Travel Talk
' Middle Europe'
5—' The Black Forest'
VINCENT ALFORD
In this beautiful corner of south-west Germany, an ancient land of rolling pine-forests clothing the tops of high mountains, the life of the people depends almost entirely on wood. Away from the holiday resorts miles of forest paths wind their way in the darkness where the only sound is the ring of the wood-cutter's axe and the song of the saw.
This talk on the Black Forest will be illustrated hy. sounds of felling timber which were recorded in Germany specially for school broadcasting.

Lilies are always lovely in a garden, but it is not generally known how many different kinds can be grown. Most old gardens, and many cottage gardens, have a clump or two of the white Madonna lily (lilium candidum), which has been grown in England for three centuries. So, too, has the Turk's cap, or scarlet chalcedonicum, but it is not seen as often. The orange lily (croccum) is commoner. But just as easily grown is the magnificent and highly-scented sacred lily of Japan (lilium auratum). All these, and the Martagon lilies and the regal lilies may be grown out-of-doors. And tonight Mr. C. H. Middleton is to bring Mr. T. Hay, of the Royal Parks, to the microphone to tell listeners all about the cultivation of these lilies that may be planted now, or as soon as the bulbs reach England.

The greatest personality cricket has ever known is the subject of this evening's talk. William Gilbert Grace was born in Gloucestershire in 1848, and for over thirty years dominated the realm of cricket. On seven occasions he knocked up over 1,000 runs and took 100 wickets in the same season ; and his skill as a fieldsman was no less remarkable. ' W. G. ' in his own lifetime became a legend and a romance.
