 Molly Roth sweet-talks a plant as she is interviewed for a TV show. 'Grow, or I'll .break your stem' By DOC HOLLOBAUGH

Molly Roth says she was the hit of the Transworld Home Horticulture Exhibit For the uninitiated, the exhibit was held this past spring at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, 111., and everybody who was anybody in the lucrative world of  xxxg green houseplants, and the paraphenalia that goes with them, was then. Molly Roth's contribution to the exhibit was a record called "Plant Talk, Sound Advice for the Care and Feeding of House Plants." The tongue-in-cheek subtitle is "Do you speak English, Ivy?" and includes appropriate conversations with wandering Jew, African violets, palms, ferns, spider plants and others. "We knocked them out" said Roth from her Green Earth plant shop in Lafayette, Ind., where she deals in facts and superlatives.   Roth's theory to that most people talk to the things they love. "You talk to your cat, right? Well, there are people who sincerely believe that by talking to plants they set up good vibes." "I've talked to plants all my life. Sometimes I say, 'Grow, or I'll break your stem.'"  As for horticulturists who scoff at the talk-to-plants theory, Roth thinks many of them may have brown thumbs.   "Raising house plants to like raising kids. I've seen parents who are not In control.   Plants scare some people like "A plant has to know who is boss."  Roth has a 92,000 stereo system in her shop, "A twenty-first century looking number with purple lights." A sign says, "Play the free juke box, the plants love it" "My plants are gorgeous. They hear everything — golden oldies, add rock, country western, classical" 'Roth said. "Let me tell you about the album cover, babe. You'll love it

By the way, I got a letter from Marion, la., wanting a record. Where is that? "Well, hell get it as soon as we get the shipment     Anyway, the girl on the record Jacket looks like Lady Godiva.   This girl with long blonde hair falling all over her shoulders.   She's standing In back of my Juke box with a watering can in one hand and... it really looks like Eve in her bunch of plants. Terrific. "I think I'm so darn clever, so I wrote the script for the record. I said to myself, 'Molly, this is just pure dynamite.' "There is a plant music record out but it's just pure classical. You know, Bach, Beethoven. I don't have it    My plants have to be versatile. "If an add rock freak comes in and buys one of my plants, what happens when he takes it home if that plant has grown upon Bach? Disaster, right?" Beside*, her theory goes, if you get close enough to talk to your plants you're close enough to see if they need water or they have bugs

Blues instrumental obscurity.  Both sides penned by G. Smith and J. Scherb. 

According to wikipedia, Oakland is a town in the west-central part of Garrett County, Maryland. The town has a population of 1,925 according to the 2010 United States Census. Surely someone from a so little town must known something about this so remarkably named band !
