POLICELOGS The meeting of fruit growers to be held in the Chamber of Commerce room this afternoon should be of special inter- est to every fruit grower in Tehama county and espe- cially the owners of peach orchards. In addition to discussing the various matters of interest rela- tive to fruit growing, the men who will address the meeting will also endeavor to form a local branch of a state peach growers as- sociation. This association is to be similar in organi- zation, management, and purpose, to the immense selling organizations of the California raisin grape growers. —Nov.12,1915 100 YEARS AGO... Meeting for organization to assist peach growers Nov. 10 is the Marine Corps birthday and this year the 240th celebra- tion was held on Satur- day, Nov. 7 at the Elks Lodge in Red Bluff. The guest speaker this year was Jack Closson, First Sergeant, USMC re- tired, who travelled up from Orange County. Roy Ford, a survivor of Iwo Jima in World War II, resides at Brook- dale — formerly Lassen House Emeritus — on Lu- ther Road. On Sunday morning Closson visited Ford with Marine Corps League Detachment 1140 Commandant Buddy Male and Chaplain John Min- ton. Male brought a piece of the birthday cake to Ford. Closson wanted to meet Ford, a recipient of the Silver Star and Pur- ple Heart among other awards. The Silver Star is the third highest award in the military for brav- ery under extreme fire and circumstances. Ford was wounded by a Japa- nese soldier's bullet fired at close range. Ford also became a ro- deo champion in Califor- nia and throughout the region after the war. He remembered that back in those days there were struggles with the Veterans Administration but is relieved that it has gotten much better. Several years after the war he said it seemed like nobody cared about vet- erans. Ford said he wants to leave the message to Americans that Ma- rines and all other vet- eran brothers and sisters should be more appreci- ated for their service in all eras. "Veterans are the ones who have kept this coun- try free and they all served under one flag, the American flag," Ford said.

By Millie Seiber Perennials have such a wide range of choices that you can literally spread your wings and go for it. They are as di- verse as Clematis Ni- obe on one end of the list through Gayfeather, Gooseneck strife, and all he way to Zwanenbur Blue Spiderwort. Niobe Clematis is one of the large-flow- ered Clematis which pro- duces six-petaled 4 to 5 inch blossoms in such a dark red that they look nearly black. It is good in zones 3 to 9, needs partial shade and rich, cool, moist, well-drained soil. After all that being said, Clematis will do well in our area. Listris spicata or spike gayfeather is a plant that is hard to discourage. It will persist through a wide se- lection of soil conditions. It is good in zones 3 to 9. The variety "Kobold" is a strik- ing candle of rosy lavender- purple, great for flower ar- rangers. The flowers open from the top down and are excellent cut flowers. Gooseneck loosestrife — now there's a name for you. Lysimachia clethroides if you insist. This is another plant that is easy to grow — almost too easy. It can sometimes get invasive, but is easily controlled. It gets to be about three feet toll and the curving white blossoms actually look like goosenecks sticking up. Trradescantia "Zwanen- burg Blue" — not an unfa- miliar genus. We've all en- countered plants name for the Tradescant brothers before, I'm sure. The flow- ers are a rich, regal blue with white stamens which add a sparkle to their deep coloration. The foliage is somewhat coarse looking so if you can plant it close to a plant with nicer foliage it will help. As I stated earlier, there are so many perennials it is hard to choose. Of course, there the old favorites like yarrow which has a hy- brid "Coronation Gold" — a good bright color which is easy to grow to about 24 inches in your garden. Hollyhocks are another common perennial which can add a lovely row of color at the back of your garden. Most Hollyhocks are biennial/perennials — that is, they flower the second year after sowing, but they may live for years with they have an good rich soil and adequate wa- ter. And then there are the asters, what a group. They run all the way from As- ter x frikartis "Monch" to "Alma Potsehke" New Eng- land aster with more than 600 species and thou- sands of hybrids. "Alma Potschke" is a good ex- ample of hybridization — a stunning bright pink which gives a dazzling dis- play. Well, I could go on and on but you'll have to do your own choosing as to which you can't live with- out. Bon chance.
