which Queen Elizabeth and the

to Jamaica.

"From London, do heart of do Briton Empire.

"Hip hooray for de gracious Queen from over de ocean to sunny Jamaica."

And now with the fieldwork past, what comes next to the hands of our farmers?

James mentioned one endeavour "we must-or should do before winter sets in "as we walked to- night in the silent fields and lanes of this neighborhood. No excursion abroad could possibly afford him lmore enjoyment than to stroll in these farmlands he knows.

"Hadn't we better go the longer way 'round?" we suggested as we neared a. patch of the woodlands of Home.

James chuckled. "you don't mean to tell me, Ellen, that you are afraid we may lose ourselves on our own acresl"

On St. Andrew's Day we are interested in all things Scottish and at Crathlo about a mile from .-lalmorsl stands the simple modern church, built .n where the Royal Family worship.

Balmoral Castle is beautifully situated in Aberdeenshire on the banks of the river Dee in a wild and picturesque part of the High- lands. The gardens are cleverly laid out adjoining the Castle so that they can be enjoyed at close range, and it is possible to walk straight oilt of the Castle into 9. highly garclened area full of flow- ers and fragrance. Secondly, these separate areas have been individual- ly treated as small units in con- trast to the yast landscape of for- ests and mountains. The fine trees and the natural flora of the place and the Dec itself impart great beauty, which makes Balmoral a rugged contrast to other Royal residences. " The gardens are opened to t a public by gracious permission 0 the Queen on certain days in that part of the summer when the Royal Family is not in residence.

There is an aerial View of Balmoral Castle showing the lay- out of the formal terraces and the amusing roof line with its stepped gables and turrets silhouetted against the dark conifers. In the background the river Dee winds through the trees. Another illustra- tion shows a view of the Castle with the heather clad hills rising in the distance. Between the two towers is a formal garden with rectangular beds and a central fountain. Marble urns flank the gateway: and the great clock-tower is a. landmark for miles around.

"Well, there's this to it," she smiled, "it won't be long until winter and then you'll have noth- ing to do! Oh I suppose." she re- flected a moment, "you'll have to feed the stock. but that." she nod- ded, "will only help you to pass the time. Do you not find, with so little to do, the season monoton- ous?'

"No." James replied," I can't say that I do. As you say we have to tend the stock and that sort of. keeps our minds busy and our muscles in trim-that and the other oddments of work we find to do." And over-hearing we knew, as did he, that on these farm: where mix- ed farming is followed. at no sea- son of the year are there any idle days for the farmers.

Pansles by the thousands fill the beds set in the lawn in the formal gardens. Their rich colors are en- hanced by the gray of the lichen- encrusted stones and perfectly kept green turf. They flower supel-by in the cool clean atmos- phere of the North. A wall foun- taln breaks the repetition of symmetrical panels of the wall and in the sunken garden the central beds are planted with polyantha roses interpianted with antir- rhinums. godetias and pentstemons. Along the wall above is an attrac- tive mixed border. Simple formal rose beds behind the clipped hedge provide a carpet of colour from the windows.

The gardens of I-iolyi-ood House are intimately connected with the architecture and the story of the building. Holyrood house is situat- ed on the outskirts of Edinburgh at the end of Canongate. The site itself is very fine with the superb view of Salisbury Crag and the rol- ling moorland to the south and east. The garden cover: 16 acres which is devoted to lawns and flower beds. fine trees and shrub- beries. Of note is the fine sundial with its multiple facets which dates from 1633.

Holyrocd takes its name from a legend concerning King David 1. King of the Scots. who was set upon by a stag while hunting to the north of Salisbury Crag. Wounded in the thigh, the king tried to seize the rtag's home in self-defense, but grasped the cross which appeared betwen the antlers and to his bewilderment remained in his hands when the stag took flight. That night in a dream, voice directed him "to make a house for canons devoted to the cross". Hence in ll28, David found- ed the Abbey of Hclyrood, linked to the town of Edinburgh by the road known as Canongate. The gardens were very lovely when Mary Queen of Bcota lived in the Palace from 1561 to 1507.

It is interesting to read about these lovely Scottish gardens at this season of the year and to find that many of the flowers and pinata that flourish in the gardens are familiar to us in our garden- ing.

Garden books are wonderful gifts for any gardener at the Christmas season and now is the time to order. If your friend specializes in any flower. a year's subscription to a Rose Society, Delphinium, Iris, Herbs, House Plants, Wildflowers, Violets, or Flower Arrangement will be very acceptable. Books on all of these subject as well as interesting stories of gardens will also be appreciated.

Subscriptions to garden maga- zines are next best to a. good gar- den book as a Christmas gift and there are many to choose from. It is not too soon to be making plans

There are so many garden gifts that any gardener would be glad to receive at the Christmas season and now is the time to make plans for them. December garden chrysanthe- mums are something towrite about and I have been reading about them in a good magazine . . . . The cultivation of chrysanl.he- mums in the garden extends back through many centuries. especially ' -' by the Chinese who regard them as the "flowers for meditation". The Japanese also have cultivated the chrysanthemum for unnum- bered generations ,and have deve- loped many types and forms. Cer- tain of the large flowered. rather shaggy forms are referred to as the Japanese type, although m&nY' others have been originated by the skilled nation of gardeners. Relatively g r e a te r hardiness, larger flowers and the more up- right habit of this newer close of hybrids indicate that they meet with considerable favor with gar- deners who wish to STOW ChYY' santhemums for landscape use.
