'Mums' Program At
Pharr Garden Club
The Pharr Garden Club met in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Silas
Hanson for their regular meeting.
The president, Mrs. Sarah Prit-
chard, opened the meeting with
members reading the Garden Club
Creed.
The door prize an Easy Care ger-
anium donated by Lewis Nursery,
was won by Mrs. Norman Bluhm.
Mrs. C. W. Bowers, conservation
chairman, gave a brief talk on the
preservation of wild life, and read
a short poem which the Minnesota
Conservation Commission sponsored
an essay contest in 4‘What is Con-
servation”. A fifth grade boy from
Duluth won the first prize with
this entry: “Conservation is where
we live, what we eat and what we
wear, and if we don’t we won’t.”
Mrs. Norman Bluhm gave some
ideas to be used at this time. Prune
all shrubs-unless in bloom. Fertilize
«nd use extra nitrogen; spray and
dust against mildew and fungus,
start heavy watering if rain is not
adequate, water deeply. DO NOT
sprinkle foliage of plants subject
in mildew. The club voted to con-
tribute $10,000 to the Valley Botani-
cal Garden for the new Potting
Shed.
Mrs. Pritchard thanked ill the
members who helped with the Plant
Sale which was a big success.
Following the business meeting,
Mrs. C. M. Cameron, program
chairman, introducted Mrs. Ken-
neth F a r i e s of Edinburg, guest
speaker. Her program was ‘‘Chry-
santhemums”. First prepare soil
well, peat moss or compost or belter
still both. Have good drainage,
plenty of water, but can’t stand in
water. They should be moved every
year, separated and reset. They
need to be cut back when through
blooming so they can make new
growth. When you have separated
and re-set them, as soon as they
make new growth pinch out tops.
Keep doing this in all except with
cushion type till about July and
August.
After the program refreshments
of finger sandwiches, cookies, nuts
and coffee were served by the fol-
lowing hostesses: Mmes R. B. Ber-
rie, Fred Sandoval, Sr. and Harry
Dulin.
