The greatest cost saver in the garden is propagating one's own plants. Rooting cuttings is the simplest way of doing this, taking soft, half ripe and hard wood from perennial plants and even rooting cuttings from the leaves.

When The City Smiles ...
When the City smiles, can we smile too? Most people have savings in the City - in insurance companies, pension funds, or as small investors in the Stock Exchange. Over the last few years because of inflation our savings have fallen in value. So, does the City's new confidence mean better times around the corner?

Every five minutes of every day, someone somewhere in Britain takes an overdose of drugs. While our suicide rate is among the lowest in the world and falling, our overdose rate is among the highest and rising by ten per cent each year, especially among teenage girls. Psychiatrists call these unhappy people 'parasuicides'; hospital doctors call overdosing a 'national epidemic'.
Anne is 18; an alcoholic; living in London; she has taken a dozen overdoses. Why? Did she really want to kill herself? She says: 'It's mainly for help'. How likely is she to do it again? Horizon looks at those who are making this cry for help and those who are trying to answer it. Overdosing is a sad by-product of modern living; it is also a practical economic burden costing the NHS £5 million a year. Overdosers already occupy one emergency bed in every five; if things go on as they are, by 1984 they will occupy them all.

Robert Robinson introduces the new series with a profile of Richard Adams
1 For a man who has been in the office at ten o'clock with a clean collar for 25 years, this is a wonderful life.'
RICHARD ADAMS was 54 when his first book, Watership Down, made him world famous. The rabbit saga, first told as a story to his children, has now sold five million copies. Adams's second novel, Shardik, was another best-seller and now his third, The Plague Dogs, is just out.
ROBERT ROBINSON visited Adams on the Isle of Man, where he now lives, to talk to him about fame and fortune and about work in progress, which includes a new departure - an erotic novel.
