Horticulture has had an important share in the national economy of the Netherlands for several centuries, and many of the latest developments are of interest to gardeners and horticulturists in this country. A world-famous centre for nursery stock is Boskoop, where the principal plants grown are conifers, ornamental shrubs, rhododendrons, azaleas, and rose trees.
Roy Hay visits the experimental station for woody nursery stock and is shown round by the Director and staff.

Part 7
It is now the end of February 1867. On board the Nautilus, the only submarine in the world, Aronnax, Elbow, and Ned Land have been Captain Nemo's prisoners for more than four months and in that time have travelled about 8,000 leagues under the sea.
Captain Nemo is becoming more and more melancholy and odd. Again and again they ask him why he and his crew live under the sea, but he will not tell them.
When in the Red Sea Nemo says they will be in the Mediterranean in a few hours. Aronnax replies that the Suez Canal won't be open for another two years. But Nemo invites Aronnax to watch him take the Nautilus through the tunnel he has discovered which leads direct into the Mediterranean : a tunnel under the desert!

The Church Army, founded in 1882 bv the late Prebendary Carlilc , has some 500 Captains and Sisters who are all working within the Church of England to help those in any kind of need. Old people are cared for in Church Army Homes or in small flats designed for their comfort. Another enterprise is the development of the Society's Youth Centres. These are but two examples of the varied work of compassion that is the fruit of the Church Army's practical Christianity.
