Ow Services n Home and Abroad Committee continues to be moat active. and the serving of one's country is emplified in-the work of this department, where our members donate time and money to those in need.

however had it has been for web- and-such plant: it has been good for others. This leads naturally to certain generalisations. which may develop into philosophical speculations. and the drawing of analogies between plant life in our gardens and human life in the outside world. It was natural for Shakespeare, whose profession was the dramn..to see all the world' as a stage. and- wa, as gardeners. find it easy to via- usliu all the world as a garden. with .lte harmful weeds, its de- corative but useless plants, its serviceable vegetables and lelec- table fruits. right up to its crown- ing beauty of flower and tree. We see the struggle for existence going on before our eyes, the seeming victory of the vigorous rampant varieties. whose very exuberance results in their being held in poor esteem and ultimately being rooted out. and we agree that there is a need for a direct- ing hand in both garden and world.

We need not limit our conver- sation to garden matters. and may range over a wide field. for he is a poor gardener who can interest himself in nothing else, but the essence of our contact be- ing impersonal we are able to keep our intercourse free from petty gossip or the trivial details of our daily life. and each time we part it is with a sense of mu- tual enrichment. Friends we are, although we may not so much as know each others name.

If am looking forward in the springtiine when visitors to the garden come again. Garden seats are being painted for the good old summer time, whenever time pcrniits for this work in these wintry days. Plans are also be- ing made for new flower beds of Gcriiniiuns anti many small ups
