C. H. MIDDLETON
The time for the pruning of roses is at hand, and soon with secateurs or knife the gardener will be going out among his standards or bush roses to do all the right things-or all the wrong ones.
On pruning everything depends.
The old hand knows just what to do. How easy it looks ! But it is not for nothing he cuts back that shoot with the bud facing outwards. There is reason for hard pruning this particular rose, and for going gently with that one.
This evening Mr. C. H. Middleton will be alone at the microphone, and he will not only pive invaluable advice on the pruning of roses, but he will take the opportunity to answer a few queries. Mr. Middleton welcomes questions.

Fantasy-Overture, September Night
Eric Fogg
(Conducted by THE COMPOSER)
Eric Fogg began his musical life as a chorister at Manchester Cathedral, where he remained until 1917, his fifteenth year. He then became organist of St. John's Church. He first studied under his father and then uader Sir Granville Bantock.
One of Mr. Fogg's most important works is a Bassoon Concerto in D, which was first performed at a Promenade concert in 1931. His latest orchestral work, Fantasy-Overture, ' September Night', finished at the beginning of last year, is, as its title implies, a piece of musical phantasy illustrating no particular programme other than the feelings and emotions evoked by the ' atmosphere ' of an autumnal night. It is a charming little tone poem, neat in design and delicate in colouring.
