Gentle readers,
This issue comes to you a little late, | fear. Alas, circumstances beyond anyone's control found me wearing the hat of typist/typesetter, as well as my customary hats of editor, designer and paste-up person. (The typist hat does not sit very well).
Many thanks to two talented readers who contributed beautiful original artwork to TRELLIS this month - Christina Kot, for the poppy pictured on the Cover, and Wanda Martin Hicks, for the bouquet on page 7.
Anne-Marie was very busy with the Plant Sales in May, and so Growing Concerns has a guest columnist for this issue. Norman McKinney has compiled a very informative article about Plants Which Attract (and repel) Bees (see page 16). Anne-Marie's regular column will be back in the July-August issue of TRELLIS. (Please note: in his manuscript, Mr. McKinney cautioned us against growing Cannabis plants. Although they are attractive to bees, the same cannot be said of law enforcement officers.)
Planting garlic near each rose bush is an old wives trick for keeping greenfly at bay. As an Old Wife, | can personally attest to its merit.
PRESIDENT S REPORT
byBrian lxle President, Civic Garden Centre
An Annual General Meeting at the Civic Garden Centre has, for me, an unmistakably festive air. Perhaps that is because, in the years that | have been coming to the Centre, the news has been mostly good. This year is no exception, thank goodness. We have just arranged a new ten-year lease for the Centre with Metropolitan Toronto; our financial position continues to be strong; the number and range of activities continues to mount; and the number of members and non-members attending our events continues to grow. This continuous growth is not to be regretted; it is one of the consequences, and one of the necessary conditions, for the transformation of the Centre from an organization with strictly local horizons, to one with a national and international focus in addition to our cozier local concerns. But the continuous growth is bringing new challenges for the Centre, and to those | shall return shortly.
The most significant decision for the Centre in 1986 was the appointment of our Executive Director, Sally Sullivan. The Executive Director is the linch-pin of the organization, responsible for the effectiveness of the professional staff in responding to the policy objectives established by the Board. A non-profit organization is not at all like a profit-seeking company. In the former, the objectives are, in principle, narrow and clear,
though the means for achieving those objectives may not be. In a non-profit organization, the objective of providing services to members, and the objective of providing opportunity for participation to volunteers, as well as depending upon those volunteers for so many hours of effort, often conflict with efficiency more narrowly defined. Very special skills are required to handle the complex situations that can arise in these circumstances; Sally has shown us that she possesses those skills.
There have been other changes on the staff. Dorothy Whiteman, who was Volunteer Co-ordinator, but many other things beside, has moved over to become Special Events Co-ordinator, where she is responsible for a wide range of activities, many of them financially important for the Centre. Carolyn Smith has taken over the role of Volunteer Co-ordinator, and we are expecting great things. Grace Tughan nominally retired after a long career at the Centre, and her knowledge and experience would be sorely missed if she wasn t to be found so often upstairs in the offices, now as a volunteer. We wish her great happiness in the years ahead. Aldona Satterthwaite became the Editor of TRELLIS. and the changes she has introduced have been much acclaimed. In the Library, Pamela MacKenzie and Esther Field preside over a growing circulation (up almost 8% in 1986), and a book collection, somewhat neglected for many years, which now contains over 5700 volumes. AnneMarie Van Nest has transformed the Garden Plants and Accessories area, has fostered the comfortingly flowery nature of the Centre, is busy with a host of events, and contributes her regular column to TRELLIS. Janie Brentnall brings us the good financial
news with precision and punctuality.
The Trellis Shop has also been transformed in recent years under the managership of Jackie Brisby, and is rapidly developing a reputation as an interesting place to shop for gifts, as well as becoming a major contributor to the Centre's income. An important part in that success has been played by Margaret Austin in the Bookshop; her knowledge of and enthusiasm for the gardening literature has endeared her to all who have a passion for gardening books. Alas, we shall shortly be losing Margaret, and we wish her, too, much happiness in her new life in Owen Sound.
Anne Dyke (and her new colleague, Mavis Griffin!) operate the very important space-rental office of the Centre. Anne s contributions to our balance sheet have been consistently impressive, but we must expect diminishing revenues from that source as the number of horticultural activities at the Centre increases. Finally, on the staff list, praise must go to our wonderful maintenance staff under the leadership of Walter Morassutti. The range and frequency of events at the Centre complicate Walter's life, but he and his staff respond with efficiency and good humour.
Two other sources of support for the Centre must be mentioned. Firstly, Metropolitan Toronto Parks and Recreation Department provides major support to the Centre, and must not go unthanked. Secondly, | know that everyone here will join me in thanking that splendid group of people without whom the Centre could not function at all - our Volunteers.
| include among the volunteers the Board of Directors of the Centre.
Some of the Board members are extremely active, and | extend special thanks to the Executive Committee who have been so supportive throughout the year. | cannot possibly mention all of their contributions, but | cannot omit reference to the astonishing success of Cornucopia under the chairpersonship of Camilla Dalglish, the most recent triumph of Sue Macaulay' s inspired Catch the Gardening Spirit , the leadership provided by Peter Hand in our lease negotiations, and the financial wizardry of Charles Coffey and Robert Saunders.
What of the upcoming year? A study is under way into the desirability of automating some of the Centre 's operations, which are extremely primitive in some areas, but we shall not act precipitately. We shall, | hope, be looking at the possibility of appointing an Education Officer, responsible for developing a varied but co-ordinated, and carefully evaluated, programme of courses, as well as taking on such activities as the Members Programme and Conference planning. The increasing demands upon the Centre's physical resources mean that we are urgently in need of both new and better used space, and the creative tension generated by growth means that we must streamline the activities of the Board, and require higher standards of commitment from its members.

THE FLOWERY - A NEW NAME FOR THE WINTER BOUQUET WORKSHOP
When is a winter bouquet not a winter bouquet? When it adds beauty and brings pleasure all the year 'round. With this thoughtin mind, the ever-industrious members of the Winter Bouquet Workshop have changed their name to The Flowery".
As well as the traditional dried flower arrangements they have long been known for, The Flowery has had a lot of success with their handsome silk flower arrangements this year. There is still a good selection of both available for sale in the Trellis Shop.
Prior to entering their summer hiatus period, members of The Flowery wish to thank everyone for their support, and to remind you that exciting new arrangements will be available for sale in September. Watch TRELLIS for further details.

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP
by Margaret Austin
A lovely new book is PLEASURES
OF THE GARDEN: Images of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by Mac Griswold (Abrams, New York, $39.95). Lavishly illustrated with works from the Museum s collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculpture, this work traces the history of gardens and looks at the development of the garden as an art form in its own right. The story of gardens is intertwined with architecture, literature, theatre, music, science, politics and social history. The text, vivid and often humorous, quotes from a wide range of sources to complement the brilliant images of the illustrations.
THE BOOK OF DRIED
FLOWERS
by Malcolm Hillier and Colin Hilton, (Simon & Schuster, $29.95), is one of the most practical and most beautiful books ever produced on this subject. It contains a complete guide to the techniques of drying and arranging flowers, and also gives advice on how to grow flowers in the garden for drying. There are exquisite photographs of all the flowers, grasses, leaves and seed heads that can be used in arrangements, as well as beautiful examples of the authors work, with step-by-step instructions for making the displays.
TRELLIS SHOP
by Jackie Brisby
Finally here - just in time for your planting chores - is the Ezykneel (as seen on T.V.). It's perfect for kneeling in the garden and a myriad of other chores where you need to kneel, and is equipped with strong arm supports to propel one up easily - only $29.95.

GROWING CONCERNS
PLANTS WHICH ATTRACT BEES
by Norman McKinney
Every gardener knows that plants are pollinated by the wind or by insectschiefly bees. So why write about plants attractive to bees? Because they need your help.
At the height of summer, a bee-hive may contain 10,000 workers (neuter females), about 500 drones, and one queen. A bee grows from egg to adult in 21 days;a worker, barring accident, disease or poisoning, has a life span of two to three months. A queen live two to three years, laying 3,000 to 5,000 eggs a day in summer. Drones have no purpose but to mate with the queen and the union, in flight, disembowels the successful suitor.
A worker may forage as far as three miles from its hive, taking about an hour to make up its load of nectar and/or pollen. The workers of one hive must travel a total of 68,300 km to gather enough nectar to make one kg of honey.
The extensive use of broad-spectrum (non-specific) insecticides since 1944 has killed off too many bees. This is a direct threat to the existence of many flowering plants. There are so few bees left in nature that most commercial growers are forced to rent hives from bee-keepers, to be sure that the crops set fruit. Even so, a bad winter may Kkill off so many hives that the apiarists do not have enough to go around. Thus, it has become necessary for serious gardeners to encourage bees by planting species the bees find attractive. The gardener benefits from more,
better, and more certain plant reproduction.
FACTORS WHICH ATTRACT BEES:
1. Blossom Colour. The favourite colours are blue, yellow or purple.
2. Blossom markings, including:
a. Streaks (eg., the lower petals of Viola odorata (sweet violet).
b. Yellow centres (eg., Myosotis scorpioides, true forget-me-not.
c. Shades of ultraviolet light invisible to human eyes (eg., Bryonia dioica (white bryony), or Papaver (poppy) species.
GENERA AND SPECIES USUALLY ATTRACTIVE TO BEES:
1. Vegetable and field crops: brassica oloracea var. acephala (Kale); Cannabis sativa or C. indica (Hemp; Medicago sativa (Alfalfa); Zea mays rugosa (Maize)
