DEAR POLLY A few years ago I moved and did not want to use my white nylon panel curtains. I washed, folded and stored them. Now I want to hang them again but the fold lines will not wash out, iron out or hang out.
A friend of mine had the same problem and she solved it by throwing her curtains away. I do not want to throw mine away but cannot use them as they are, so what can I do?

Auchter presented the budget for 1973, which was DEAR POLLY My Pet Peeve is with churches who do not keep their pianos tuned. I am a musician and our group has lots of invitations to sing at other churches. We accept, but it is so annoying and embarrassing, too, to sit down at a piano and even find some of the notes are stuck and some of the keys do not make a sound. I think all churches should have their pianos tuned and repaired at least once a year. BELL DEAR POLLY I am a lawyer telling people what to do.
I always read your problems hoping I can tell someone domestically distressed a thing or two. I want to tell Mae that I covered my black linoleum counter top with that heavy yellow adhesive-backed paper we all use for so many things and simply because I like yellow better than black. It goes on easily, cleans beautifully and lasts well. When it does get worn just rip off and replace. It's that easy.
ESTELLE DEAR GIRLS That method is quick, easy and instantly effective but such a covering would require a certain amount of care. Always use a chopping board and it would seem more practical in a household with no children. They might forget and become careless with it.

"The hyacinth, native of Greece, has spread throughout the North African area. The Roman hyacinth was first found in Italy, later in France. With the fall of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages descended upon Europe. In the chaos of that terrible period, many flowers and vetetables introduced by the Romans were lost. Farms and villages were deserted.
Rude seats of turf were cut from the fields and brought inside the castle walls where people were being protected from the barbarians. Seeds of many wild flowers were in the turf, and in this manner many plants were saved and cultivated, to be later improved. The common bluebell of that time has become our lovely Cantebury Bells.

The famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built by Nebuchadnezzar to please his little bride, Amytis, who grieved for the green hills of her native Media. "Under the Persian rule, beginning in 539 B.C., King Cyrus designed, his own garden and filled it with ornamental plants. In less than 200 years, Persia was conquered by Alexander the Great, and many unusual plants were brought back to Greece. Even before that, Egyptians were sending plant hunters all over the then known world. Ancient Egyptian carvings show that more than 3,000 years ago explorers were bringing cargoes of plants for beauty and fragrance in the temples.
Carvings of waterlily, palm leaf and papyrus are found on the temple columns. Funeral wreaths found in ancient tombs show that they grew narcissis, lilies, and cornflowers.

The context of the program was released by the club and will be used in three articles on The Daily Journal society page. This is the first of the series.) "In the plant world we have within one genus many species and a bewildering number of varieties. The dirt gardener, concerned with seed and soil, moisture and mulch, planting and propogating, has many interests to add zest to living and years to the life span. The arranger uses plant material as an artist uses paint and canvass to create a picture first conceived in the mind of the "To be a well rounded garden club member, one should know something of the origin and spread of plant life, as well as the legends, folklore, and history which are entwined. Two closely related books give interesting background knowledge for the horticulturalist, the arranger, and the interested reader.
"David Fairchild, author of "The World is in My spent many years collecting hew and unusual plant material from all over the world, in an attempt to find superior varieties of grains, fniits, and vegetables suitable for commercial culture. Many tropical plants and trees adapted to the climates of Florida and California are the results of his travels during the early part of this century. "Recently, the National Geographic published a companion book, "The World in Your traces the origin of both vegetables and ornamental plantsThe color plates are exquisite and the information is carefully "The history of flowers follows closely the history of mankind. To the thoughtful person, the flowers of today give us a sense of the past, a link reaching back into the dim unknown. In many places and among many people, flowers have played their part in the daily lives of people like ourselves.
Ever since God planted a garden eastward in Eden, man has tried to follow His plan and example. The legendary site of the Garden of Eden lies between the Tigris and the tax help. A "tree" or "standard" plant is a garden conversation piece. This one is a lantana. Plants grown in "tree" or "standard" form have, for generations, been as accents in the garden to center a' bed, line a path, guide the view to a distant point by the use of a far-off vertical plant.
There are many plants that can be grown as standards. Among the most popular nowadays are lantana and fuchsia. But heliotrope used to be a favorite and might be again, while the easiest plant to train in tree form is the geranium. Would you like to grow a geranium tree or perhaps two of them for accents in your garden? If so, select a strong, sturdy young plant that has a straight, preferably thick stem. Find a stake strong enough for support and several feet tall (so it doesn't have to be replaced as the plant grows) and place stake and plant in a pot one size larger than the plant is in.
Tie plant to stake, allowing space for stem growth. Remove all side shoots, leaving only the foliage at the top of the plant. As new buds sprout from the trunk, keep them from growing. Fertilize once a month, keep new stem growth tied to the stake. Water as necessary, allowing soil to become dry on top between waterings.
If roots become crowded, move stake and plant to a larger pot. In time your care will result in a sturdy stem with a mass of leaves and flowers on top a real conversation piece. It is better to keep the plant in the pot, moving it outdoors in summer, indoors in winter. Handled thus, it will become larger and lovelier each year.
