'The Channel Islands'
JOHN MORGAN
The Channel Islands are as favoured by their climate as their people are industrious. In the summer, tomatoes are a field-crop in Jersey, and in both Jersey and Guernsey grapes and peaches ripen in greenhouses without heat, and figs grow out of doors. As summer glides towards autumn, blackberries the size of mulberries are gathered.
In the winter snow and frost are rare, and spring's earliest touches come to the islands that are as famous for their early spring flowers and potatoes and other vegetables as for their delightful sands and sea.
This evening John Morgan , who has been over there on a visit, is to give an eye-witness account of the season's horticultural and farming preparations now in full swing on this fruitful soil.
