SUSANVILLE DiscoverLas- sen County by joining Las- sen Land and Trails Trust on a hike to the Terminal Geyser 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sat- urday, Aug. 23. Walking will be mod- erate covering 4.2 miles round trip. Hikers will ex- plore Willow Lake, walk up through the forest and on to the active geyser. The hike will be led by experienced hikers, Steve Fleming and Andrew Haut, who are the Trust's volunteers. Steve has years of expe- rience leading hikes with the Sonoran Conservancy of Fountain Hills, Arizona, and Andrew is a life-long hiker. Willow Lake is a frag- ile, rare and special place. There are floating mats of sphagnum moss which support unusual and some insectivorous plants. It is a Botanical Special Inter- est Area in Lassen Na- tional Forest. The balance of the hike will be in the cool mixed forest and will be an upward climb to the bubbling geyser. Bring a wrapped packet hot lunch to heat in the many pools. Limited space is available. Registration is free and is first come, first served. To register, call Lassen Land and Trails Trust at (530) 257-3252 or e-mail info@lassenlandandtrail- strust.org or friend the Trust at www.facebook/ LassenLandTrust or join the Trust's Meet Up group at www.meetup.com/Dis- cover -Lassen. Since a por- tion of the hike traverses trails in Lassen Volcanic National Park, no dogs will be allowed. Lassen Land and Trails Trust, a non-profit mem- ber supported organiza- tion, actively works to conserve significant nat- ural areas and working landscapes and to pro- mote and enhance a sys- tem of leading public trails in northeastern Cal- ifornia — where the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, Modoc Plateau and the Great Ba- sin converge, a unique re- gion rich in agricultural heritage, wildlife and sce- nic vistas.

LASSEN Terminal Geyser hike scheduled on Aug. 23 COURTESYPHOTO Hikers in Lassen National Park view the Terminal Geyser during a visit. By Diane Cleland Red Bluff Garden Club has numerous events throughout the year, some to earn money to defer costs of our com- munity enhancement projects; scholarship program and some to promote informational and educational pro- grams. There are many other events but in June the club holds its annual Potluck/Picnic ending another busy but suc- cessful year. This event is always looked for- ward to because it al- lows members be able to sit back and relax and enjoy each other's com- pany. The highlight, be- sides the yummy food, is the plant exchange, this is where members bring a plant to participate in the swap. Maintopic This brings me to the topic of this article. When my number was called to pick out the plant of my choice, I was in a quandary. My eye kept going to a beauti- ful Angelwing Begonia which kept saying "pick me, pick me." My hesita- tion was due to the fact that my tract history of successfully grow- ing any begonia was dis- mal; in fact I seemed to have the kiss of death for these plants. Well I flung caution to the wind and picked up the plant of my choice, turning to the mem- ber who brought it, and gave her my fervent hope that it would sur- vive and apologizes if it didn't. This was due to the fact that the donor grows magnificent bego- nias, winner of multiple awards at flower shows, envy of other members of the club, need I go on. The pressure was on, I was determined to learn all I could to help my Angelwing Begonia grow up not only to be a survivor but as a source of pride to its owner. My research has given me the following knowledge and the belief that 'I can do this'. First, according to all my research, Angelwing begonias are ridicu- lously easy to grow. Ha, we shall see. They are mainly grown as a house plant in our area for their large attractive, bronze and variegated foliage and flowers that hang in clusters of orange, pink or red flowers. They may grow to be two to four feet tall with canes that can grow up to twenty- four inches long. They prefer to be placed in bright indi- rect sunlight, with air temperatures between 50 to 75 degrees F. Wa- ter once or twice each week to keep the soil evenly moistened, allow- ing the water to drain through the pot so that the pot does not sit in excess water. They re- quire moderate humid- ity levels which can be maintained by mist- ing it once a week with warm water and setting the pot in a pebble-lined saucer filled with water. Make sure the pot is sit- ting on top of the gravel and not in the water. You may feed your Angelwing with a 20-20- 20 fertilizer at half the normal dosage rate once every two weeks, do not fertilize when it is in bloom. Also do not be in a hurry to move your plant into a larger con- tainer, they bloom best when their roots are just a bit crowded in the pot. Most begonias are eas- ily propagated from leaf, stem or rhizome cutting which is where my angel came from. Well now you know what I have learned and my success is on the ho- rizon. The Red Bluff Garden Club is affiliated with Cascade District Garden Club; California Garden Club, Inc.; Pacific Re- gion Garden Club, and National Garden Club, Inc. GARDEN CLUB Mynewangel In cooperation with the board of supervisors, W. E. Lewis, county horti- cultural commissioner, is launching a drive against ground squirrels in Te- hama county, a menace that gives farmers more or less concern. Some areas are reported to be badly infected. Lewis said today that lack of feed and wa- ter made it possible to kill more squirrels this season with poisoned barley. —Aug. 7, 1924 90 YEARS AGO...
