Cost Sharing Aid on Forestry Projects Forester William C. Vernam of the Virginia Division of Forestry says, “Now is the time to sign up for cost sharing assistance under the Rappahannock County Agriculture Conservation Program for forestry projects to be carried out during 1969.” Federal cost sharing assistance is available through the Rappahannock County Agriculture Conservation Program for forestry practices carried out under ASC Practice A-7 “Planting Forestry Trees” and Practice B-10 “Improving a Stand of Forest Trees”. Practice A-7 aids in reforesting cutover and abandoned land by cost sharing on tree planting and fencing to protect tree plantations from livestock grazing. Practice B-10 aids in improving a stand of trees to better the species composition and improve the rate of growth or to release planted seedlings from competing vegetation so that they may develop rapidly into a desirable stand for a future timber crop. Rappahannock County landowners interested in cost sharing assistance for forestry work should contact Mr. James W. Coates at the ASC Office in Washington. Additional information concerning the program is available and landowners can sign up for practices for the 1969 program year. PE Customers Up Use of Electricity Residential customers of The Potomac Edison Company, for the second consecutive year, increased their use of electricity in the home at a record-breaking pace. Figures released by the utility company trnow that in 1968, the average residential customer increased the use of electricity by 552 kilowatt houls over the previous year. This is the largest year-to-year gain in the history of the company, according to i officials. The previous high was ; 467 kilowatt hours, set in 1967. ij The gain for 1968 brings the annual average use per customer to 6,797 kilowatt hours, which is I well above the national average. While the use of electricity went up, Potomac Edison reported another decline in the cost. The average cost per residential kilowatt hour last year was 2.15 cents, compared with 2.18 cents in 1967. By operating districts, following is the average kilowatt hour use per residential customer in 1968: Frederick — 8,334; Hagerstown 7,664; Waynesboro — 7,114; Winchester — 6,885; Martinsburg — 6,711; Luray — 6,649; Cumberland - 5,647; Romney — 5,579; and Frostburg — 5,398.

Decoupage Subject For Arts & Crafts The Arts and Crafts Group will meet Tuesday, February 11 at Cab-Inn in Sperryville, beginning at 10 a.m. Anyone who is interested in Decoupage is invited to come and join in this craft which will be attempted for the first time by members. Decoupage is an old craft used for decorating objects and furniture in the 18th century, particularly in France and Italy. Briefly it is the art of decorating with paper cut-outs pasted on smooth surfaces and then varnished and rubbed for 20 to 40 coats, to give the surfaces a hard gloss similar to lacquer and the design takes on a third dimensional appearance. Bring a sandwich to the meeting and plan to stay until mid-afternoon. Materials needed for the first day are: 1. Object to be decorated (this can be a piece of wood or a plaque, wooden box, metal box or tray, small table, frame, or other object to which varnish and glue will stick). l 2. Flat paint or stain for the object before the cut-out is applied. 3. Sandpaper - from fine to super fine (000). 4. Glue 5. Paper design - this can be magazine, greeting card, wallpaper or seed catalog pictures, or prints of all kinds. 6. A 1 inch varnish brush (you may want to wait until after the first meeting to get varnish as some advice about the kind may be valuable). 7. Cuticle ^'issors. 8. A ruler or tape measure. 9. Cover up apron and wiper rags. It is the plan of the Arts and Crafts group to work on this project mostly at home, using the other monthly meetings only to share special problems and experiences as the objects are being finished at home. For additional information about Decoupage call Mrs. Rose Bowey at Amissville or borrow a booklet from Mrs. Ruth Pillar, Sperryville. | Two Single-Vehicle Crashes Reported Two single car crashes hav« been reported by Trooper J.

'['his information will enable farmers to decide whether they want to take part in the programs and to plan the extent of their participation. Program benefits include price-support loans and payments and diversion payments. If a producer believes that a commodity yield, the wheat allotment, a feed grain base, rate, or the conserving base shown on the notice for his farm is incorrect, he may ask the county committee to reconsider the matter. Requests for reconsideration should be made m writing and mailed or delivered to the county committee within lf> days from* the mailing date shown on the notice.

Editor Letter to Editor Editor Rappahannock News It seems that appraisals and ssessments are and have been roblems for communities, towns nd cities all around the nation. I ave done a bit of reading on the abject during the last few weeks nd I would like to pass on some f the information I have athered. X Tire American Home in 1961 rinted an article titled “How to 'ight Unfair Real Estate issessments.” One might think hat this Article is out of date since we are living in the year of 1969, but some of the information may or may not be r<ertinent to our situation. I quote he following excerpts: “Assessing real estate has •ecome one of the biggest aggling acts of the century. Everyday, property owners all iver the country are receiving Jgher tax bills, made even higher, n many cases, by inefficiency, •olitics, friendship, or just plain lishonesty. “Assessors themselves will tell 'ou of hundreds of cases in which ky-high assessments are meted >ut to some owners, while others rnjoy low assessments. If this condition exists in your area, you don’t have to put up with it. “The way assessments are determined in your community can make or break your tax bill. In the old days, local politicians joked about ‘horseback appraisals’.Today, this has given way in many places to what some assessors call ‘windshield appraisals’. They value your property without leaving their cars. “On top of this, many assessors have no training, are paid as little as $50 per year, and are anxious to finish the job. “There are, of course, many fine, scrupulously fair assessors. But even if the assessors in your town are honest and try to do a good job, they can cost you a great deal of money over the years if they aren’t trained. “Even if the assessors in your community are reputable, you may still feel your assessment is unfair. “When the assessor raises the valuation on your home, he is supposed to notify you by mail. If you think it is too high, your first recourse is the assessor himself. Go see him, state your reasons, and ask him to come and look at your home again. Back up your visit with a letter. “He may comply unless his books are already closed. If that’s the case, you should wait until the ‘grand list’ or ‘assessment roll’ is ready. This is a public list and you’re entitled to see it and compare your assessment against those of your neighbors. Some newspapers publish it; some towns print and distribute it.” Madam Editor, what would be the chances of having all assessments published in the Rappahannock News? I know it would be an enormous job which could take a long time, but perhaps one page per week (It would make good reading) over a period of time would take care of the situation. Don’t say “yea” or “nay” right now - but do give it some consideration.

Roy plans to go to a technical school after graduation. “What do adults misunderstand about teenagers ■he mo6t,” Roy answered by saying ‘‘That teenagers are luman.” Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics One of the most common complaints that is often heard by i home economist is how to inclog a steam iron. This clogging s often caused by the use of tap vater in the iron due to the fact hat tap water contains minerals md chemicals. To prevent this, iistilled water can be used in the ron. Many manufactuers ecommend this and it is mportant to follow their nstructions when they do. Distilled water has had most of the chemicals and minerals removed and can be bought at most drug stores. Once the clogging has occurred, it is fairly easy for a homemaker to remove. A water softener will do the job. Dissolve water softener crystals in the amount of water that your iron will hold. Keep adding the water softener until the water softening crystals no longer dissolve. Pour the mixture into the iron and let sit for 24 hours. Remove from iron and allow to steam for a few minutes. The process may need to be repeated 2 or 3 times to be effective. For further care of your iron, it is important to remember that when ironing is completed, always turn the control dial to OFF before removing the plug from the convenient outlet. Always empty any water itfiiiaiuiug in me nun. To remove starch from the sole plate, rub it with a paste of baking soda and water. It is a good idea to pass the iron, while warm, over a piece of waxed paper. Wipe off excess wax with a cloth and polish the sole plate. After iron has cooled, store it upright on its heel rest.

One Incentive for the establishment of the planning units will be the availability of State funds. The General Assembly stipulated that planning districts meeting the criteria of the Division of State Planning and Community Affairs are eligible for State grants of up to $5,000 for every 25,000 population. The minimum allocation for a qualifying district will be $10,000. According to Temple, the planning district concept is an area in which Virginia is taking a lead. Only a few other states are approaching their metropolitan and other planning problems in a similar manner. A number of others considering such a plan are looking to Virginia for technical assistance, he said. The Virginia Area Development Act calling for the establishment of the planning districts envisions more orderly loeal, State and Federal planning through regional cooperative efforts. The regional approach is expected to facilitate solutions to such problems as water and air pollution, water supply, sewage disposal and transportation. Mental health programs, vocational education programs, hospitals, libraries, airports and park and recreational facilities are other areas with which the planning districts may be concerned. ■Five of the proposed planning districts were built around metropolitan areas with regional planning units already in operation. These include the Northern Virginia District, Number 8, with a total population of 889,300, and including the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William, the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church, and the towns of Herndon, Leesburg, Manassas, Manassas Park and Vienna. Rappahannock County if located in District 9 with Fauquier and Culpeper counties and the towns of Culpeper and Warrenton which encompasses a population of 50,000. Don’t Overload Waring The variety of electrical appliances fn the average household today makes it imperative that one should be extra careful not to overload wiring at home. Overloading wiring can cause a fire that could be disastrous to your family, the American Insurance Association warns. Improper use of electricity is among the prime causes of fires - sparking one out of every five that break out annually in the United States, according to the Association. Make certain that the electrical circuits in your home are adequate for your appliances. If in doubt, have the wiring checked by a qualified electrician, the Association advises.

This remarkable feat is indicative of His power to provide. You need not depart from Him for He can provide for you. He only asks that you open your mind to His Word and your heart to His presence. Jesus can give comfort to the troubled, strength to the weak, direction to the confused, joy to the lonely, and salvation to the lost. If you qualify, apply by asking in faith. Rev.

Develop lSew Varietyj Canning Peaches BLACKSBURG-Horticulturists at Virginia Tech are releasing two new varieties of clingstone peaches for canning. They have been named Piedmontgold and Mountaingold and were developed by Dr. George D. Oberle and C. B. Wood of the Research Division. A revival of interest in commercial canning of peaches in the southeastern U.S. and the need for varieties with superior canning characteristics prompted the release of these two varieties, said Oberle. Tiie new peaches originated in 1951 in crosses made by Dr. L. F. Hough of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. Hie parentage includes J. H. Hale and Goldfinch ancestry. Fruits of the new selections are In Memoriam In sad but loving remembrance of my dear son, Joseph- H. Aylor, who departed this life three years ago, February 13, 1966. Three years ago, today, the Lord took you away, you suffered hours, yes, hours of pain but in vain. Three years have passed, one heart is still sore. As time goes by I miss you more, your memory is as fresh today as in the hour you were taken away. Dear Joe, how I miss you. None but God will ever know. If tears and sighs would bring you back, you would have been here long ago. Some may think I am not lonely, when at times they see me smile. Little do they know the heartaches that I suffer all the while. And when the evening shades are falling, and I sit all alone, To my heart comes the longing, dear Joe, if you could come home.

At1 Blacksburg, Mountaingold has had an average ripening date of August 11, while that ofi Piedmontgold has been August; 16, or about 14 and 9 days,' respectively, before Elberta. Buds of Piedmontgold and; Mountaingold are available from the Virginia Tech Department of j Horticulture and from the Department of Horticulture and! Forestry at the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station, Athens, Ga. It is assumed that trees may be available from commercial nurseries only under contract, since the fruit would probably be used for commercial processing only, said Oberle.

Jane Wyatt Leads March of Dimes As Mothers Protest Birth Defects Toll By JANE WYATT National Chairman. Mar fti of Dimes Mothers' March on Birth Defects During the years that I have served as National Chairman of the Mothers’ March on birth defects, I have visited many of the more than 100 March of Dimes birth defects centers throughout the nation. In this time. I have seen countless children helped by skilled medical professionals using the most modern techniques of care. It is always touching—and sometimes even awesome—to see the courage with which these small victims of birth defects face the consequences of the physical or mental damage they suffer Ultimately, however, one becomes angry about the sad, wasteful erosion of young life. Why, one asks over and over, must these tragedies happen'1 Why are a quarter of a million newborn babies denied the gift of normal health every year in the United States'1 Anger is not enough to meet this challenge. It must spiral into an active protest that will become a nationwide force in the fight to prevent birth defects. We owe it to unborn generations to support those who are leading this figh^ Since 1958, following the successful conquest of epidemic polio, the March of Dimes has devoted itself to the long-neglected field of birth defects. Looking back on that decision now, I realize that in a sense this move was a protest against the shameful apathy and inaction that enveloped the subject. Public ignorance was appalling, the result of a centuries-old attitude that birth defects were tragic inevitabilities, and there really wasn’t much you could do to prevent these cruel acts of nature. Yet within the past decade tremendous changes have oc ON THE MARCH. Ready, set and going strong are these members of the March of Dimes Mothers' March. They are typical of women protesting against birth defects throughout the country. curred because of scientific gains in this field. Conditions once regarded as hopeless now are being treated so effectively by doctors and allied medical personnel that children all over the country are able to lead useful, productive lives. In some heartening instances, there have been cures. Most important, perhaps, is the growing realization that prevention of birth defects is a possibility. Rh disease in the newborn caused by blood incompatibility between the developing baby and the mother, threatened some 40,000 infants annually. Today, a vaccine administered to an Rh negative woman after the birth of each Rh positive baby will protect future children from the ravages of this condition. The German measles (rubella) vaccine is expected to be licensed this year Its significance can be seen clearly in the wake of a German measles epidemic a few years ago that caused tens of thousands of birth defects in this nation alone. Thus it is in a new atmosphere of hope that mothers in cities, towns and rural areas will again march this January to raise more funds to support the treatment and research carried on through the March of Dimes. From its inception, the March of Dimes fight against birth defects was a protest against shocking, lifelong damage to little children. Now. as we see significant advances in birth defects prevention, mothers have a far stronger reason to march in protest The March of Dimes is providing help, but the problem is enormous and needs the wholehearted backing of an aroused public. Never before has there been better reason to enlist support for scientists who are working toward the day when there will be fewer babies born with twisted bodies and crippled minds.

Once I went to a theatre to see an old movie that I had missed as a first run. In the lobby they sold popcorn in cardboard containers, they also sold roasted peanuts. The litter on the floor was at least ankle deep. Well, that was a theatre where they ran second run pictures. As I travel along the highways I see signs that say: FINE FOR LITTERING. Well, it seems that travelers take the signs “litter ally”, the roads are fine for littering. These situations are bad, but what about the church litterbug. Have you ever been in a church after the worshipers had gone and seen all the bulletins left on the pews or scattered on the floor, hymnals left on the pew instead of being returned to its proper receptacle? A long time ago Christ drove some people out of the Temple because of the improper use of it. I wonder what He would do if He went into some of our churches today.

Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of Social Security in Winchester, Va., announced today that persons who receive social security benefits may now change addresses on their checks through local social security offices. In the past, they were asked to report directly to one of [ the six records centers in the I country. They were asked to send | a signed statement or to call in | person at the local office.

It is now possible to simply telephone the nearest office to report these changes. Mrs. Daly pointed out that prompt reporting of an event which affects the payment of a check is necessary in order to be sure that it arrives on time. Other events which can affect the receipt of monthly checks include employment, marriage, divorce, and death. Any of these events may be reported by telephone, letter, or in person to the office at 20 S. Cameron St., telephone 667-1511. This change is made possible oy the new ability of social security offices to transmit information over high speed Falls Rate Second As Cause of Deaths Of all accidental fatalities in Virginia in 1967, falls were second only to traffic accidents as a cause of death. Tabulations in the Statistical Annual Report of the Virginia State Department of Health show that of the 2,542 fatal accidents, 1,185 or 46.6 percent were traffic fatalities. Falls accounted for 488 or 19.2 percent of total accidental deaths. Accidental deaths by firearms numbered only 55 or 2.2 percent of the total. Accidents of all types kill more than 100,000 persons in the United States annually. Only three conditions, namely heart disease, cancer and stroke exceed accidents as the cause of death. These three conditions primarily affect older people but accidents dramatically affect the young and middle age groups. In fact, between the ages of one and thirty-four, accidents are the leading cause of death. me Virginia report iurtner reveals that falls were the major! cause of death in the home in | 1967. Deaths due to accidents in! the home totaled 629. Of that number, 25 were caused by falls.! It is difficult to designate one! room in a house over another inj regard to frequency and severity of injuries as a result of falls. Falls! are caused by many things. I Scatter or loose rugs on a slippery! surface are very dangerous. Too much furniture, especially in the! middle of the floor, earn constitute a hazard. Moisture onthe floor can suddenly snap your stride. A small piece of soap on the bathroom floor is an invitation to fall. Reaching too high or too far can cause one to lose his balance. Standing on a chair or open drawer to obtain a desired object is very dangerous. Leaving objects such as books, clothing or packages on a stairway may cause a person to trip. Carpets on steps not firmly attached to the step can cause a person to tumble. Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State j Health Commissioner, states,! “Aside from fatalities, consider j the economic aspect of injuries occurring as a result of accidents.” Seventeen million children, or one child in every three, are accidentally injured each year. This figure constitutes those who receive medical treatment or restricted activities such as absence from school for a minimum of one-half day. More hospital bed days are used by accident victims than from any other cause. Injured patients occupy as many hospital bed days as the combined heart and cancer patients. The elimination of all communications equipment. She said that occasionally a check is delayed without apparent reason. Most such checks arrive by the 10th of the month without any action on the part of the beneficiary. If the check does not arrive by the 10th of the month in which it is due, it should be reported immediately to the nearest office. That office will talfe action to insure prompt mailing of the amount due. If the chepk is received and later lost or stolen the matter should be reported without delay to the social security office. The report should include all information regarding the circumstances of its loss or theft. This will enable the Treasury Department to stop payment on the check and to speed the issuance of another check. It will also help to apprehend the guilty parties in the case of a stolen check. Mrs. Daly reminded beneficiaries that they should include their claim numbers with all correspondence about social security benefits.

Underneath is a new watermelon from Japan noted especially for its heavy yields. To quench that summer thirst of innumerable gardeners, two ness varieties of melon make their debut in 1968 One is an early-bearing hybrid — Burpee Crenshaw —which takes 90 days from seed planting to reach edibility The oval fruits, pointed at the stem end. weigh up to 14 pounds each and utivc mm iiiiumuihti uciiliuu> Crenshaw flavor. Their skins are dark green, entirely without netting, and they turn yellowish green when ripe enough to pick and eat. The flesh is thick and salmonpink in color. The vines on which these melons are produced are healthy and vigorous. And the length of season required to grow them to fruiting means that these melons can be grown almost anywhere. The second new melon is a hybrid watermelon from 'Japan It has light green skin, veined with darker green and the bright red flesh is very firm. Individual fruits average 18 pounds in weight and, as its name, Top Yield, implies, they are produced in abundance. Top Yield also matures in 90 days and is resistant to anthracnose, a disease affecting melons Hither of these two new com ers will provide a welcome taste-treat this summer for members of your family. accidental injuries is something to be desired but, of course, can never be achieved. However, falls can be prevented if we concentrate on the causes of falls, develop safety attitudes and habits, and put them into practice. Here are a few helpful hints: 1. Keep a stairway well lighted with the light shining on the top and bottom steps. 2. Locate the light switch so that one does not have to lean over the steps to operate it. 3. Install a bannister or handrail on a side of the stairway and hold on to it while walking. 4. Keep the stairway clear of objects such as books, games, packages, et cetera. 5. When one must stand on tiptoes to reach an object, use a stepladder or step stool. 6. Keep the floor of the bathroom dry. The bottom of the bathtub or shower should be slip proof by use of adhesive non-skidding material or a rubber mat. 7. Always maintain a dear passageway from the bedroom to the bathroom with a light accessible. 8. Do not carry articles that may block vision. Plan Now to Reserve State Park Cabins Persons wanting to reserve state ! park cabins this summer need to j make plans now, according to the Virginia Division of Parks. February 26 is the starting date for applications, and Virginia residents have first choices until March 11 when out-of-state applications will be processed, announced Ben H. Bolen, state parks commissioner. “In fairness to all our citizens,” Bolen said, “we will have to return any applications we receive before February 26.” Applications received through March 1 will be handled equally. ■ence This it the standard type field fence, with flexible "hinge joints" that stretch well and adjust easily to contours.

Reservations can be -made only on official application-forms, the commissioner pointed’out. They are available from state park superintendents or the Division of Parks, 501 Southern States Building, 7 th and Main Streets, Richmond, Virginia 23219. This year’s vacation cabin season runs from May 12 through September 29. Reservations are limited to one week but occupancy may be extended another week if cabins are available, Bolen said. Rentals begin and end on Mondays. Located in eight state parks, the 150 cabins have showers and are equipped for cooking. They accommodate from two to six persons, with rates scaled to cabin sizes and number of occupants. Children under 10 are free if the bed and bedding are provided by the renter, the commissioner said, but they are charged as adults when cots and bed linens are supplied by the park. State parks with cabins are Claytor Lake in Pulaski County, Douthat in Bath County, Fairy Stone in Patrick Cqunty, Hungry Mother in Smyth County, Prince Edward in Prince Edward County, Seashore in the City of Virginia Beach, Staunton River in Halifax County, and Westmoreland in Westmoreland County. Concessions in Virginia’s developed state parks and recreational areas will be operated from Memorial Day, May 30, through Labor Day, September 1. They include swimming beaches. » boat rentals, and refreshment stores. Cabin occupants have free swimming privileges while the beaches, as well as the pool at Staunton River State Park, are open. Also, restaurants are operated by concessionaires in five of the parks that have cabins. Riding horses and bridle trails are in four cabin-equipped parks, plus Pocahontas State Park near Richmond which has no vacation cabins. State parks and recreational areas are open year-round for camping, picnicking, fishing, hiking, and nature observation, in addition to the seasonal activities, Bolen pointed out. However, the two newest state parks - Natural Tunnel in Scott County and Occoneechee in Mecklenburg County - do not yet have cabins, swimming facilities, or riding horses, and Natural Tunnel State Park also has no campgro ; at present. At Douthat State Park, the lake and a portion of Wilson Creek will be open for the 1969 trout fishing season April 5. The pay-by-the-day plan, administered by the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, permits a daily limit of five trout. A trout license is not necessary, but a regular fishing license is required, according to the Commission. Full information about all of Virginia’s state parks and recreational areas is available from the Division of Parks office in Richmond, Bolen added.

The bulls at both stations recently completed 84 days of the 140-day official gain test and were weighed December 26 at Dublin and December 27 at Culpeper. The 84-day feed test gains were very impressive, though there is considerable variation between individuals. The average we^ight-per -day-of-age, which measures continuous lifetime gain is the highest for any year of testing so far, which indicates greater superiority of the bulls. At Culpeper, the 45 Herefords, of which 11 are horned and 34 are polled, have an average daily gain for 84 days of 3 pounds and an average weight-per-day-of-age of 2.53 pounds. The 63 Angus have an 84-day test daily gain of 2.90 pounds and a weight-per-day -of age of 2.52 pounds. The 2 Shorthorns have averaged 2.30 pounds per day on feed and 2.20 pounds per day of age. The 7 Charolais have gained 3.27 pounds per day on feed and 2.97 pounds per day of age. All 117 head averaged 2.95 pounds test daily gain and 2.55 pounds weight-per-day-of-age. The top individual bulls at Culpeper by breed are: Hereford — Lot 3, a polled calf consigned by Green Meadow Farm of Stanardsville with a test gain of 3.87 pounds per day and a weight-per-day-of-age of 2.83. Angus — Lot 84, consignment of C. E.

Every salvia variety fits a purpose! Tall kinds can form a background for a border of lowergrowing flowers or flaunt their bright blooms in contrast with evergreens around the house. Dwarf sorts may be massed in beds for accent or in borders to lead the eye wherever the gardener wishes. If there’s a reason for extra early flowers, there are salvia varieties that bloom early. And there are many more colors available than the brilliant scarlet which gave salvias their common name of scarlet sage. Bonfire and Splendens are tall growers, late bloomers. Splendens is the salvia species from which all of today’s varieties have been bred. Flowers of Bonfire are scarlet-red, those of Splenden rich scarlet. Both have extra-long stems for cutting. Just as the varieties above close the salvia season, blooming past frost if in a protected place, so little Fireball, an extra-early flowering, when seeds are sown on April 1. These must be adjusted elsewhere, depending on the date of last frost in the area. Figure backwards from that. extra-dwarf variety opens it. This is a base branching variety with masses of brilliant flowers that continue to bloom until frost. The early-blooming varieties include the most popular St John's Fire, a dwarf with bushy little plants and scarlet red blossoms; White Fire, with creamy flowers. Also Pink Rouge which is a dwarf version of later-flowering Fvening Glow (see below) and Salmon Pygmy, unusual with orange corollas surrounding the pink petals. Medium-early to flower are such varieties as Blaze of Fire, with dwarf, compact plants and bright searlet blooms; Red Pillar with fiery red flowers; Cardinal, an intense red with dark, dark foliage and Violet Flame, a lovely deep violet purple.
