1985 IN REVIEW
We can look back at 1985 with a sense of pride in having fulfilled many of our most basic aims. We are reaching out to more and more members, the revenues to the end of November show a gain of 15% over last year at the same time, and that is without the credit of any membership fees gained through registrants to the November conference.
We were able to welcome on board yet another horticultural specialty group since, v S after a most successful summer ALY sale, the Iris Society has YA/ \\/_/{4"/"1//' ,} booked both next year s /ll ,';\C E /D show and sale with Civic Garden Centre.
Our own spring plant sale was bigger than ever before.
In mid summer, we sponsored a brand new event in the form of our Sweet Pea Show.
This fall, we have begun to initiate outreach displays at libraries and shopping centres throughout the Metro area, under the leadership of Rae Fowler from our Promotion and Membership committee. If you could help with the set up or manning of such exhibits, your participation would be encouraged. Please contact
REVIEW- cont.
Dorothy Whiteman, our volunteer co-ordinator to indicate your interest. At some locations,, there will be a need for members who could give short mini-talks on basic gardening or do demonstrations of simple flower design work.
During 1985, we were able to make some improvements to the auditorium, especially the kitchen area, thanks to a matching donation from the Milne House Garden Club.
Outstanding outreach displays were prepared for the Garden Festival in Feb., The Garden Club of Toronto show in April, the international conventions hosted by the York & Can. Rose Society and by the Toronto Gesneriad Society, both in June. In August we once again mounted an exhibit for the CNE.
This fall our concerted efforts were toward Cornucopia and our first attempt at a major 2-day conference.
Both events were smashing successes and my personal thanks go out to the many volunteers who give hundreds of hours to make such a busy year possible. I must point out however that the cohesive, dedicated work of our small full time staff supplemented by our part time staff have made many of the year s events possible.
I wish to recognize the ongoing co-operation of Metro Parks. This year, they upgraded the building s washroom capacity, added further signage in the park, and added several more light standards at the Lawrence Avenue entrances., as well as providing the major building maintenance and of course the beautiful park setting.
On a personal note, 1985 brought on several persistant bouts of colds and flu. A requested leave of absence was determined to be impractical due to the fragile nature of our limited full time staff. In order to take the time my health demands, I have tendered my resignation as Exec. Director.

THE RBG NEW AND DIFFERENT
HORT HAPPENINGS
by Anne Marie Van Nest
Now that most people are starting to consider gardening in a warmer environment, either to the south or indoors we at the Civic Garden Centre are thinking about spring. This is one of the best solutions to brighten up the dull dreary winter months.
In preparation for spring the horticultural information centre now has a soil testing laboratory and we are almost operational. We do not suggest that you run outside and chisel away at your frozen ground, but we are willing to test your houseplant soil for pH and electric conductivity which will give a reading of the concentration of salts that have built up in your soil from watering and fertilizing.
Forms are available here at The Civic Garden Centre for you to fill out with your sample and directions on how to
take a representative sample. Only a very small amount is needed for a soil test but it must be typical of the soil of the group of plants that you wish to be tested. Forms and direction sheets can be picked up at the horticultural information area beside the library but we ask that soil samples not be dropped off until after December 15th,
Another new feature here at the Centre is the gradual initiation of a seed exchange among our members. We hope to provide a selection for the spring of 1986 but we can not accomplish this without the help of you the members. We ask you to keep us in mind when you are cleaning out your gardening supplies this winter and come across some left over seed that you could not use last year or seed that you have collected from your prized impatiens this fall and would like to share with other members. Your seed will be stored and registered on the seed exchange board for other members to try. cont. pg. 11 As classes are limited - Bookings are made as received with fee and are subject to cancellation if not sufficient registration by deadline.

Now lets jump back to winter and consider Windowsill Nightshades an article in the Harrowsmith of Oct./Nov. This article is for all home gardeners that detest the sight of hard light pink tomatoes from the supermarket in January. A south or southwest window or a few open spaces in your light garden are all that is required to have vegetables year round. Other members of the Solanaceae family that can also be grown are the
Jerusalem Cherry, Solanum pseudocapsicum, Christmas pepper Capsicum frutescens, Pixie and Tiny Tim tomatoes and many many more. The article also gives a very good selection of sources for the windowsill nightshades. Winter is also for gardening so lets get growing. This copy of Harrowsmith is available in the library and well worth reading not just for the solanaceae but for all indoor plant growing.

TRELLIS SHOP
by Jackie Brisby
As we progress into a new year it gives me great pleasure to tell all of our members that we have had a most successful 1985 and to thank all of you for your continuing support and enthusiasm which has been the inspiration to make this possible.
Perfection is not always possible, particularly with a small staff and a small budget, but we are trying to meet your needs and live up to your expectations in horticultural areas. Because of lack of space we cannot keep every floral item or horticultural book in stock but we will order them for our members. This applies to any book in print.
Assisting me in the shop is a hard working group of volunteers who one day or more a week give their time for unpacking, packaging, dusting, coding, pricing and display. Without them we would not survive and we are extremely grateful for their help.
Many of the gift items found in the shop are the result of many weeks of walking through many gift shows by another small group of volunteers who search out the new and interesting for those of you who drop in periodically to see what s new and we thank them, also, for their contribution to the shop s success.
We invite all our members and their friends to visit our shop. We will continue to try to fill your needs and we wish everyone of our readers a wonderful year in 1986.
Book Review
A Giant among the Dwarfs; The Mystery of Sargent s Weeping Hemlock by Peter Del Tredici (Theophrastus Press, 1983: $20.00)
St George and the Pygmies: The Story of Tsuga Canadensis Minuta by Peter Del Tredici (Theophrastus Press, 1984: $7.50)
Both of these small books ( A Giant has 109 pages, St. George only 48) would make splendid stocking-stuffers. Peter Del Tredici was one of the speakers at the recent Great Gardening Conference, where he gave an outstanding talk on Conifers, and these books reflect that enthusiasm. Both are amusing examples of a specialised genre, that of horticultural detection.
The books are similar in methodology and construction, so I shall consider only the earlier one. It traces the history of Sargent s weeping hemlock, beginning with rumours of its discovery on a New York mountainside in 1865. There are then many false leads and irrelevant clues, but the true discoverer is eventually disentangled from a dramatis personae that includes some of the most distinguished names in American horticulture, including that of Charles Sargent, the first Director of the Arnold Arboretum.

GARDENING NOTEBOOK
by Ruta Lovett
DECEMBER/JANUARY
With the ground covered with snow, gardeners will be spending most of their time indoors for the next few months, providing an opportunity to catch up on a variety of chores.
INDOORS
Take the time to clean, repair and paint trellises and window boxes brought in earlier in the autumn, tidy up the potting shed and wash and store pots and potting materials.
Don t forget to check, from time to time, your stored dahlias, gladioli and begonias for signs of drying out or rot.
Indoor plants should be watered with care beware of overwatering during the winter months when plants are resting. They should not be left with their roots soaking in a saucer full of water either, or root rot will set in. Window ledge geraniums require a southern exposure if they are to continue blooming through the winter. Your plants will benefit from a water spray once a day to help them survive the dry atmosphere of the heated home. However, a humidifier is the easiest way to battle the dry air.
If you haven t already done so, send away for the new year s bulb and seed catalogues and plan to order early any new introductions you may be interested in. Do try to contain yourself however annual seeds sown too early will become weak and leggy!
With the arrival of the Christmas season it s time to think about a Christmas tree. You may opt for an artificial one, although personally I think nothing can beat a live tree! If you re considering a live one, bear in mind that White and Scotch pine will withstand the livingroom climate much better than spruce. Firs are a
good choice as well however they are known to be much more expensive. Whatever type of tree you choose its life will be extended if you set it in a bucket of water or wet sand to keep it moist.
The festive season is also a time for giving gift plants including the ever popular poinsettia, kalanchoe and azalea. Be sure to read and follow the instructions that come with the plants carefully to help their survival.
OUTDOORS
Try to use a minimum of rock salt on the sidewalk and driveway as the runoff will carry it onto the lawn and plants and potentially cause a great deal of harm. Maple trees are partic: ularly sensitive to this salt.
Heavy snowfall should be gently shaken off branches which can break easily.
Best wishes for the new year!

THE GREAT GARDENING CONFERENCE
by Androsace
By consensus, by effort, and doubtless by good fortune, The Civie Garden Centre was privileged to play host, on the weekend of November 15 17i 7o) what many participants subsequently described as the most spectacular and successful gardening conference they could remember. The guest speakers were themselves delighted to be part of such an all-star cast, and they eager- ly responded to the implied challenge.
The Friday evening dinner at the Bayview Country Club brought some usual opening-night gremlins, which the low-key Henry Mitchell dealt with uncomplainingly. But from the moment on Saturday morning that John Brookes started his 75 - minute virtuoso performance on Design, in which he raced us high-spiritedly through gardens from the Moors to Post-Modernism, we sensed we were in for a treat.
And what a treat! Mr. Brookes expansive exuberance, his English perspective, were followed by a quietly crafted gem of a talk by Peter Del Tredici which won him many hearts, and whose contrast with his wide-ranging predecessor added lustre to both talks. Peter also won the Joke of the Conference Award.
David Leach then took us on an express expose of the problems and triumphs of the rhododendron hybrid- izer. I found his elliptical descriptions of the hybridizing process very tantal- izing, and his enthusiasm for rhodos so infectious that, one day perhaps, I shall start on that Peat Bed. And David s talk also contrasted nicely with Allen Paterson s beautifully modulated, informative and humorous performance. It is difficult to imagine that there is any speaker on the horticultural circuit who provides such consistently fine performances.
At the end of the first day, the organ- izers were jubilant but concerned. The most frequent comment on Saturday evening at the Toronto Cricket Club, where John Brookes merrily lambasted us for our wilful gardening mediocrity, was: What could Sunday bring to match Saturday s treasures?
The answers were quick to come. Trevor Cole drew on his knowledge of what was possible in Ottawa to shame us kindly, of course for our unadventurousness, and then Brian Mathew followed with a talk of great brilliance and elegance which may well have been a favourite among the plantspeople.
Meanwhile, Frederick Case, modestly asking What am I doing here among all these great names? was preparing

to launch the Sunday afternoon proceedings with a talk of such organization and enthusiasm, and informed with such knowledge, that Rosemary Verey, the final speaker, laughingly protested that it was quite unfair to send her on to give her talk after such a performance.
By the time Mrs. Verey began,a happy, weariness had, I suspect, begun to steal over both speaker and audience. But many in the Hall had come for this moment, to see and (did I imagine this?) to be blessed. The atmosphere was so emotional that I would not have been surprised to hear some sacred music and to see young maidens strewing bouquets at Mrs. Verey s feet: organizers take note. We had come to worship, and we were not disappointed.
DEAR VOLUNTEER,
I think December must be my favourite month. The anticipation of Christmas always makes me feel like a little girl. Even though my-own children know that Santa Claus doesn t really come down the chimney or through the door but lives with them all year, I love the magic > that Christmas brings.
Of course I'm luckier than most because all year Isee the magic that you bring and although I ve been seeing it for nearly three years it has never dulled.
I'm looking forward to 1986. To seeing more of your special magic .
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and that the New Year brings health, happiness and peace.
See you next year.
Dorothy.
