THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD The Open Gate Garden Club met on September 11 with Mrs. Paul McGinnis. After a delicious dessert course was served to 17 members, Mrs. Eugene McCarter, President, welcomed members. Mrs. McCarter presented an interesting pro- gram on "Wildflowers in North Carolina." She stated that there are 2,945 species of flowering plants. Usually the native wildflowers grow only in the particular habitat to which they are adapt- ed. The varied environmental conditions in North Carolina influence plant distribution. The three geographic provinces - the mountains, the Piedmont and the coastal plains - all grow their own native plants. Depending upon the area of origin of the colonists, one particular plant may have several common names. "Buttercup" has been given to several plants belonging to yellow flowered species. The North Carolina Department of Transportation started a Wildflower Program in 1985. Many of the state's roadsides are beautiful during the growing season. The Wildflower Program is financed from the sale of personalized license plates. To start a wildflower bed, plow up the soil very ‘well: Add lime, if soil is acid, and fertilizer with 1-2-2. Fumigate the beds with Methyl Bromide to Page 3B | Mrs. McGinnis hosts Open Gate Garden Club meeting keep down weeds and grasses. Sow seeds trom September-November or from March-May.

Kings Mountain Garden Club holds first meeting of year The Kings Mountain Garden Club held its first meeting of the new club year last Wednesday at Mauney Memorial Library. Hilda Leonard, host- ess, served apple dapple cake with whipped cream, candy corn, party mix and a mixed fruit punch. Lynda Mauney Frye was welcomed as a new member. For the program Mary Pat Elledge introduced Mauney Librarian Rose Turner who gave an overview of gardening resources available at the library. Turner gave a brief history of herbs, not- ing that herbs can be used in practical ways in- volving cooking and medicine or in more artistic ways that spark the imagination such as the refer- ences to herbs in literature by great writers like Milton, Tennyson, Shakespeare and Chaucer. Herbs can be utilized as preservatives and aro- matics, as well as being the object of hobbies like home gardening and alternative landscaping. Turner referred to a number of books he had on display. Books available for checkout on herbs in- clude "The Essence of Herbs" by Ruth Wrensch given by the club in memory of Howard Jackson; "Using Herbs in the Landscape" by Debra Kirkpatrick and "New Age Herbalist" by Richard Mabey.

The soil must be fertile, requiring 5 to 10 percent of organic mat- ter. It must be deep, reaching a depth of 10 to 15 inches and it must be well drained, with brown soils being preferable to gray soils. All culinary herbs except tarragon and mint can be raised as seedlings, an option which is cheaper and offers a greater variety than buying them from another source. However, two words of caution were offered concerning the roots of homegrown seedlings. Avoid letting them become root-bound or losing a portion of the root during transplantation. Containers for the seedlings should be at least two inches tall with a hole in the bottom for drainage. Since the use of outside soil introduces the risk of bringing in disease, a homemade mix of one part vermiculite, one part pearlite and one part commercial potting soil is preferable. An alternative to containers for seedlings is pellets. The advantage is that transplantation is not necessary, but the disadvantage is the expense if many are used. The top of the refrigerator is a good place indoors for germination to take place. Seedlings should be started six to eight weeks be- fore time to plant outside. Seedlings generally flourish more under fluorescent lighting than in natural sunlight on a windowsill. needed to help. Areas will be assigned and trash bags provided.

Railroad Ave. Downtown Kings Mountain (704) 739-5351 September 19th - 22nd Thursday - Saturday 7:00 p.m. Sunday 2:00 p.m. You are invited to hear: Some home gardeners prefer to grow from seeds, most of which should be planted in the spring. The seeds should be covered with a layer of vermiculite twice the thickness of the seed it- self. They usually come up in two to three weeks. The advantage of seedlings over seeds is that the gardener gets a jump on the growing season, gaining five or six weeks. When they are planted outside, compost and pearlite should be added to the hole. Seedlings should be watered in immedi- ately and not allowed to dry out for several weeks, after which time a normal watering rou- tine can be established. Ellege thanked Turner and presented her with a handpainted clay herb pot. In the absence of President Sara Simpson Jeanne Ware presided. Grace Mitchell read the minutes and Hilda Leonard gave the treasurers’ report in the absence of Judy Whisnant. Annual club dues are being collected.
