Days Gone By: Nov. 24, 2016

Because the city many years ago passed an ordinance placing a prohibitive license fee upon the selling of remedies or medicines in a public place in Pendleton, Mr. Haley, a representative of the Quaker remedies, will not be able to show here as he had planned. He asked the council last evening to set aside the ordinance in his behalf, declaring his business was bonafide and that he intended placing the remedies with local drug stores. The council, however, declined to take such action. The ordinance, making the license fee for such operations $50 a day, was passed at the time that Doctor Berry, an alleged representative of the Quaker medicine company, got himself into disrepute here. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Nov. 24, 1966 Hungry livestock that casts eager eyes at tender flowers and grass in Pendleton yards had better look elsewhere. The city council Tuesday asked the staff to draw up an ordinance prohibiting livestock from running at large in the city. The action came after councilman George Winship said, “You wake up and find a mule eating your daisies and there’s nothing you can do about it. We need an ordinance to protect homeowners.” But Winship’s charge that Umatill... (Days Gone By - East Oregonian - East Oregonian (subscription))

The History Of The Tough Tulip And How It Became NYC's Springtime Flower

Have you ever seen a photo of a tulip field from above? IT IS UNREAL, like you're looking at an entirely different planet or a Pendleton blanket made by Mother Nature. (This sentence was not brought to you by Pendleton, they just make really fantastic blankets and I would purchase one with a tulip field pattern.) Here is what it looks like to stand in their majestic waves of color: Tulip fields in Germany. (Getty) What we learned from Marechal Brown of the NYC Parks Department: Tulips are not as likely to re-bloom as daffodils, so they are often treated as temporary installations for spring. They are considered delicious by squirrels, who will dig them up and eat them. Daffodils, on the other hand, are poisonous to squirrels. In New York City tulips were the unofficial "plant of the year" in 2009, the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's arrival (supported by the Dutch) in the Lower Hudson River. Tulips were reputed to arrive on our shores soon after. Since the beginning of the Daffodil Project in 2002, we have planted over 5 million daffodil bulbs and 4.5 million other bulbs, including tulips. We have not counted tulips separately. Tulips come in all colors. Orange was popular in 2009, in honor of Henry Hudson and Holland. This year, we have noticed a lot of deep purple flowers mixed with oranges and yellows, complementary colors. As well as the more demure single color tulips and vibrant displays of more open "parrot tulips" in areas like Flushing Meadows. And now a quick break to look at a tulip selfie featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Just fantastic: What we learned from Carla Sylvester at the Central Park Conservancy: The Central Park Conservancy planted 194,000 tulips, daffodils, and other bulbs for spring blooming. The best places to see them include Conservatory Garden, Shakespeare Garden, the Pond, Grand Army Plaza, Olmsted bed (south end of the Mall), Pleasant Place, and the entrance at East 90th Street. The greatest concentration of tulips in Central Park is in Conservatory Garden at the far north end of the Park. In 2015, we planted 26,300 tulips in the Conservatory Garden, where they have been a tradition for many years, according to Diane Schaub, Director of the Conservatory Garden. (We know they were part of the plan for Conservatory Garden in 1937, but it is unclear whether the tradition was maintained during the cycle of decline that occurred before Central Park Conservancy was founded in 1980.) Conservancy horticulture experts change the color palettes each year to keep them fresh. “We can't do that with daffodils, so tulips give us the opportunity to keep Park visitors guessing and delighted,” said Maria Hernandez, Director of Horticulture at the Conservancy. The Conservatory Garden is actually comprised of three gardens. The North Garden, designed as a French garden, was always meant to have grand displays of tulips in the spring. The 20,000 tulips we now plant each fall are selected to compliment the deep pink spring blooms of the crabapple allees in the background, so colors may include various tones of pink, purple, burgundy, whites, blacks, greens, soft reds, and pale yellows. Designs differ from year to year — sometimes they are geometric, or curvilinear, or mixes of bulbs that we prepare ourselves, of 5 or 6 colors. “It's fun to play with the different tones, forms, heights, and staggered bloom times,” says Schaub. The South Garden — a traditional English design — has also consistently included tulips in its mixed borders... Schaub uses approximately 30 different tulip cultivars, of early, mid, and late blooming types. Warmer colors line two of the seasonal beds echoing similarly warm colors in the perennial beds that they face, while cooler p... (Gothamist)
