Show The Summerbird I Thousands of flowers add to SUSC Making the campus colorful for the summer is no easy job The Southern Utah State College campus is ablaze with colorful flowers each summer as the result of a working relationship between the college's grounds and botany departments. This summer, for example, nearly 10,000 marigolds will be scattered about campus with several thousand zinnias around the Utah Shakespearean Festival's Adams Memorial Theater. Hundreds of petunias and geraniums will also add to the colorful summer campus. "We start our marigold seeds around the end of February," says Gary Howe, the attendant for the college's greenhouse. "Plant operations buys the seeds, peat moss and empty flats and we do the work up until the time the grounds crews take over to the actual outdoors planting." From an initial expenditure of about $100, 150 flats of marigolds, each flat containing 72 plants, can be grown, 'That's quite a savings when you consider that flats can cost as much as $10," Howe adds. The Utah Shakespearean Festival buys seeds for the zinnias and petunias. Zinnias started earlier this spring will be planted in the next few weeks. Marigolds are being planted now by an grounds crew. 'The relationship between the grounds and botany dejpartments is a very beneficial one," says Professor of Botany A1 Tait. "Botany majors and minors get credit and experience through the greenhouse practicum course, and six-b- ay RON AND CRIS Old fashion Baking at Old fashion Prices Cedar City 2 grounds recognizes a great savings in flowering plants." Gary Davis, SUSC grounds supervisor, says that the cooperative flower growing venture has worked out very well. 'We really appreciate the help we get each year in our beautification efforts," SUSC students Jeffry Hookano, Stuart B. Riley, Gwen Thomas and Cathleen Prestwich will take credit for planting the thousands of flowers. Botany majors Ted Hallows and Ned Henderson worked in the greenhouse spring quarter. Greenhouse practicum students sowed the tiny seeds in seed flats which they kept moist under a watering device called a mister. When the first set of "true leaves" appeared, they transplanted the tiny seedlings into growing flats, the transplanting process called "pricking" or "dibbling." Just two ounces of marigold seeds can produce the 150 flats of flowers, Howe notes. This year a half ounce of tall gold marigolds were planted along with and ounce of medium height yellow marigolds and a half ounce of short bronze marigolds. 'The short ones are called Happy Red' but they're actually a bronze color since there are no true red marigolds." he adds. The zinnias scheduled for planting around the Shakespearean festival are a new variety, a showy reddish violet border plant that's received Flower" status. 585-457- Catering Service Sandwich Bar Homemade Pies fresh Pastries Special Hoagie Sandwich $1.79 Pastrami Roast Beef Turkey Ham Soft Flour Taco Buy "All-Americ- an selection of classes during the summer at SUSC.
