The topic of his program was. ; “Camellias,” and he delighted members with the scope of his knowledge and love of plants. Before beginning the pro- gram, Scoggins made general, * comments. He cautioned - against using electric shears, which he said resulted in bush- es that resemble “green toad- stools.” He advised that hand clippers are preferable, allowing sunlight into the interior of the plant.. ro cnr a rr NT ‘General Rp : camellias included the follow- ing tips: Plant them in early spring, do not mulch heavily as the top roots need air and the mulch can result in the forma- tion of a second root system, .

Scoggins brought numerous cuttings as samples of different camellias, including the Tea Camellia from whose leaves Lipton Tea is made; the Professor Charles Sargent Camellia with a beautiful dou- ble bloom; and his favorite, the + Canjero, which has been in bloom since mid-September. The speaker also brought four full-sized plants for dis- play and discussion. The first was the Governor Mouton - Camellia which sports variegat- ed blooms. The second was the upright plant with huge flow- ers. The third was the Hardy Gardenia Azalea with double ~ white flowers.

A deli- cious dessert course with a Valentine theme was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Sam Collins, President, welcomed members and intro- duced Mrs. Paul McGinnis. She presented a very interesting program on “Around the Year with Flowering Bulbs.” She stated that bulbs play an important part in beautifying - gardens throughout the year. °° They herald the spring and con- tinue in a pageant of color all year. Bulbs are among the easi- est of plants to grow success- fully in all types of soils, thriv- ing well in town and country gardens. This is a guarantee of their lasting and i Hcrensingt popularity. Snowdrops bloom from January to early March. Crocus appear in February. They are prettiest when planted in grass or open woodland where they may remain undisturbed for many years. Daffodils appear in March and are the best of all. flowers. Tulips are the gayest of all spring flowers that bloom in April. There are many species of tulips and some late varieties bloom in May. The fragrant hy- acinths are among the most ad- mired spring bulbs. The Iris ‘come in many colors dont vari- eties and early species bloom in - May. They are hardy if given good drainage and sunshine. Lilies, especially Day Lilies, are the aristocrats of the flower garden which bloom profusely in June. They are among the most beautiful and ornamental of bulb plants. No flower presents a wider range of brilliant colors than the ~ gladiola which blooms in July and August. They are valuable for both garden display and cutting for flower arrangements in the home. The Colchium is an autumn crocus which blooms in September. It bears rose flow- ~ ‘ers. There are several varieties including forms with single and ‘double flowers. In October, the Tall Iris is in full bloom. The Thanksgiving Cactus presents an array of beautiful flowers. The Amaryllis is the most pop- . ular and most spectacular of all tender bulbs which bloom at Christmas. : * Timely tips were given by Mrs. C.L. Morris. It is time to cut Monkey Grass before new “growth begins. Start saving sturdy plastic boxes to use for . sowing seeds later. Appreciate your pansies. The friendship basket was won by Mrs. McGinnis. ~ Teens ranged. in aged f Herald/Times True Love Waits ‘Christian Freedom teens pledye to be abstinent until marriage By GARY STEWART - Editor of The Herald Nineteen teenagers from - Christian Freedom Baptist Church in Kings Mountain last week completed a five-week Bible study on True Love Waits and signed pledges committing to remain sexually abstinent un- til marriage.

But now we think it’s impor- tant. The teenagers are not get- ting it from school and not get- ting it from home, so the churches have to take a stand.:” His students agreed.
