Mrs. Smith is rlub speaker The Nosegay Garden Club held its January 8 meeting at the home of Mrs. J. L. Mc Cord. Co-hostesses were Mrs. J. H. Holcombe and Mrs. Fred Jones. In the absence of the president Mrs. B. E. Eader, the vice-president, Mrs. J. E. Holcombe presided. Horticulture chairman Mrs. McCord remind ed members that wax plants and house plants need partial rest in winter months. Mem bers were advised to withhold fertilizer, keep soil moderately dry and place plants in cool areas until more sunlight be comes available in Spring. Mrs. John Earle Smith gave interested members suggestions for “shrubs for lasting beauty and easy maintenance”. Mrs. Smith’s opening remarks were a reminder that shrubs and plants are the most significant factors in the entire process of life on this planet. The only source of oxygen we breathe is photosynthesis by shrubs. We use medicines that are products of plants and shrubs. Shrubs add beauty to your grounds with ornamental plants properly placed. Mrs. Smith likes azaleas best in the land scape scene for showy plants and they require little care. They are perfect talisman of Southern gardens. Camellias are ideal for use behind azaleas. Rhododendrons also contribute a pleasing year-round contrast to the rich, dull green of aza leas foliage. Most azaleas pre fer a sunny exposure on a loca tion where they will receive dir ect sunlight for at least a por tion of the day. They can be moved at any season of the year. Some other spring flowering shrubs are forsythia, hydrangea, spirea, weigela or cardinal, also Scotch broom, flowering quince, bush honeysuckle, butterfly bush, fragrant French lilacs, dainty pussy willow. Flowering crabapple are deciduous trees or shrubs. Some crabapples are suited to one-story houses and smaller yards as well as to large estates, parks and high way plantings. The flowers will range from white to brilliant pink and purple. The flowers are single, semidouble or dou ble. Hollies are among the most popular ornamental shrubs and trees. They will grow in var ious kinds of soils. Shrubs range from one foot to twenty feet in height. Hollies are ever green or deciduous. Female hol lies produce berries, red, yel low or black. Color depends on species and variety. Male hol lies produce no berries. Buy hollies from a nursery. Trans planting from woods is not very successful. Among the summer flower ing shrubs is the butterfly bush. This shrub has tapering spikes of tiny fragrant red, white, pink, lilac or purple flowers, each with a spot of orange in its throat. Crape Myrtle sometimes will reach the proportions of a tree. If they are cut off in the spring the plant grows back as a many stemmed shrub about three feet high. New branches form buds which open in August into showy red, white, and purple flowers that last until frost. Althea is an easy to grow shrub. It grows in heat, drouth, cold and almost any soil. The only fault is propensity, start ing seedlings in places you don’t want them. You can get pink, red, white blue-violet and bi-color combinations. Euonymus changes its stylish dress to suit the seasons. It has yellow flowers in May to June followed by red berries and beautiful foliage. Summer Glow (Tamarix) has evergreen like foliage. The bush is covered with delicate pink flower sprays in August and September when most other shrubs have finished blooming. Nandinas are a year-round shrub. It blooms in the spring then puts on red berries which last all winter until cut off in February or March. Mrs. Smith concluded with suggestions on maintenance and this beautiful description of gardens: “Earth’s crammed with heaven and every common shrub afire with God”. Lombardo brings his Canadians to Columbia Guy Lombardo, who is a le gend in his own right, is bring ing his Royal Canadian Orches tra to the Columbia Township Auditorium on Thursday, Mar. 5 at 8 p.m. under the auspices of the Columbia Music Festival Association. Guy Lombardo, who studied music at an early age, was bom in London, Ontario, Can ada. His parents wanted all of their children to have a mus ical education. He organized a small band in grammar school and as he grew older his orchestra continued to grow. Of the men who started with Guy in the early days, six are still with his band. Lombardo came to the Unit ed States and was one of the first to have his music broad cast on radio. From there, his music was on radio networks from coast to coast. That was when the critic, Aston Stevens, gave Lombardo’s music the name of being the “sweetest music this side of Heaven”. Guy Lombardo and his Roy al Canadians were signed by the Hotel Roosevelt in New York City and they played there from 1929 until 1965, which has no parallel in the history of show business. In the summer of 1964, Lom bardo started producing huge extravaganza’s at Jones Beach in New York such as “Arabian Nights”, “Show Boat”, “Hit the Deck” and “Around the World in 80 Days”. His latest was “South Pacific” which was the most successful and an attend ance record was established. Four of the Lombardo broth ers are still with the band: Guy, Carmen, Lebert and Victor. A biography of Guy Lombardo has just been published by McGraw- Hill. Each New Year’s Eve, Mr. Lombardo has a color television show from the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, playing the immor tal “Auld Lang Syne”. Tickets may be secured at the Columbia Music Festival Association, 1527 Senate Street, Columbia, S. C. 29201.
