Visit Back Home
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lofland,
of Grant's Pass, Oregon; Mr.
and Mrs. Lester Sparlin of Wil
liams, Oregon, left on their re

Mrs. Lofland in Watauga coun

and Mrs. Milton M. Norris, Mrs.
Lofland was reared at the
Mouth of Pine Run Creek in
the Rutherwood section, and
left Watauga in 1004, when the
family went west. She was 13
at that time, and this is her
first visit back to Watauga.
She is amazed at the changes
which have taken place here
since her childhood days, and
particularly notes the fine
homes and business buildings
which have been erected, the
good roads, and the general eco
nomic well-being of the area.
"Everything," she says, "has
changed so much, I wouldn't
r
have even recognized my old
home place."
An Inveterate reader of the
Democrat, she is one of our
oldeit subscribers and says she
loves the paper.
The Loflins have retired
from their farming activities
and now spend a great deal of
time traveling, most of which
has been in California and Tex
as. Their friends in Watauga
will look forward to their re
turning for a longer visit here.

ana you won't be trouolea by
the usual drying leaves because
you cut them otf with the lawn
mower.
You will not get big blossoms
this way but the eftect can be
beautiful. Don't try to natural
ize the long-stemmed giants. Use
common Oaitodils, hyacinths and
crocuses. Take special care to
protect the bulbs from moles.
Bulbs will multiply less rapid

ward to an extra dividend in
bulbs every five years.
Plan naturalized bulbs inform

fifty or more bulbs of a single
color for the best effect. Individ
ual bulbs can be twelve inches
apart in the drift.
If your lawn is shaded, it will
not preevnt you from naturaliz
ing. By the time your shade
trees are fully leafed out, flower
buds for next year's bloom are
already present inside your

Naturalizing isn't a new idea.

it for younsell 'and you'll find
bulb growing a lot more fun than
you thought it could be.
