This means, of course, checking the weather report and allowing. for stops along the road. Unexpected traffic conditions can of course hold you up. Telephoning for a reservation can also be helpful. ‘ If you don't make reseryations you may find yourself in a strange town trying to locate a park in the dark. You may find many.of the niger parks fill up early leaving you out searching until the wee small hours. Driving your camper, motorhome or. pulling your travel trailer can be fun, Always try to stay with the flow of the traffic. Don't go out on the road in heavy traffic and expect to poke along and look around. By doing this you are ereating a traffic hazard. This seems to be the worst habit with people and their recreation vehicles. I don't expect you lo drive beyond what your vehicle can do safely, but to use common sense on the road. If the hills and corners are a nuch far yr and you find when checking your U traffic arting to pile up behind you, it is a id let them ge by.

Having 42 years with.the company, all of them invglyed with greenhouses and plants,” we can only hope to havp‘a little of his technique and! €xpertise rub off. Each year, (we came up with,more than 10), he instructs a spring gardening course, offered:by the school board and sponsored: by Cominco. This four-session course has proven to be so popular that one couple said, “we've been trying 1€ years to take this course, and finally,we made it!” : Lwould suggest that if you planito take this course next © year, ‘you circle the pre-regis- tration date in red~ ‘At the nursery, I hada tour.of the greenhouses, view” ed ‘the magnificent array of flowers'(even carnations) and had the opportunity to see the converted coal bin, now home for ‘African violets, by going down an eerie set of stairs into a paradise, :The nursery supplies cut flowers throughout the year for retirements, offices and special occasions, We.discussed ‘spring gar- dening’ covering the important points: pruning—why do we prune and when; soils—what. makes up a good mixture and what about fertilizers; seeding and transplanting—how we go about this and in what way. Pruning is done for many reasons, to correct structural (365-3644! rontSt., Castlegar Tips from Cominco's Head Nurseryman growth, strengthen branches and remove diseased parts, but overpruning can produce super- fluous shoots, commonly called “suckers.” : Loyd explained that he learned to prune at Stony Creek apple orchard many . years ago, and his gardening students are allowed to practice their pruning skills there, I found the ‘soil sampling’ particularly interesting—an element of suspense while waiting for the right color to appear in the liquid in the test tube—anything from amber to the palest of yellow. This deter- mines how much lime is needed. But, there is more to soils than addition of lime, for 2 geod mixture is made up of several parts (peat, moss, sterilized, compost, coarse sand, teralite, plus the correct fertilizer). Delicate care is used in transplanting—Frank Maniago, ‘assistant at thé nursery, han- dles each tiny plant with infinite care, at the same time transplanting a vast number in a very short time. 7 At the greenhouses, watching the easy efficiency of Loyd and his partner, 1 noticed nothing going to waste. Cut- tings were wheeled off to some mysterious place to “make soil"; containers (to be used as light flexible easy-to-pour scoops) were made from cut-off bleach bottles; flats, when not in.use, were clean and neatly stacked. Direct seeding for Lobelia and Alyssum saves transplant- ing and planting fine seed with the use of a seeder eliminates waste. Loyd had many ideas for “eye appealing". garden dis- plays, one being sweet peas planted in a column (four up- tight stakes, wrapped mummy fashion in chicken wire).
