SECRET WITNESS 529-1268 By KATHY BRAMHALL Breeding plants and flowers for fragrance is "in" these days. After decades of breeding out scent, as unimportant, many hybridizers have turned their focus to breeding scent back into plants. Plant nurseries are promoting fragrance as a new attribute of their wares. Gardening writers are addressing scent in catalogue descriptions, magazine articles, and books. Catalogues use only two or three words to describe scent which leaves one believing identifying scent is very simple when it is actually very complex. We humans have very emotional responses to scents/fragrances based on our experiences. A few years ago I attended a National Garden Club Symposium in Montana where the instructor gave us an exercise in identifying scent. She passed around twelve different candles and asked us to identify the fragrances. I must admit, that after three or four "flavors" my olfactory nerves went haywire, but I persevered and took a stab at identifying the remaining eight scents. To my chagrin I got only six out of twelve correct, some participants got only two or three. The instructor explained that getting only two or three correct is common. This test, though not scientific, made us recognize how under-developed our sense of smell is. (Dogs and other animals must laugh at us.) My dictionary defines fragrance as a noun, the state or quality of being fragrant or a pleasant scent; sweet odor; while fragrant is identified as an adjective, as in having as agreeable or sweet smell. The word scent is a noun, defined as a distinctive odor, especially a pleasant one or an extract from flowers or other fragrant substances; perfume. These definitions again make simple a very complex response. Scented roses are making a big come-back. I have three in my gar- den that are recognized for being highly fragrant i.e. 'Golden Celebrations', 'Sombreuil', and 'Zephirine Drouhin', there are many others. Not all roses have the same fragrance. I really can't tell you what fragrance my roses are— only words like wonderful and heavenly come to my mind. Rose Story Farm in Carpinteria specializes in fragrant roses. Jackson & Perkins have a line of "perfume" roses—Honey Perfume, Radiant Perfume, Melody Parfumee. Many other plants are known for their scent—lavender and many other herbs, carnations, petunias, freesia, lilies. Think of the scents of ripe vegetables warmed by the summer sun—tomatoes, peppers, beans, cucumbers, and of course garlic and onions. Visit a garden center and treat yourself, and your nose, to a new perfume.

Chamber Commerce Against Proposed High School Law The second meeting of the board of directors of the newly organized chamber of commerce was held at the chamber rooms last. Several members of the board of trustees of the Red Bluff high school together with Superintendent Hartrell, were present to discuss with the chamber a bill that has been introduced in the legislature by Assemblyman Van Bernard having to do with the organization of high school districts, making it entirely too easy to create high schools in sections where it is not possible for such schools to flourish for lack of support. — Jan. 31, 1923
