Pansies and lilacs
popular first flowers

THE FIRST farmer’s market
opens this Saturday, and if you're
locking for bedding plants, make
sure to come down, You might
end up hearing some great stories
about early Terrace gardens, as
well as finding beautiful plants.

Last year I bought a plant from
a vendor at the market who
couldn’t tell me the name of the
plant, or explain in English what
it would look like.

When it grew up and flowered,
I recognized it was a type of
golden rod that my grandmother
had in her flower bed (which was
located where the Royal Bank is
now).

Jn the pioneer years in Terrace
\ there-were not a lot of big flower
gardens. People probably didn’t
have the time or the money to in-
vest in flowers.

The popular flowers around
town were hollyhocks,
nasturtiums, bachelors buttons,
and pansies, And we still see the
remains of lilac trees that were
very popular,

_ Mrs, Jessie Dover grew lovely
asters near (he corner of Kalum
and Lakelse.’ Mr. E.T. Kenney
lived at the comer of Emerson
and Lakelse and had a grapevine.
He also had a rosebush called the
American Beauty.

Mrs, Desjardin. grew peonies
and sold them at the railway sta-
tion, She also sold strawberries
and raspberries to passengers
while they waited.

' Mrs. Glass, who lived across
from the bowling alley, and Mrs.
Chapman, who used to live where
the Slumber Lodge is now, both
had nice flower beds.

And out on Kalum Lake Road,
Ms. Pobile grew candy tuffs, eve-
ning, scénted Stock. and a jot of

poppies. - .
hh the 1940s, Mrs. Cland King

AT THE MARKET ‘~~
LYNNE CHRISTIANSEN

became the first florist in Terrace.
She and her husband grew over
two acres of bulbs on north Eby,
near the chicken farm. Their
fields bloomed with daffodils,
tulips, narcissus and peonies,

Mrs. King had a friend in
Prince Rupert who was a dorist,
and showed her how to make ar-
tangements for weddings, funer-
als and many other occasions.
Her business ‘‘blossomed’’ and
she sold to hotels, restaurants and
private citizens.

In 1953 Mis. King retired from
the florist business and sold all

‘the bulbs to the Mantels, the fam-

ily which became Terrace’s sec-
ond fiorist.

The Farmer's Market starts

parking lot across from George
Little Park. Lynne Christiansen is
a vendor at zhe market and a
member of the market board.

Around Town
Singers off to Calgary

THIS SATURDAY will be your last chance this season to hear the
Northwest singers pexlorm, They'll be singing at a dessert concert on
May 6 at the Pentecostal Assembly Fireside Room. The concert willl
feature a variety of folk and classical music,

The choir then heads off to Calgary for Musicfest Canada, where they
perform May 19,

The group is regarded as one of Terrace’s hidden treasures, They won
the B.C. Provincial Festival in their class, placed second the year be-
fore, and are invited tothe provincial finals again this year. The North-
west Singers have also received constant invitations to MusicFest Ca1-
ada for the past decade,

More people have probably heard the singers perform outside of Ter-
race, than in the area. The choir also attended the B.C, Festival of the
Arts in Vancouver in 1991, and sung with the Prince George
Symphony and the Vancouver Bach Choir in 1993,

So make sure you don’t miss your last opportunity to hear them in
concert this season. Seating is limited at this event, so get your tickels
early at Erwin’s Jewellers,

Street-proof your kids

IF YOU’RE A PARENT, you’ve probably taught your kids to look
twice before they cross a street, and not to talk to strangers. But what
else can you teach them to keep them safe from harm?

The Terrace Women's Centre is holding a self-defense workshop for
children aged 6-10, Friday, May 12, from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m.

The workshop teaches assertiveness and self-defense skills. In-

structors Derrick and Rita Rothermel have been teaching preventative |

training to women and children for over eleven years.

Using confidence building skills and Goshin-do they help children
develop street smarts, and teach them how to protect themselves.

There is na charge for this workshop, and May 12 is a nos-
instructional day for students.

To register your child, come to the Women's Centre on Park Ave.
and sign a consent for participation form.

Registration is limited and will be on a first come, first served basis,
For more information, call 638-0228.
