Folsom H. P. 0 NE OF THE areas leading gardening authorities, Walter M. Keller, secretary of the Mens Garden Club of Salt Lake, has this to say of the worthwhile hobby. "My years of retirement have been happy ones because gardening is a creative avocational pursuit in which one may exercise physically and mentally as suits his inclination and at the same time feel that he is a useful citizen in his community. H. P. Walgren, 1406-lltEast, has been retired for some time and he, like Mr. Keller, finds gardening a stimulating hobby. Although he will be 86 years old in December, he plants and cares for his lovely garden. Smooth green lawns, plenty of comfortable chairs in which to relax and cool shade are prominent features in the Walgren garden. A SPECIAL feature is a boat area in which he has planted all yellow flowers. He calls this, his boat of gold. One hundred and fifteen geraniums bloom in another section and he has given his family many slips from these plants. Fruit trees furnish a glory of bloom in the early spring, shade in the hot summer and an abundant harvest in the fall. Twenty-- t h r e e lilacs perfume the spring air while hundreds of choice tulips blossom at their feet. He favors red peonies and roses, but you will find pink and white ones there as well. Nothing pleases Mr. Walgren more than to hold a family reunion in his beautiful garden when his children and grandchildren come from California. Second on his list of hobbies is classical music. He has many fine records, which he enjoys very much. Reading history is another pastime. Mr. Walgren is the father of Mrs. Gilbert d 6 per gal.

This club is very civic minded and they always have a number of community beautification projects. Their library planting this year was especially lovely. They also have planted flowers at several other business places. Clarissa Murdock is president of the group. Other officers are Lois Fox, Marvel Murdock, Gladys Lawton, Hope Mohr, Minnie Cummings, Nola Davi6, Rae Wright, Nora Milliner, Marie T. Greer, Lona Ford and Ann Ritchie. Hope Mohr brought a armful of glads to the meeting, each one, I am certain, would have been a prize winner in any show. The Heber Valley Garden Club is a perfect example of how an active garden .club can be a great community asset. Is your garden club doing its best to assist in making your town a better place in which to live, Salt Lake City, September 25, 1960 This year, new thousands of American families have freed themselves from the strain of pushing a lawn mower by adding a power mower to their list of home appliances. Now, faced by the long winter months, these new owners must store away their mower until next season. "What must I do to protect my power mower? they are likely to ask.

There are complete indexes to both common and scientific names of all plants in the book. The main section of the handbook is devoted to brief descriptions of the plants, which are in alphabetical order under seven different headings: Dwarf conifers, ever green trees; dwarf or trees; and deciduous trees planted for foliage; mature size of the plant, the flower, foliage and fruit char- acters, season of bloom, and zone of hardiness. This handbook may be ob- tained from Brooklyn Botankr Garden, Brooklyn 25, New York for one dollar. sional service technician will "little do such impoitant as the dean air filter, things clean and adjust the carburetor, check for worn or broken parts before they cause expensive damage, and clean and inspect the starting mechanism.

Remove the spark plug and pour three teaspoonfuls of engine oil (SAE 30) into the cylinder. Spread the oil evenly over the internal surfaces by cranking the engine slowly, then replace the spark plug. A little grease spread on the cutting edge of the blades will prevent rust during storage.
