Art Unit to Hear Printmakers' Talk Gazette Gardening Under the Green Thu If you think of container gardening as a rather limited horticultural diversion, consider the nurserymen: Everything he has is grown in containers and large or small everything is thriving and healthy. There is nothing that won't grow in a container for a limited time, at least. Anyone who turns his imagination loose on this particular form of gardening can not only create corners of interest but of lasting beauty as well. Right now, for instance, you can plant spring-blooming bulbs in containers. Daffodils, tulips and hyacinths, to say nothing of the minor bulbs such as grape hyacinths and Dutch irises, all thrive in containers, and the beauty they create for spring is welcome, indeed. Plant Plenty Use gallon nursery cans, clay pots or redwood planters for your bulbs and plant plenty of them. You can't overdo things in this respect. Layer some gravel in the bottom of container, then a bit of soil mixed with bonemeal and a thin layer of water for this purpose. Through N 1. Lilies may now. Try them as well as in t 2.

Accountants Meet Tonight The National Association of Grape hyacinths and Dutch irises, all thrive in containers, and the beauty they create for spring is welcome, indeed. Plant Plenty Use gallon nursery cans, clay pots or redwood planters for your bulbs and plant plenty of them. You can't overdo things in this respect. Layer some gravel in the bottom of container, then a bit of soil mixed with bonemeal and a thin layer of plain soil over this mix. Next come the bulbs, as many of them as you can cram in; then soil to cover them. Watering Soak thoroughly and store the containers in a cool, preferably dark place, where root development can take place before top growth starts. Water them as needed to keep soil moist until the tops push up. Then move them into the sunlight. When you plant bulbs in large containers, especially in redwood planters, it adds greatly to their beauty if you overplant with blooming annuals such as alyssum, linaria, or violas.

UC Aide Joins Massive Project To Uncover Vital Chinese History RIVERSIDE — Dr. James B. Parsons, Jr., associate professor of Far Eastern history and culture at the University of California, Riverside has been appointed to a 14-member Project Committee of the Association for Asian Studies to direct a massive, worldwide research project in Chinese history and culture. With the cooperation of scholars in Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States, the Asian Studies Association will oversee the preparation and publication of a biographical history of the Ming period, the 16th to 17th century. have persisted into recent times. "Institutionally and intellectually, the China of modern times — in certain basic respects even the Communist China of today — had begun to take a definite shape in the Ming period," he said. "For this reason, too, it has become a focal point of controversy between Communist and non-Communist historians." Dr. de Bary said that under present conditions the responsibility falls to the free world to arrive at a correct understanding. interpretation of the Ming period is clearly necessary for any understanding of this modern world in which the Chinese fifth or quarter of mankind are now the least assimilated, and seem likely to remain the least assimilable, into the growing world order." It was during the Ming era that certain intellectual and institutional modes of thought began to take shape which are discernible even in the Communist China of today. Because of the dynasty's pivotal role in pointed to a 14-member Project Committee of the Association for Asian Studies to direct a massive, worldwide research project in Chinese history and culture. With the cooperation of scholars in Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States, the Asian Studies Association will oversee the preparation and publication of a biographical history of the Ming period, the 14th to 17th centuries in China and the pivotal period in Chinese history. From this, it is expected, will come a basis for understanding both the beginning of modern China and the mature civilization of old China. $170,000 Job Headquarters for the $170,000 undertaking will be at Columbia University, where a five-man editorial board already has begun coordinating the activities of more than 70 scholars throughout the world. Publication of the Ming Biographical History (MBH) is set for seven years from now. Dr. William de Bary of Columbia declared that no other project in Chinese studies has ever attained such a degree of comprehensive and widespread support. "One reason," he explained, "is that the Ming period has become a major frontier in Chinese studies because it was the culmination of traditional Chinese civilization as well as the first phase of its sustained contact with the West, and yet has been relatively little studied." Fell Behind In the centuries of the Ming period, stated the Columbia professor, when the West was moving into a phase of rapid expansion and modernization, China began to fall behind in its economic development and increasingly to manifest the autocratic tendencies which...
