Such a would not of necessity mean celebration each year but simply a designated time when those return ing would reasonably be assured of renewing old acquaintances. home thus many Week a big HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY PREMIUM LIST 'The Exeter Horticultural Society premium list for 193 8 appears else where in this issue, and we think is exceptional value and suggest you check it over on your retail catalo gue and see if you can duplicate it foi* twice the money.
