Dalrymple, Egmondville, has returned to her home after spending four months in England visiting relatives. On December llth Last year she was reunited with her sister, Mrs. Harrington, whom she had not seen for 50 years. In a series of letters, of which this is the first, she tells of her visit. I made my headquarters with my sister at Southcourt, Aylesbury, and also visited with the remain- ing Varley relatives in Heversham, Westmoreland and Lancaster. From there I went to Kendal, Grasmere, Ambleside. At Gras- mere the grave of the poet Woods - worth is marked by a simple slate stone, with the inscription: Wil- liam Wordsworth; 1850; Mary Wordsworth, 1859. Tucked away in the trees, near the old road to Ambleside, is Dove cottage. Here Wordsworth lived from 1799- 1 1808. In the northeast corner of the church are three stained glass windows, the principal one of which is a memorial to the poet Wordsworth, presented by a num- ber of friends and admirers, both English and American, as the fol- lowing record shows: 1853: In Menibriam Guilielmi Wordsworth, P.C;, amatores et amici Angli partim Anglo-Americani. There is a field overlooking Rydal Waters which in the spring is covered with daffodils and is called Dora's field. Rydal is rich in association with the lake poets and, particularly with the Words - worths. Among the gifts in Amble- side church is a Bible, prayer book and altar books, given by Mrs. Wordsworth, wife of the poet, in his • memory. Rydal Mount was the home of the poet for 37 of his 80 years. Mr. Wordsworth was created Poet Laureate at Buckingham Palace in the year 1845. On the west wall of the church at Ambleside is a mural painting done by Gordan Ransom in 1944. Mr. Ransom was a pupjl of Dr. E. W. Tristram, a noted authority on mediaeval wall paint- ings, who was on the staff of the Royal College of Art at the time it was in Arnbleside during the 1939-1945 war. Ile began painting the mural early in 1944 and com- pleted it in four months. It was unveiled by the Principal of the Royal College of Arts and dedicat- ed by the Bishop of Carlisle on July 20 of that year. The painting is 26 feet long and about 12 feet high, and has in it 62 almost life- sized figures, including. portraits of the Vicar (the Rev. H. A. Thompson) and Verger. It depicts scenes of the Rush bearing festi- val The work was carried out in powder colors, with an oil emul- sion, and is painted directly on the wall plaster, which was care- flzlly prepared with a gesso ground. The artist has been most success- ful in combiningaccuracy of de- tail and 'charming colors with a dignified treatment. His picture has been seen and admired by. thousands of people, and there is no doubt that interest in the cere- Why Early Varieties?. R . -One may have wondered why so" much stress is placed on early varieties in the Canadian seed cat- alogue. The answer is simple: be- cause our Canadian season is short. Once upon a time and not so long ago at that, there was mighty little in the way of flowers and vegetables that we could plant with any hope of success except in a few balmier spots in Canada. Garden corn and• tomatoes were out. So were cucumbers, melons,. peppers, squash. As for flowers our grandmothers hardly ever heard of petunias, chrysanthe- mums, zinnias, and all sorts of other things that we take for grant- ed today. These plants took too long to grow and develop in our comparatively short frost -free sea- son. So the' plant breeders got busy and started producing corn and tomatoes that would be ready for the table in 70 and 80 days in- stead of over a 100. And they bred flowers that would bloom in a mat- ter of a five or six weeks instead of two or three months. The faster they grew the farther north we could grow them, until now it is possible to have flourishing gar - dent right up to the Arctic Circle. But the farther we live north the more important it is to plant,quick- ly maturing varieties. a * * * For Convenience, a Kitchen Garden Even in grandfather's time when practically all the vegetables re- quired were home grown there was a special place near the back door which was known as the kitchen garden. Here were planted those vegetables which were needed fre- quently and in a hurry, while the big standard things like•potatoes, eorn, beets, turnips and such were, usually grown in a field farther away. Now in modern times with all sorts of shopping centres few peo- ple grow their main vegetable re- quirements, but, many of them are finding that the old kitchen gar- den idea is still as -useful as ever. It is much handier to be able to pull an onion or a few carrots or a head of lettuce whenever we take the notion, than to have to go away down to the' store. Even where space is., very lim- ited and we can only afford say a dozen feet or so each -way, it is amazing what a variety of vege- tables we can grow. A few rows of big yielding beans, a hill or two of • cucumbers, twenty feet or .so of carrots, and much less' than this of onions, lettuce, radish will give es many meals and salads with practically no .effort and of a qual- ity. which we simply cannot 'obtain in any other way. The kitchen gar- den too is a fine place for a few` of the old fashioned herbs, for a clump of parsley, chives and per- haps of rhubarb and it an ideal place, too, to grow a few rows of. special flowers for cutting or bou- quets. Many people make a practice'of growing all their sweet peas, glad- iolus and other flowers with showy blooms but not particularly attract tive foliage, in rows in 'the vege- table garden, where they can be cut more 'freely and will be hand- led more easily. It was said: "He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel...the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposi- tion, youth and age are equally a burden."—Plato.
