WHITE Here is a family with hobbies. Not just the run of the mill, dabble-in-it occasionally sort, but spare time activities that have developed to a degree that rivals the professional. It is the Cortez Hoskins family at 320 W. Alberta st., in Anaheim. Cortez Hoskins has retired from active business, and one of his leisure time projects has been the planning of the family's present home. The house, finished a scant five years ago, is located on the front fringe of a choice 100x156 lot. The area viewed from the street is artfully landscaped to create a charming picture, but complete privacy is achieved by the absence of windows on this north side of the house. The main source of light here is a large section of glass brick near the entrance way. In contrast, generous areas of plate glass windows have been placed on the south side of the house, shielded from the sun by an overhanging porch running the entire length of the house. These windows overlook a secluded patio protected on one side by the L-formed by the house with its attached garage and work shop and on the other by a cedar windbreak. At the bend in this L, the long porch meets a covered barbecue equipped with a fireplace, grill and tiled work space. Comfortable redwood and tubular aluminum, furniture make for pleasant lounging.

"We plant what we like", Mrs. Hoskins, and judging by the profusion of shrubbery, colorful blossoms, and exotic trees, Hoskins like the stand-out native California plants and be them with rare beauties from her lands.

He has just finished a color portrait of his wife. Its depth of color and clarity of detail attest his proficiency. Nurserymen say by Orange County Nurserymen's Association Hydrangeas, scrubby members of the saxifrage family, have been cultivated in the orient for many centuries. They are prominent among our spring floral displays, doing especially well near the coast. The main bloom season is from June to September, but many fine blooms may be seen both earlier and later. Hydrangeas require at least partial shade and a rich moist loam that is porous in texture. If the soil is heavy or too sandy, it should be improved with ample additions of leaf mold or peat moss. If the soil reaction is near neutral or rather alkaline (not too much so, however, for the plants cannot take too much alkali) the color of the ordinary kind, Hydrangea hortensis of the horticulturists, is a pale pink. If it is acid in reaction, or made so by treatment with Aluminum sulfate at ¼ to ½ pound per square yard, the color changes to a light blue. Some of the European varieties. City Building Hits Near $100,000 Mark Two apartment buildings, a service station and two homes, for which building permits were issued this week by City Building Inspector, brought the total for the week in Anaheim to $90,500, a definite increase over last week's $22,400. This week's total would have been much higher had the permit for the Daystrom Furniture Corp. plant on South st. been issued. Although construction has been begun, Inspector Homer Wallace has been waiting for the return of a Daystrom official from the east to complete the transaction. Permits were issued to Williams and Vary for a house and garage or $12,000; to Shell Oil Co. for a $10,000 service station; to Manuel D. Gonzales for a $17,000 house and garage; to Gus Mabs for an $11,500 house and garage; to Baker Development Co. of Santa Ana for two four-unit apartment buildings at a cost of $20,000 each.

If the soil reaction is near neutral or rather alkaline (not too much so, however, for the plants cannot take too much alkali) the color of the ordinary kind, Hydrangea hortensis of the horticulturists, is a pale pink. If it is acid in reaction, or made so by treatment with Aluminum sulfate at ¼ to ½ pound per square yard, the color changes to a light blue. Some of the European varieties hold their color in either acid or alkaline soil, whether blue, rose or white. The plants should be fertilized in March and April or May with a complete mixed plant food. If blue flowers are desired the Aluminum sulfate should be added at this time. Irrigation should be ample but the soil should not be allowed to remain soaking wet for long. At the same time it should not dry out completely. If too much water is given, or if drainage is poor, the leaves will become mottled yellow, especially between the veins.
