A JPoman’s Workshop
"ALL THE LOVELINESS OF SPRING”
At this season of the year no town is prettier than our own Exeter.
The cool, damp weather seems to have agreed with the early blooming
perennials. Lilacs have been particularly good. The old-fashioned,, pale
blooms are pretty well -dene, but the lacy white ones are still fresh. On
my desk I have a bowl of the very massive doubly white kind, each flowret
with ten petals. I notice here and there a bush of extremely deep purple
•blossoms and at the back of Mr. Ward’s garden one of a slightly palei'
hue. There is also the beautiful pinky-mauve variety, the blossoms born
on slender, drooping stems. You would be well repaid for a visit to Mr.
Roy Blatchford’s garden, where the tulips and iris stand in glowing masses,
set about with borders of forget-me-nots and paths ot close-trimmed
'*rass, A rare shrub now in bloom is the rose-thorn, a specimen of
which is to be seen along the fence behind the water-tower.. It is too
crowded there to have attained proper proportions, but given a chance,
it grows into a sturdy tree, lovely at any time, but when covered with
tight-curled, rosy blooms it is like a fairy’s dream. The single English
ipeony with its lacy foliage is very striking and not too common. There
are a few specimens of the so-called Christmas rose m this town—the
one in our garden is putting up fresh leaves. We had flowers from it
all through the winter from October to May.If you have any specially beautiful flowers, won’t you let us know
about them?
The year ahead—
What will it bring?
At least we may be sure of spring.
.What will they hold—the coming hours?
At least we may be sure of flowers,
Blossoms and birds and budding trees;
Thank God, we may be sure of these.

Since sugar
rationing was first PER WEEK
We know so little of the value of
natural foods, growing wild about
our feet, that it has been said that
we could starve in the midst of
plenty. Long before the gardens
begin to produce their earliest
vegetables, Nature has her spring
tonic foods all ready. The first of
these is the dandelion, eaten in
salad or cooked, then the marsh
marigold, good as any spinach. Then
comes milkweed. Cut the young
sprouts when well above the ground
and use like asparagus; young
sprouts of the brakes found in
sandy shore locations are also used
this way. Wild mint we are all ac
quainted with. Wild mustard,
picked when young and tender, is
delicious in salads. Pigweed and
lamb’s quarters are both good when
cooked and served with a bit of
bacon. Morrels, mushrooms and
puffballs coime in their turn. The
point to be remembered in cooking
is to use so little water that none
is drained off, causing a loss
vitamin content.. ffi '
INDIA—A REAL PROBLEM
CHILD
Of
of
Represented in the person of Mrs.
Elizageth Brown, the Canadian
Housewives’ Consumer Association
has made its voice heard at Ottawa.
In her interview with members of
the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board she laid open many of the
problems that confront the spend
ers of the family budget. Anxious
to cooperate with the government
in its efforts to control inflation,
Canadian women of low-bracket in
comes, are finding it difficult to
make ends meet, since many low-
price commodities have disappear
ed from the market. Among these
are cheaper cuts of meat, cheaper
grades of coffee and tea and, low-
cost garments for working use. She
advocated the
eeries in bulk,
packaging, and
would welcome
ing in preference to the» present sys
tem where the conscientious buyers
must suffer at the hands of those
who selfishly take all they can get.
Most of us will endorse all she had
to say and we think that the of
ficials at Ottawa should greatly
benefit by this' contact with those
who hold up the practical end of
price control.
