New Trustees

HE TWO NEWEST members of the

California Arboretum Founda-
tion’s Board of Trustees are Morgan
Evans, a landscape architect long
associated with the Walt Disney
organization, and Richard M. Ray,
president of the Horticultural Pub-
lishing Company. With the addition
of these gentlemen, each of whom
will serve three terms totaling nine
years, the Board now has

members.
Morgan “Bill” Evans is a native of
Southern California who has been

Morgan Evans
involved in landscaping and _ horti-
culture for more than forty years.
In the mid-thirties he was a partner

in Evans and Reeves Nurseries in
Los Angeles, specializing in rare
plants and custom landscaping. In
1954, Bill and his brother Jack were
commissioned to provide landscape
services for Disneyland. By 1967,
he had become so involved with the
Disney organization he closed his
own business and joined the Disney
staff, devoting full time to the land-
scape development of Walt Disney
World. Bill is the author of Disney-
land’s World of Flowers, an official
guidebook to the park’s landscaping.
He is a member of numerous gar-
den societies, among them the

Richard Ray

Pacific Tropical Botanic Garden,
American Horticulture Society, Roy-
al Horticultural Society, and the

Botanical Society of South Africa.
He is also past president of the
American Institute of Landscape
Architects and currently serves as
a member of the California State
Fair Commission.

Dick Ray is a native of Illinois
who made his way into the horticul-
tural world through the publishing
field and his own interest in the sub-
ject. After graduating from North-
western University, he entered into
a variety of publishing ventures that
led to his formation of the Horti-
cultural Publishing Company of
which he is president. In associa-
tion with Regensteiner Publishing
Company, Dick’s company is the
independent producer of the Ortho
Book Series for the Chevron
Chemical Company. In addition to
his publishing associations, he is a
founding member of the Garden
Workshop Horticulture Therapy
Program, a school for the develop-
mentally disabled in Lakeside,
California. He is also a member of
the National Council of Therapy
and Rehabilitation through Horti-
culture. Dick is a member of the
Los Angeles Men’s Garden Club
and serves as distribution coordi-
nator for “Color for the Landscape,”
the well known guide to southern
California landscaping published
under the direction of Dr. Samuel
Ayres, Jr., and the editorship of Dr.
Mildred Mathias, emeritus profes-
sor of Botany at UCLA.

Garden Internes

| es SPRING, four University of
Delaware graduate students,
Karla Patterson, Jane Pepper, Kim
Bast, and Phil Correll, spent a
month at the Los Angeles State and
County Arboretum in partial ful-
fillment of the curricula require-
ments of a garden management pro-

am sponsored jointly by the uni-

Longwood Fellows, they were pur-
suing a two-year course of field and
classroom work leading to a master’s
degree in horticulture. Accompany-
ing them during their stint at the
Arboretum was Dr. Richard Lighty,
coordinator of the Longwood pro-

Karla Patterson

gram and professor of horticulture
at the university and currently presi-
dent of the American Association of
Botanical Gardens and Arboreta.

There are two classes in the pro-
gram each year with a total enroll-
ment of ten students, all of whom
receive a fellowship. The program
is unique in that it offers opportuni-
ties for those primarily interested in
garden management. At the Arbo-
retum they were able to observe and
discuss management at various
levels and at the same time engage
in the kind of practical work they
would likely be supervising at some
future date. Their assignment here
was to assist in the location and
mapping of plants.

During their stay in Arcadia, the

students were the guests of mem-
bers of the Board of Trustees of the
California Arboretum Foundation
who were able to offer their special
insights into garden activities. Be-
fore returning home, they visited
the Tournament of Roses float-m
ing center and gardens in San
Diego and San Francisco.

Fiesta de Flores

Fie THE BIGGEST event of the
year at South Coast Botanic
Garden, this year’s Fiesta de Flores
on May 20 and 21 is certain to con-
tinue the tradition. It will be high-
lighted by an outstanding plant sale
that no home gardener will want to
miss and that is motivated by the
Foundation’s fund-raising program
to help pay for the garden’s new
buildings. To maximize the effec-
tiveness of the sale, a fine collection

cacti, and orchids chosen for their
unusual color or shape. Among
plants not commonly available will
be varieties of the tropical twining
vines, dioscorea; morning glories or
ipomoea; the low-growing perennial
herb, raphionacme zeyherli; euphor-
bias; and bombax trees. A selection
of rare pelargoniums from a Santa

arbara grower specializing in un-
usual geranium varieties is expected
to prove highly popular. Another
sale category will offer what in
effect will be unique mementos of
the garden. These will take the
form of original boutique items
made from pods, seeds, pine cones,
and pebbles gathered from the
grounds.

Apart from the sale, the South
Coast Botanic Garden Foundation
has planned attractions that will ab-
sorb the attention of people of all
ages. For the children, there will be
a special area where they can pot
their own plants. For art lovers,
there will be demonstrations of flow-

2 LASCA

er arranging, bonsai, Sumi Japanese
brush painting, and the mounting
of bromeliads on cork. Those inter-
ested in the practical aspects of
gardening can attend lectures by Joe
Littlefield, veteran commentator and
practitioner in the field. And for the
photographers, and those who just
like to stroll about and look, there
will be fern, bromeliad, herb, fuch-
sia, and vegetable displays.

Foundation docents will offer
guided walking tours for the ener-
getic, and for those preferring a
more relaxed view of the garden
there will be the usual tours by
tram.

Stock Chaser

yale DONATING a new Arbore-
tum tram last summer, the Cali-
fornia Arboretum Foundation pur-
chased a flat-bed electric truck for
the Arboretum nursery. Known in
the trade asa “nursery stock chaser,”
the vehicle is an all-steel, 10-foot-
long, uncovered truck powered by
six rechargeable batteries. It fea-
tures a flat bed approximately six
feet long by three and a half feet
wide that will permit moving all
but the largest plants between the
nursery and the grounds. Cost of
the much needed vehicle was $3,269.
A nine-foot trailer designed for the
power unit is on order, and when it
arrives the two units will not only
provide the necessary flexibility
needed for moving plants, but will
also be of great use during such
events as the Baldwin Bonanza
where a quiet, mobile, non-pollut-
ing truck is needed to move plants
purchased by the public to their
cars.

CAF Annual Meeting

HIS YEAR'S California Arboretum
Foundation business meeting,
to be held Tuesday, June 20, will
have a special flavor to it certain to
please attending members. It will

mark, first of all, the 30th annivers-
ary of the founding of the organi-
zation. With this in mind, Founda-
tion president Ruth Mary Larson
has arranged an early evening meet-
ing starting with guided tours at
five, dinner at six followed by a
brief business session, then a unique
fashion show capped by the annual
plant distribution. The scene will
be that Jovely and appropriate area,
the mall in front of the Queen Anne
Cottage.

The fashion show will focus not
so much on clothes as on the Arbo-
retum history they reflect from the
Baldwin era, or about 1875 to 1950.
Sandy Snider, Arboretum historian,
will be the commentator as twenty
or more ladies of Las Voluntarias
model the clothing styles of that
75-year period, the dresses and other
items of apparel drawn from the
Arboretum historical collections.

Before going home, members will
have a choice of two plants to take
with them. Superintendent John
Provine has selected Helichrysum
bellidioides, a perennial from New

Zealand commonly known as straw
flower because of the straw-like tex-
ture of the flowers and because they
last a long time when cut and dried,
and Ardisia crispa, a shrub or pot
plant, indoors or outdoors, from
China notable for its long-lasting
crop of red berries.

Spring Extravaganza

HIS YEARS Spring Extravaganza
at the Los Angeles State and
County Arboretum will be held June
10th and 11th, a little later in the
season than in the past. It will be
the fifth Extravaganza to be staged
and like the others will offer the
gardening public just about every-
thing it might wish to see or hear
about in the world of horticulture.
A totally new feature will be
Eucayptus Days designed to ac-
quaint the public with the great
variety of plants in this genus that
offer a wide range of landscape
possibilities. There are many who
still associate eucalptus with the
giant blue gum, a tree far too large

for the average home garden. The
Arboretum’s Australian Section con-
tains about 180 out of approximately
500 species of eucalyptus, making it
one of the largest collections out-
side Australia. Experts will give
guided walking tours through the
section, focussing attention on those
species having the greatest potential
for home use such as the low-grow-
inging shrub with roselike flowers,
E. rhodantha. In anticipation of an
aroused interest, visitors will be
given the opportunity to select
among some 20 species of eucalyp-
tus seedlings and seeds that will be
offered for sale for this event only.

Regular features of these horti-
cultural field days will include ex-
hibits by the Palm, Cactus and Suc-
culent, Santa Anita Bonsai, Hemer-
ocallis and Amaryllis, Fern, Begonia,
Epiphyllum, Camellia, Bromeliad,
Orchid, and Pasadena Horticultural
societies, and others. Each of these
will have representatives on hand to
discuss their specialties with inter-
ested visitors. A ve ular fea-
ture are the plant clinics where
visitors can get an answer to just
about any horticultural question and
where they can bring their own
plants for identification or for diag-
nosis of suspected disease or growth
failure. The Arboretum Plant Sci-
ence Reference Library will be open
and staffed so that visitors can take
advantage of its wide range of books
and _ periodicals.

Also open both days will be the
Tropical Greenhouse, a repository
of ferns, orchids, bromeliads and
not-often-seen economic plants such
as the vanilla bean vine. The propa-
gation nurseries will also be open as
will the research building which
will have research staffers on hand
to explain the many exhibits. Al-
ways a highlight will be the twice-
daily vegetable garden demonstra-
tions, conducted outdoors next to the
Garden For All Seasons with bleach-
er seating to provide every visitor
with a good view of the proceedings.

Prototype Greenhouse

ee EXPERIMENTAL GREENHOUSE
constructed by Vimar Incorpo-
rated, a firm specializing in products
fabricated from polyvinyl-
chloride), was installed at the Ar-
boretum last fall. Developed by
Vimar and the Arboretum as a pos-
sible prototype medium-sized, low-
cost greenhouse, the 15- by 25-foot
structure is composed of double
sheets of PVC over a wooden frame.
The area between the sheets is in-
flated so as to provide insulation that
absorbs the heat of the day and
gives it off at night. A water-filled
sleeve around the base acts as a
seal against the bare ground and as
a stabilizing weight to prevent mov-
ing in the wind.

There are a number of advantages
to be gained from a greenhouse of

this type. It is portable and prob-
ably won't require a building per-
mit. As a temporary structure it is
not taxable. It is expected to last
8 to 10 years, which is at least three
times longer than polyethylene-type
greenhouses currently being used.
The idea of using PVC in double
sheets for a greenhouse developed
from use of the material for swim-
ming pool covers that would elimi-
nate the need for heaters and thus
save energy. The potential for its
use for greenhouses is much greater.
In addition to the model being test-
ed by the Arboretum nursery, Vimar
will supply an igloo-shaped, home-
owners model that will be placed in
the Arboretum’s Garden For All Sea-
sons for visitors to examine. An

added esthetic value for homeown-
ers lies in the fact that PVC can be
produced in a variety of colors.

PLANT PORTRAITS

@ Ses SEARCH for pepper has played
a colorful part in the history of
the world, stimulating exploration
of the globe and opening up new
countries to trade and Western
civilization.

Pepper was cultivated in India
and the Indonesian Islands long be-
fore the Christian era and was one
of the most important commodities
of early Indo-European trade. By
the first century A.D., Rome was
already importing pepper from India
while exporting red coral, a com-
modity the Indians valued as a
charm against disease and danger.
Unfortunately for Rome, this ar-
rangement resulted in a gross trade
imbalance requiring the sending of
large shipments of gold and silver
eastward, a practice causing a con-
tinual drain on the great empire's
monetary reserves.

Pliny the Elder, the Roman natu-
ralist, encyclopedist, and writer,
complained bitterly that pepper sold
at one hundred times its original
cost by the time it arrived in Rome.
The high prices inevitably attracted
unscrupulous merchants who in-
creased their profits further by di-
luting pepper with various foreign
materials and reselling the resultant
product at astronomical prices. This
practice became so widespread that
the authorities in Rome, Alexandria,
and Baghdad enacted laws making
any adulteration of pepper and other
spices punishable by death.

For many centuries, pepper was
ranked in importance with gold and

silver. When Alaric, the King of
the Visigoths, appeared with his
hordes before the wall of Rome in
408 A.D., he demanded 5,000 pounds
of silver, 3,000 pounds of pepper,
4,000 silk tunics, and 3,000 valuable
skins as ransom against sacking the
city. The Romans paid the price,
only to discover that this did not
prevent the Goths from capturing
and plundering the eternal city two
years later, an event that started the
collapse of the Western Roman
Empire.

Throughout the Middle Ages,
Europe was obliged to buy pepper
from the Arabian traders who con-
trolled the bulk of the spice traffic.
That this pepper came from India
and later from Java was kept secret
by the Arabs for centuries. To dis-
courage possible competition, the
Arabs spread fantastic stories of
monsters, dragons, and fierce wild-
men inhabiting the faraway spice
islands. From India, pepper was
taken to Arabia, and from Arabia to
Alexandria, Venice and Genoa
whose wholesalers added more than
their fair share to its already inflated

rice.

One of the reasons why pepper
and, to a lesser extent, other spices
were so much in demand in Europe
in medieval times, and even later,
was the poor quality of the foods
available and the monotony of the
very limited diet. There were no
potatoes, tomatoes, beans, squashes,
and many other vegetables and fruits
we enjoy in the twentieth century,

nor was there any sugar, coffee, tea,
cocoa, or chocolate. And of course,
there was no refrigeration or plumb-
ing either.

Pepper was used not only to im-
prove the taste of certain foods but
also as a preservative for meat. It
was also believed that consumption
of pepper would keep away diseases.
When the Black Death landed on
the shores of Italy in 1347, having
already devastated Asia and North-
ern Africa, much pepper was eaten
as a preventive measure. This did
not, however, prevent the plague
from killing in only three years
approximately twenty-five million
Europeans, or roughly one-fourth of
the continent’s entire population.

The demand for pepper coupled
with its high high cost were the
main motivations in Portugal's ef-
forts to find a sea passage to India.
When the Portuguese navigator
Vasco da Gama cirumnavigated the
Cape of Good Hope and reached
the spice-rich port of Calicut on the
west coast of India in 1498, the
Arab monopoly was broken, and
Lisbon became the most important
trading center for oriental spices and
the richest port in Europe, replac-
ing Venice and Genoa. Christopher
Columbus, who tried to reach India
in the east by sailing west, was not
so lucky. Instead of India, he only
rediscovered America, and instead
of pepper he only found yams, kid-
ney beans, corn, and tobacco. But
the Portuguese did not maintain
their control of the spice trade for

LASCA 5

long, the monopoly shifting to Hol-
land, from Holland to England, and
eventually to the United States.

Pepper (Piper nigrum) is indige-
nous to the wooded slopes of the
Western Ghats mountain ranges in
India. It is a perennial vine which
climbs by means of aerial adhesive
roots very much like an ivy. The
leaves are ovate, entire, up to 4
inches wide, petioled, alternate,
glabrous, leathery and five-, seven-,
or nine-veined. The upper leaf sur-
face is dark green and glossy. The
lower surface is sea green, dull, and
densely covered with whitish pellu-
cid dots. The inflorescences are cat-
kin-like, cylindrical, pendant, oppo-
site to leaves, and may contain up to
150 flowers. The flowers are whitish,
very small, naked (without sepals
and petals), and usually unisexual.
Each flower is subtended by a bract.
The staminate or male flower con-
sists of two stamens and the pistil-
late or female flower of one pistil.
Bisexual flowers, however, exist in
some cultivated forms. The fruits
are berry-like, thin-fleshed, one-seed-
ed, globose, and approximately one-
fifth of an inch in diameter. Their
color is red when ripe and black
when dry.

Pepper is cultivated in the tropics
from sea level up to about 1500 feet.
It requires an annual, evenly dis-
tributed rainfall of aboyt 100 inches,
light shade, and a fertile soil with
good drainage. One acre produces
about 10,000 pounds of berries.

The berries are processed into
commercial black or white pepper.
If the crop is to be converted into
black pepper, the berries are picked
while they still are green and spread
on mats or concrete floors in the sun
to dry. During the drying process
they turn black, shrivel and become
the familiar peppercorns. Some-
times the berries are fermented in
heaps or dipped into boiling water
before drying. If white pepper is to
be made, the berries are picked
when fully ripe, bagged, and sub-

merged into running water for about
ten days to soften the hull (skin and
pulp). The softened hull is then
removed by rubbing or stamping
underfoot in tubs and the innercorns
are washed and dried in the sun.
The dried innercorns are creamy-
white in color. One hundred pounds

The yearly world production of
black and white pepper averages
about 155,000,000 pounds. Most of
it is produced in India, Indonesia,
Sarawak, and Sri Lanka. The United
States is the largest importer fol-
lowed by the Soviet Union, West
Germany, France, and the United
Kingdom. The value of United
States’ black and white pepper im-
ports in 1973 was $26,000,000, a
figure representing one quarter of

Penang, Singapore, Tellicherry,
Muntok, and Sarawak. They differ
slightly from each other in their
color, size, pungency and _ other
physical or chemical properties.

Pepper is available in markets
whole, cracked, coarsely ground,
medium ground and finely ground.
If stored in closed containers in dry
places at moderate temperatures, the
whole peppercorns keep for many
years without any loss of quality.
The ground pepper, however, has a
short shelf life.

The chief active ingredients in
pepper are piperine, an alkaloid,

6 LASCA

and chavicine, a resin. Piperine is
tasteless at first but has a burning
after-taste. Chavicine is responsible
for the pungency and is most abun-
dant in the mesocarp (fleshy pulp of
the berry). Consequently, black
peppers are more pungent than
white

If there ever has been a cure-all
remedy in folk medicine, it is the
pepper. It has been used not only
as a cure for everything from tooth-
ache to epilepsy, but also as a pre-
ventive drug for typhus, cholera,
scarlet fever, smallpox, leprosy and

the bubonic plague.

In addition to the true pepper,
there are a number of other plants
which are the source of various kinds
of peppers. Among these, perhaps
the best known is Melegueta pep-
per (Aframomum melegueta) from
tropical West Africa. It is an her-
baceous plant of the ginger family
(Zingiberaceae). Its seeds, often
called grains of Paradise, exceed
even black pepper in pungency and
piquancy, and at one time were in
great demand in Europe. Today,
however, their use is almost entirely

limited to Ghana and Nigeria whose
inhabitants use them for seasoning.
The section of West Africa once
known as the “Grain Coast” owed
its name to this spice.

Green, sweet, bell, red, cayenne
and chili peppers, sometimes grown
in vegetable gardens, belong to the
nightshade family (Solanaceae)
and are not related to the true
pepper.

Plants For a Contained Atmosphere

Equisetum scirpoides and Ficus
pumila cv. ‘Quercifolia’ can be
grown in the same contained atmos-
phere as specimens. Together they
seem complementary

Equisetum scirpoides, commonly
known as dwarf horsetail, grows up-

t and open; Ficus pumila cv.
‘Quercifolia’ hugs the soil and acts
as a ground cover. Both like moist,
cool conditions, which is the reason
for growing them in a contained
atmosphere in Southern California.

scirpoides is an evergreen
perennial that grows three to six
inches high. It is found in moist
wooded banks from Labrador to
Alaska, and as far south as British
Columbia, Pennsylvania, and _IIli-
nois. It is also found in Europe and
Asia.

F. pumila cy. ‘Quercifolia’ is a
German cultivar developed about
40 years ago. It is dark green with
lobed leaves which resemble oak
leaves, thus giving it its cultivar
name. It creeps and hugs the ground,
rocks, and trees. In a contained at-
mosphere, it will cling to the sides
of the container. It is necessary to
keep it pruned to keep it attractive.

When pruning your ficus, save

John Provine

the trimming or cuttings and re-
lant. They grow very easily. The
cuttings should be two inches long
and they should be pinned flat to
the surface of the soil mix with a
hairpin rather than imbedding them
into the soil.

Both these plants require the
same growing conditions. To grow

them in a contained atmosphere, the

following steps should be taken:

1. Select a clear glass or plastic bowl
with a large opening which will
enable you to work with the ficus.

2.Clean the bowl thoroughly with
detergent and rinse with bottled
water,

3. Cover the bottom of the container

LASCA 7

with chips of charcoal to allow
for drainage.

4. Add moist growing mix. The Ar-
boretum prefers a soilless mix of
one-half peat moss and one half
perlite. This is a light growing
mix and will allow for correct
moisture and oxygen balance.

5. Water the plant with distilled
water. A cooking baster should be
used by pointing the open end
against the glass so that water
will run down the inside of the

sualaier thereby preventing

splashing the soil on the sides of
the container. t the water
stand so that the growing mix can
soak up the water, then tilt the
container slightly and take the

aster and pull off the excess
water.

6. You can cover your container with
a lid or saran-type wrap but it is
not necessary. A cover just helps
in keeping the plants moist.

7. Selecting a place in the home or
office is very important. Both
plants like soft light and a cool

temperature. Do not grow in di-
rect sunlight

Equisetum scirpoides is easily
started from divisions. The one
source in this area is Tropic World,
Inc., Escondido, California.

Ficus pumila cv. ‘Quercifolia’ is
available at the Arboretum Gift
hop.
