During oral examinations pupila are frequently asked to recite some poem that they know. Very often they forget their lines and become exasperated that they give vent to a few lines of their own. One such was the pupil who reciled:-

"Few are thy days and full of woe,

O man of women born:

"I wish I were a tile stano

One other important point. Though the Gladiolus will give a good account of itself wherever the garden is situated, in town or country, it' objects to shady spots and cold winds. There- fore, give it a place where it can sun bathe and a sheltered spot where, in its youth, its health is not likely to be jeopardised,

There are really three main classes of Gladioli, the large flowered, the Primalinus and the Lacinatus. They are the varie- ties which have their petals frilled or fringed and are most attractive. Three sorts which appeal to me are Inspiration, this is a pastel shade of pink and has a gold throat: Captain Kidd, a distinct dark crimson; and Fluffy Ruffles, a clear light yellow.

"

I have a special affection for the Primulinus varieties. They are a beautiful race of Gladioli, with their quaintly-hooded florets. I believe their native haunts are the banks of the Zambesi river, where they thrive In the spray of the Victoria Falls, That probably accounts for their little hoods which pro- tect the pollen from the spray.
