ByKathyBramhall Back in February John Whittlesey, author of "The Plant Lover's Guide to Sal- vias" (Timber Press, Inc. 2014) spoke at our garden club meeting. This book is an excellent resource if you are even slightly interested in salvias. In light of the drought this was a timely program as many types of salvia are drought-tolerant. Whittlesey is a landscape designer working out of the Chico Area. Of course he en- courages the use of salvias in the landscape. I have taken his advice and added a cou- ple more to my garden. There are over 900 spe- cies of salvia, with at least as many shapes, textures and colors. All salvias are in the mint family (Lamiaceae) and have square stems, op- posite leaves, and bilaterally symmetrical flowers (mirror images). What the culinary world calls sage, are salvias too; Salvia officinalis—save it for your herb garden or plant along with your other salvias. Several years ago I pur- chased 2 4-inch Salvia bran- degeei Pacific Blue from Flo- ral Native Nursery in Chico. These are in a border along the south side of my house, a very hot location. Right now the 2 foot stems are covered with the green, lance-shaped pebbled leaves; later they'll have lavender-blue flowers with darker bracts. These are California natives, so with once or twice a month deep watering they do fine. In 2011 I purchased 6 4-inch pots of Salvia greg- gii Navajo Bright Red at the local Wal-Mart. They are planted along a walk against a lattice fence. They've grown to 2 -3 feet tall and just as wide, of course the flowers are Navajo Bright Red and attract bees, and bumblebees too, butterflies and hummingbirds. I didn't get around to pruning it this year so it had flowers all year. One of my neighbors keeps bees so we had bees all year too! Usually I prune it back by in late winter. Two weeks ago at the Gar- den Club's annual plant sale I purchased 2 4-inch pots of Salvia. x sylvestris May Night which will grow to 2-2 feet tall and wide; have ob- long, medium green, slightly scalloped, fuzzy leaves and inch dark violet flowers with darker bracts. We just added them to that hot bor- der along the south side of the house. Based on my research I recommend you buy John's book and read it; lots of pictures by the way. Buy a few salvias that fit our Cli- mate Zone 8, keep them with moderate water the first year and see what hap- pens, you'll love it. The Gar- den Club is now on summer break. Our meetings start again on Aug. 25, come see what you can learn. RedBluffGardenClub is a 501(c)(3), affiliated with Cascade District, California Garden Clubs, Inc.

TO DO Historic truck, tractor show is in July As a preliminary to the program a number of pic- tures were thrown on the screen of the class rooms and assembly rooms show- ing their overcrowded con- dition and the disadvan- tages under which the teachers and pupils are working. In the course of the evening's program A. M. McCoy addressed the audience along this line, setting forth some rather astounding facts concern- ing the needs of the school and making some strik- ing comparisons with other schools in the state of this size. It was shown that the school building is even now being made to accommodate nearly twice as many students as it was built to accommo- date, and the attendance for next year will be much larger than ever in the his- tory of the school. — June 4, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
