"as Gardens" stir in the hearts of of us who love them. As soon II the snow had gone from thrsunay garden facing the south it--was possible to pinch the fragrant herbs growing there, not breaking off branches of the lavender and thyme but getting all the lovely fragrance to enjoy. Interest in herbs is no modern development, but down through the ages. from the Ebers Papyrus I medical text of 1500 B. C. through the writings of Theophrastus. Dioscordies and Galen to Vergii Ind Homer. to Gerarde and Cul- peper we may trace the progress of herbs. Along with the arts. these plants found sanctuary in the monasteries through the Dark Ages. The monks of the Bene- dictine and Cistercian orders col- lected and cultivated herbs for condiments and medicines. Spices and drugs. as much as gold. lured men to search for the shortest routes to far countries; As a result. new lands were dis- covered which contributed new knowledge of plants. During the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- turies. the early physic and botanic

gardens were established. Many herbals were printed They bor- rowed heavily from the older

manuscripts and contained infor- mation of medical usage. folklore and superstition.

They were planted in sunny cor- ners near the house to be avail- able to the busy housewife. Some herbs produce useful seeds; some. leaves. roots. flowers. or buds. Among the favorite herbs for culin- ary use are sage. the various mints. lovage. caraway. thyme. chervil. parsley. burnet. chives. sweet marjoram. summer savory. sweet woodruff. and sorrel.

At Easter time there are small flowers growing wherever the sun and warmth has reached them and Easter means life and growth. Most Easter Lilies grow wild on the islands of Formosa. Okinawa and the islands of Ryukyu. and thereabouts. and are slight vari- ants of the Longiflorum lily. Many. many lilies have been imported ev- ery year in this country. but. now they are being grown in our own Canadian provinces of British Col- uhia and also in Oregon and other states.

Several years ago The Croft Lily Growers Association was formed and the croft lily is a special lily growing low with I very large fine

ower. They have a phenomenal rate of propagation and this variety is suitable for forcing in pots for the Eastern trade and other hot- liouse needs.

liany indoor workers have taken Ip this business of growing lilies because the life appealed to them. and they are enjoying life every day as they grow older rather than waiting for some day when they must give up all the loveliness of the changing season because of their staying too long in the old ways.

-dealing with creature frailtles that

threaten your comfort. Doubtleu your husband was drawn to her because he felt she had a heart (evidenced in her kindness to children. etc.). and the capacity to really care for him. just for himself - I far cry from your destructive insincerity.

Back Where Trouble Started

Now that you've routed the other woman. by showing your- self more evil than she , what'l the score? Hank has learned his lesson. you say: and things- are just as they were before! Pre- cisely; just where the trouble star-ted. Homes aren't wrecked fiom without; they are wrecked from within; and. as I get the picture. Hank was a soul adrift. in search of sanctuary. when he became involved with a woman at work.

Obviously you are your own worst enemy in marriage; and if you manage to dominate Hank on your terms for life. it will he at dreadful cost to his growth, I think. My advice is to read "God's Reach" llllacalaster Park! by Glenn Clark. as a spiritual guide- line in finding your way out of the moral darkness that envelopes you now. M. H
