ByCathyWilson AsIwritethisarticle,it is actually raining and has been since last night. Ev- eryone in my small town is cautious as the river is high and local flooding is imminent. Even the creek beside my house is very full and moving swiftly. Hope remains abundant though as cheery spring flowers emerge dressed in their bright colors. They weather the storms with- out damage and provide some joy during this ex- tremely wet and gloomy winter. As you walk down the sidewalk to my front door, you are greeted by the lovely fragrance of my daphne. The sweet scent greets you even before you notice the large shrub with its understated pink and white flowers. It is called daphne odora Aureomar- ginata. Not even the rain can dampen their lovely perfume. Bring some cut- tings inside and your entire house will smell exquisite. Before you reach the steps to my front door, you will also see gaily col- ored primroses dressed in bright blues, purples, yel- lows, pinks, magentas, or- anges and even red. To me they bring cheer and hope of spring to come. They can be found in any nursery — often in six-packs which are affordable in any bud- get! They are easy to grow and are reliable perenni- als. I have them intermixed with hyacinths and Vir- ginia Blue Bells. Hellebores are another delight in my garden which have been in bloom since December. They are excep- tional evergreen perenni- als which flower for sev- eral months in winter and spring. Usually the flow- ers are nodding. They are lovely when displayed float- ing in a wide bowl. My fa- vorite is Hellebore x bal- lardiae called Pink Frost because its flowers are out- ward facing. They are all charming though and a must have for any gardener. Want a flower guar- anteed to be deer resis- tant and require minimum care—not even summer wa- tering? Try the daffodil. I have them in all my gar- den beds. Some are early bloomers, some mid sea- son and some late season. If you enjoy daffodils as much as I do you will want to ex- tend their bloom time by buying all three varieties. They make great cut flow- ers. However, they secrete a substance when freshly cut which causes other flowers to wilt. To avoid this, soak them over night, then rinse. They then can be used in a mixed display. Otherwise a lovely bouquet of daffo- dils by themselves create a cheery centerpiece. And the last of my choice winter perennials is the bergenia. Bergenias are fab- ulous evergreens that are not fussy. I enjoy their ro- settes of large green leaves which create much added texture to the garden bed— a wonderful bold ground- cover mat. Their 12 to 18 inch clusters of pink flowers add sparkle and warmth even during the chilly winter season. Try all five of these sen- sational perennials and, you too, can enjoy an early spring in winter. The Red Bluff Garden Club meets at 12:30 p.m. on the last Tuesday of ev- ery month. This month it is the 28 at the Community Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. Our speaker will be Tom Shoults who started the Plow Share Projects here in Tehama County.

Police logs The new charter for Te- hama county, adopted by a special election held in Oc- tober 1915, was endorsed by the legislature of the state Thursday. It passed the committee without a dissenting vote, Senator Kehoe making a strong plea for endorsement of the charter. The new charter rec- ommends many changes in the government of the county. It was framed by fifteen free-holders... The charter carried at the spe- cial election by a majority of about two hundred. The charter provides that the supervisors shall not levy a tax to exceed $1.65 in any one year, ex- cept they first secure a three-fifths vote of the people for an increase. The charter provides for the consolidation of a number of the county offices, and provides for a general re- duction in salaries. The charter provides that the district attor- ney shall be an ex-officio public administrator, the sheriff assumes the duties of the coroner, the trea- surer takes on the duties of the tax collector and li- cense collector, the county clerk becomes ex-officio recorder, the county phy- sician assumes the duties of the county health offi- cer, and the county horti- cultural commissioner be- comes also farm adviser. — March 2, 1917 100 YEARS AGO...
