ByCathyWilson In my last article I showed three different pic- tures showing the effect of combining different leaf shapes in combinations for interest in the garden. The pictures showed the com- bination of pairs of plants. This time I wanted to dis- play several different leaf forms in a larger section to reveal the overall impact it creates. Going to a nursery takes on a new meaning when searching for specific plants to be mixed with existing ones already established in your garden. It's more fun and exciting to search for a certain leaf shape than eas- ily choosing a colorful flow- ered specimen as you've al- ways done before. You enter into a new world of plants that maybe never appealed to you. It is a new adven- ture. Just as an artist paints her canvas, you can create your own beauty using tex- ture. I recommend using vary- ing texture plants espe- cially along walkways or in a formal bed at the front entrance of a home. This is where your guests can espe- cially appreciate the visual excitement that you have created. I am not recommend- ing that your entire land- scape just be texture. As with any good design aes- thetic elements must be combined with structural and functional elements. Color and shape with tex- ture play key roles in your landscape. In this picture you can see the large, bold flowers and leaves of the hydran- gea blend well with the strappy leaves of the iris as well as the even larger rounded leaves of berge- nia and also the weeping narrow leaves of the Japa- nese forest grass. It creates a lovely vignette. Remember, when plan- ning, shopping or plant- ing engage your heart and soul. Without passion, gar- dening just becomes hard work. For me, it is like creat- ing an artistic master piece. TheRedBluffGardenClub is a member of Cascade District, California Garden Clubs, Inc. and Pacific Region, National Garden Clubs, Inc.

Police logs Owing to the fact that a large number of people will be away at Thanksgiv- ing time, and to the uncer- tainty of the weather that season of the year, Jack Hendrix, who is promot- ing a big race meet for Red Bluff, has decided to change the date to Satur- day, October 23rd. There is to be a big rac- ing meet at the exposition in San Francisco on Sat- urday, October 30th and the local meet will give Northern California own- ers an opportunity to get their horses into condi- tion. The coming races are already creating consid- erable enthusiasm among local business men and sportsmen. Already plans are under way to make the event the occasion of another big day for Red Bluff, such as occurred on the completion of the Main street paving. Many prominent mer- chants and the bank offi- cials have agreed to close their places of business from 1 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon in order that ev- eryone might attend the races. Enquiries are begin- ning to come in from out- side horsemen who want to book entries and horses are expected from all over Northern California. — Sept. 10, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
