank
you for their dedication.
