came to england shortly before the restoration samuel pepys drank his first cup on september 28 1660 though kis good wife did not get hers till seven years later and then only on the advice of mr pelling the potticary to cure her cold in 1657 tea had sold at six guineas a pound but when mr gar- way published his historic advertisement in 1658 he was already offering it at 50s and even a cheap quality at 15s he chiefly recommended it because it overcometh superfluous sleep and is of great avail to men of corpulent bodies and to such as eat much flesh many did not understand what it was for

recent ly when they stepped out of their motor car and started to walk along the promenade clad in the latest holly wood trousers for 20 minutes they braved a fol lowing crowd once they were in dan ger of being arrested for causing an obstruction they were screeched at by an old woman in a bonnet and shawl and anally denounced in bibli cal terms by a man carrying a text- banner in the gutter in the end they gave up in despair jumped into their motor car and drove away the scene provided fantastic amuse ment for hundreds of the tens of thousands of people who had flocked into brighton laughter then abuse the trousered women arrived just when thousands of people were taking a midday siesta and others were sun bathing they drove up to the child rens boating pool lit cigarettes and stepped nonchalantly on to the prom enade they then started to saunter in the direction of the palace pier one of the young women wore a smart kingfisherblue suit her com panion was in a brown suit with a thin white strpe they had only walked a few steps when the crowd began gather at first there was laughter and whispered comments then as the crowds grew came abuse and ironic comments disgraceful a woman in a bonnet and shawl who was being wheeled along in a bathchair raised her hands and gasped disgraceful you aro a shame to your sex the young women were alarmed at the unwelcome attentions they were drawing and did thei- best to get away from the crowd they were in danger of causing an obstruction and decided to make for the safety of their motor car and on their way back they had to pass the man crying the scriptures he cast one eye at them and gave tongue for the next few moments never again it was with difliculty that they reached their motor car and drove away declaring we shall never at tempt it again the earlier trees shrubs rose bushes climbers and such things are planted the better this also applies to herbaceous perennials just as soon as one can dig the soil is the best time to get these things in as there is then plenty of moisture in the ground and in this plentiful supply of moisture is the secret of successful transplanting spread roots out well and cover firmly with fine soil a lit tle commercial fertilizer dissolved in wate will greatly help at this time improved flowers in recent years therj has been a great deal of improvement i- flowers some of the old common things not much appreciated in the old gardens have been glorified and brought right up to the modern standard of large delicate blooms of brilliant hue there is now a magnificent single aster which many people prefer to the older type while the new petunias zinnias scabiosis calenlulus marigolds cos mos and pansies are almost like dif ferent flowers from the sort many peo ple were familiar with years ago one would be well advised to give some of these a trial as they offer a really wonderful range of color with annuals alone wonderful results can be achieved with annuals alone which is a boon to the person who expects to move in the near future borders of mixed annual flowers arranged in clumps of one color with the taller sorts generally towards the rear are very attactive and from the latter part of july are really more colorful than a hed of perennials for solid beds such as petunias zinnias gladiolus portu- laca dahlias calliopsis and nastur tiums may be used hedges upright screens or backgrounds can be created by the use of the taller growing an nuals such as the cosmos four oclock marigolds mexican sunflow ers castor beans and similar high busily plants for climbersthere are hops trailing nasturtiums sweel peas scarlet kunner beans and sev eral other things which shoot ahead and soon make a splendid screen abundance of vegetables the average canadian does not real ize the really wonderful variety in vegetables which this climate allows as a matter of fact with a little plan ning the utilization of early medium and late varieties and above all sue- cessional plantings that is a portion of the seed planted at intervals of ten days or two weeks instead of all sown at once it s quite possible to have a supply of salad material and more sub stantial vegetables coming on all sum mer and fall and of having these things at the height of their freshness too for instance one should not confine himself simply to a short row of let tuce this must be eateu while it is young and tender the crop can be strung out over the whole season it there are say three plantings each of three different types there will be the leaf lettuce first then the head and later on during the hot weather the cos which comes up to a conical head and is practically self bleaching one can supplement salad material with cress it grows quickly on any land and comes on early green onions sown at tenday intervals until the first of july so that they will be ready in succession endives and mustard by using three types of spinach the season for this crop is lengthened by several weeks include in the cab bage group both the red and white and also cauliflower brussels sprouts and broccoli using an early medium and late pea feasts of this one of the
