5—' The Flower Border'
. F. W. Costin , N.D.H., F.R.H.S.
In May and June, when the summer flowers are approaching the height of their beauty, we have to consider and prepare our plans for the seasons that are to follow.
From now onward biennial flowering plants, which sown in one summer produce their blooms in the next, must be sown with discretion, for with these we have so to regulate the time that the plants will be ready-neither too leafy and soft, nor undergrown and weak -to plant out in late summer and stand the trial of winter.
Early summer, too, is the time to sow many of the perennial flowering plants ;
, these, established well before winter comes, will furnish the garden with flowers in many future seasons.

' Walking in the North Country '
D. G. BRIDSON
This evening the well-known Northern radio producer, D. G. Bridson , is to describe a walk he took across England, from West coast to East. He set out from Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast, making his way through the depressing mud-flats, passed through good farm lands to Strands, and along the shores of Wastwater. the finest of the English lakes. He will describe the fine view he had of the Screes, the only thing of their kind in the British Isles, and how he crossed Styhead Pass and by way of a line of peaks to Ambleside. Up the Kirkstone Pass, and away over the High Street range (old Roman way) down to Haweswater. Then the curious transition from lakeland hills to the Pennine foothills ... Keld, first out post of Yorkshire ... down Swaledale to Richmond ... and so to the plains of York.
The whole walk from coast to coast was done in ten days.
