Enjoys Work As Supply Teacher In London, Eng.

As a supply teacher Miss De- Blois fills in temporary staff vacancies. This gives her oppor- tunity to visit many English schools.

"Nearly all the children have relatives in Canada or friends who have just moved there," she says. .

While English schools are crowded, Miss DeBlois considers they have good equipment. School programs for the very young chil- dren are excellent too as far as recreation projects are concerned. she says. However. she doubts whether the English child gains by the early start which is made

cultural jungles, meets new plants, bean tall tales of fellow travellers, does grim battle with wily beasts and stubborn soils, and fishes in the quiet pools of gardening books. pools whose ever-widening ripples may spread to Lapland or Tibet. It is a tale of difficulties over- come and Joys attained after pro- longed toll, of a Journey in which the recompense lies not only in the goal. but in the struggle towards it. every foot of which is strewn with slaughtera and triumphs. This pursuit is something more than a hobby. and something not much lees than a religion, a life- work, ,which, fully entered upon, weaves such enchantment as no man can resist. With greater know- ledge, practice, and exploration, coma greater delights, so that in time, the garden, which, godlike, one has created from the wilder- ness, becomes one”: whole world, a. world enclosed, in which there are no longer any dragons. and out- side influences are powerless to

Gardens. however large or small, have to be made. they don't Just HAPPEN. If the chosen site has any marked features of its own, use them as a base to work from. The kinds of trees and plants which grow there naturally will be far more harmonious than any 1mD01'tecl species, and. if skilfully augmented and enhanced with others of their tribe, will look bet- ter and grow better han "foreign- ers".

Certain elementary principles are involved, whatever the nature of the site. and it is mainly in the grouping of them that the garden- ers, ingenuity and art is brought into play. One needs some true. some treea. some little alpinos for the spring, and lilies to rear cool heads into summer moonlight; it is in the planning, the uniooeing of the creative force, that. the Joy of gardening lies. It Just depends on how one 1i'EE'.I.iS about a garden. We get. out of it pretty much what we put into it. Having made the garden for love of it, the mistakes do not matter, we rub them out, and still for love of it do it all over again. a garden being a. stage on which the scenery may be regrouped in many forms. The successful gardener, in min- istering to his flowers. derives from them some subtle benefit, and in proportion as he spends himself on their behalf. so he becomes re- freshed and soothed. and learns to prise the simple things and value them above what are com- monly accounted riches.

I have seen many lovely large Christmas Cacti covered with rosy red bloom and a. graceful medium sised one is in flower here in the garden room. At this season of the year. It is more than welcome.

This is one of those heirloom kinds of plants, lasting for years in the home and increasing in size. There are many varieties and hy- brids ef this species, and many are the recipes for growing the Christ- mas Cactus, and those who are successful with it naturally think their method is the best. I think that it will not be ecessaiy to change even if some other gardener may do very differently with them.
