Color All Summer
Most of the bedding plants
that were planted in the Spring
for early Summer and mid-Sum-
mer blooms are just about thro-
ugh blooming, and my yard
looks so drab without some col-
or. I have just a few scattered
flowers on my roses and olean-
ders, also a hibiscus flower ev-
ery so often. Now, that’s what
I hear every day. How can I
have nice bedding plants dur-
ing all this- heat?
My arisw'ei*' tb most of these
people asking this question is
that my wife is having the sa-
me trouble; however she gen-
erally solves the problem by
planting a few things that will
produce pretty flowers no mat-
ter how hot it may get.
My wife and I were discus-
sing this very thing just the
other day, and the little woman
came up with a very good Idea.
She plans to plant Marigolds.
All of us know what a heavy
bloomer they are, and the hot-
ter the temperature the better
they seem to do. Marigolds co-
me in three or four different
colors, solid yellow, orange, yel-
low and brown, and maroon and
brown. Some of the marigold
plants are dwarf and grow into
a very nice flowering border.
We have used this dwarf bor-
der planting before, and there
is never a day that passes that
you wont have hundreds of flow-
ers. I have seen one plant pro-
duce nearly one hundred blooms
in a week.
The larger growing marigolds
will reach to as much as three
feet in height and bloom the
same way. Any of the different
types will give your yard that
added touch of color during the
Summer heat. And in addition
they will continue to grow right
on until cold weather. Water
them deeply, and this will help
them to form strong root syst-
ems. The stronger the root sys-
tem, the stronger and more resi-
stant any plant is to the heat.
Another Summer plant that
will bloom all through the heat
is the Portulaca. Some of you
will know this as the Moss rose.
Portulacs come In many colors,
pink, red, white, yellow, oran-
ge, and flowers of varigated
colors. The plants are low grow-
ing and very compact; mak-
ing them ideal bedding plants.
They should be planted in full
sun if you expect them to do
their best.
A solid bed of portulacas is
very showy, and you will find
them very interesting plants.
Each morning about nine, nil
the flowers will oepn; and the
many colored inch and one half
blooms will catch your eye. Al-
ong about two in the afternoon,
all the flower will close, and you
will probably .think it is all over.
Then the next morning at nin#,
the plants will repeat this per-
formance; and this goes on for
days on end.
Another oddity of the portula-
ca is that a plant may produce
one color flower for a month or
so, and then change and pro-
duce some other color. Some
may produce Solid red flowers
This season's programs of
the Houston. Symphony Orches-
tra, announced today, will of-
fer a greater variety of sym-
phonic literature than has been
heard here for several years,
despite the fact that fewer con-
ductors will occupy the podium.
Leopold Stokowski will begin
his farewell season as Music
Director of the orchestra with
the gala opening concerts Oct.
17 and 18, and will conduct ei-
ght of the 16 pairs of concerts.
Sir Malcolm Sargent, as prin-
cipal guest conductor, will dir-
ect six pairs, and Andre Kostel-
anetz and Ezra Rachlin will con-
duct one pair each.
The Houston Chorale will sing
with the orchestra three times
during the season in four differ-
ent works: "The Planets” by
Holst, "Belshazzar’s Feast” by
Walton, and the final chorus of
“Die Meistersinger" and the Va-
nusburg Music from "Tannhau-
ser”, both by Wagner.
For the first time, Stokowski
will conduct the “bonus con-
cert”, free to all scbscribers to
the complete series. An all-Wa-
gner program with Eileen Far-
rell and the Chorale, it is plan-
ned as a climax both to the
season and to Stokowski’s six
years tenure with the Houston
orchestra. The maestro has pro-
grammed works of the great
masters, including Bach, Beet-
hoven, Hydn, Mozart and Wag-
ner, along with works h
European and
posers.
While Sir
favored the
ic repertorie, his
include the first
formance of the
Hams double
th Vronsky and
ists, and Mahler's
Earth” with English
chard Lewis and Soy._„
nie Tourel. «
In addition to then
and pianists, there is
ing array of soloists for
son, starting with
will perform toe Mozart
Concerto in C Minor with Stokow
ski. Now a concert pianist of
stature as well as conductor,
Rachlin first performed with
Stokowski many years ago wh-
en he was the first soloist with
the Philadelphia orchestra.
Other pianists engaged are lfl-
cole Henriot Schweitzer, Clau-
dio Arrau, Rudolf Firkusny,
Glenn Gould and William Mas*
selos. Masselos will be the first
artist to appear here in the pro-
gram of toe Ford Foundation to
encourage artists in the human-
ities and the arts when he per-
forms the world premiere of an
especially commissioned work
by Ben Weber.
Three eminlent violins ists are
scheduled to appear: Isaac St-
ern, Mixcha Elman and Houst-
on’s own Fredell Lack.

for a while; and then, for some
unknown reason, start putting
on stripped blooms of red and
pink, or even white.
There is little reason for you .. H|
not to have flowers in the yard ver**IU®
all through the summer. All it
takes is a little planning ahead,
and a little water always helps.
If you like, you can always pla-
nt a new bed of Zinnias. They
may not be the fanciest of flow-
ers; but you’ll have to admit
they can stand this summer heat
and help make the house look
more like a home by dressing
up the yard.
Wood is said by the U. S. For-
est Service to be man’s oldest,
and most versatile raw material.

“The Princess has designed her own
teaset for a famous house to execute.”
This statement in the official programme
for H.R.H. Princess Margaret’s wedding
broke a two-year silence maintained by
the ‘famous house’— W. T. Copeland &
Sons Ltd., Stoke-on-Trent.
It was on June 25, 1957, that Mr. R.
Spencer C. Copeland, managing director,
was first called to Clarence House,
where Princess Margaret showed him
her finely coloured drawings of the tea-
set.
From these drawings the pieces were
modelled, each piece being taken to
Clarence House for approval of the shape
before decorating was started. One or
two modifications were carried out at
this stage.
The decoration is one of panels of gold-
edged, pastel grey feathers arranged
radically on a rich, royal blue ground-
laid background, with gold also applied
to handles and rims. Blythe Colour
Works co-operated in producing the
correct shade of royal blue which was
finally achieved by two groundlaying
applications.
The teapot knob—a most unusual feature
—is a coronet of metallic gold fastened
to a boss of china. The service for 12
persons, also Includes a covered muffin,
covered butter and cake plates.
On one occasion during its production,

Princess Margaret paid a surprise visit
to the factory, when she saw how the
work was progressing. Hie service toe*
nearly 12 months to complete.
Two other Spode Items were also in the
news at the time of the Royal Wedding.
One, a bone china liqueur set, was the
gift to the Princess and Mr., Antony
Armstrong-Jones of the student of Keele
University. The pieces were six minia-
ture cups and saucers — two each of
‘Fleur de Lis,’ ‘Coral’ and ‘Colonel’
patterns In pink, grey and green—on a
china tray back-stamped with the Uni-
versity crest and the wedding date, and
a stoppered Royal College decanter,
decorated with the ‘Colonel’ pattern in
gold.
The other, the gift of the Isle of Man,
was a 12-person dinner service in
Spode’s ‘Chatham’ pattern, incorpora-
ting the Royal Cipher on the rim and
Roy;
backstamped with the three-legs symbol
of Man.
At this stage, only a symbolic plate has
been presented, the remainder of the
service being in production. It is being
made with china stone flux quarried in
the Isle of Man.
Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Copeland receiv-
ed private invitations to the Royal
Wedding, which they witnessed from
the North Transept of Westminstof
