£6,000 GIFT TO EX-ACTRESS:

SEARCH FOR BLUE ROSE,

THORNLESS PLANTS AND

MORE SCENT..

Three things occupying the attem- tion of rose growers at the present time are the search for the true In the King's Bench Division blue rose, the possibility of cul- before Mr. Justice Swift and ativating thornless roses; and the Special Jury, Mrs. Ella Wingfield, revial of the old English scent in of Conduit street, W., sued Mr.hybrid roses. Edvin Percy Harvey, of. Culmore Croft, Witley, Surrey, for £150 she alleged to be due to her as a quar- terly instalment of £600 a year which she claimed that Mr. Harvey agreed in August 1926 to pay her. Mr. Harvey alleged that the docu- ment was a forgery.

"Rose growers always have been and always be striving after the true blue rose," Mr. J. Fraser, an expert. told a reporter at the sum- mer show of the National Rose Society.

I must confess that I don't Serjeant Sullivan, K.C., stated think we shall ever get a true bluc that airs, Wingfield was formerly rose, because there is no blue in on the stage.

She thought he was dead, Neilchen Blauw and Baby Poura, two roses which are of violet and lilac shades

but had since discovered her error, It was admitted, Serjeant Sall van proceeded, that Mrs. Wingåeld then took up a discreditable modo of life and had been the proprie- tress of a house of resort in East Chapel-street, W. To that bouse weat Mr. Harvey, who was a mar- ried man who had quarrelled with his wife.

"Then we are trying to ravive the old English scent in rosen. Roses with delightful scent are not often beautiful in form and colour, The scented varietips are generally derived from the old-fashioned

Appar for he had a conscience of its ently we cannot have everything. He had a strange regard for con Either we get a wonderful scent but ventions of society, even with re- rather a poor bloom, or we get gård to his relations of an impro-magniñcent blooms and practically pe: character with women. He was keeping a woman at this house, and there he met Mrs. Wingfield. He told her if at any time she would consider him she could coin-- municate with him at his club. Later the police raided the house' and Mrs. Wingfield went to prison for three months.

When released she communicated with Mr. Harvey, who persuaded her to live with him and took her to a villa in France. He gave her £6,000 with which to form an inde- pendent source of income,

"Silver Wedding Prosent." In October 1923 Mr. Harvey's wife wrote to him. He had always represented her, said Serjeant Sullivan, as A creature with n frightful temper, who had driven him away. She asked him to r tura to her as a silver wedding present. Mrs. Wingfield told him he ought to go back to his wife, and he did so.

After that, continued Serjeant Sullivan, there ensued a correspon- dence between Mr. Harvey and Mrs. Wingfield that infringed the copy- right of a French farce. Mr. Harvey said he did not want to upset his wife as she had heart disease, and any rumour that he was returning to his mistress night cause her to drop dead.

"Ella One day he wrote: Darling, The explosion has just taken place. The old devil says she is going back to England to stop there to-morrow,

I only trust that the old devil will not think better of it."

Mr. Harvey was dreadfully afraid of scandal and he wanted to pre- pare Mrs. Wingfield for a final separation. He saggested leaving her £650 a year in his will, but later agreed to pay her £600 a year in quarterly instalments. He sign ed a bond to that effect in August 1996 and the document was witness- ed by a house-maid named Clars Barrington, who, it was admitted, did not see Mr. Harvey sign his

name.

Mr. Harvey paid the instalments until Mrs. Wingfield annoyed him by declaring that she was about to have a child, and then he discon tinued payments. He had now put up the defence that Mrs. Wingfield asked him to play a game" consisted in his signing his name. on a piece of paper. Around one of his signatures Mrs. Wingfield, he alleged, had framed the agree ment on which she now sued.

tha

Mrs. Wingfield, a middle-aged, well-dressed woman, gave evidence. She said that Mr. Harvey bought her a chalet in the south of France.

"Did Not Want To Die."

"He seemed to have no pluck to leave his wife," said Mrs. Wing- field, and said she would not divorce him and she did not seem to want to die."

After she (Mrs. Wingfield) had received some of the instalments she thought she was about to have a child and wrote to Mr. Harvey... After that payment was refused.

As for thornless roste, I cannot say whether we shall ever be able to grow all our roses without thorns. It certainly seems quité probable, and we have actually grown two roses named Zephyrine Droughin and Rosh Blade, which have no thorns Thorns are quite unneces sary for blooms grown in gardens, and are very destructive in windy

weather."

the elusive blue rose, said some Ooe exhibitor, questioned about growers were getting tired of ex- perimenting ia that direction.

They say people don't want à blue rose. Well, the public doesn't know what it wants till it sees it Roses are among the easiest of all flowers to grow. That is why amateurs love the rose show. They are able to do well in the co- petitions.

For some reason Civil servants are among those amateurs who grow the best roses. You will find that the majority of Civil servants are keen gardeners."

Mr. Arthur Hunt, solicitor, of Lincoln's In-felds, W.C., stated that he had examined the agree ment and was of opinion that the wording of the bond was not typed after Mr. Harvey's signature had been placed on the paper.

We moderna are too apt to anĕer at the medical and surgical treat- ment of the ancients.

Do

We imagine that, as the ancients had

powerful miscroscopes, X-rays apparatus, and so on, they were ignorant, and that their treat- ment was merely based upon super- stition. A lecturer can easily arouse the hilarity of his audience by tell- ing them that the doctors of the Dark Ages used toads for medicinal purposes. Actually the toad, though perhaps disgusting to most of us, produces two drugs of the very greatest curative value in the large oval glands behind the ears. contains a secretion equivalent to adrenalin, which is indispensable in some operations, and the other produces a substance equivalent to digitalis, which is irreplaceable in treating heart disease.
