Ⓓ C. H. Middleton and F. H. Grisewood
Few of C. H. Middleton 's broadcasts are more popular than the ones he gives with F. H. Grisewood. Not only are they both experienced broadcasters and vivid personalities, but Grisewood, being an amateur gardener himself, is typical of all of us who work so hard and are so ambitious to have a wonderful garden, but so often fail to see our dreams come true.
Their discussion today will range far and wide : delphiniums and phloxes ; ealworms ; the difference between daffodils and ' narcissus ' ; gillyflowers ; the question of whether tulips should be lifted when they have done flowering or left in the ground ; the problem of cutting grass ; and .the best evergreen to grow to make a shelter against the wind. And if there is time, Grisewood will ask Middleton some questions about the vegetable garden.

Rimsky-Korsakov's ' Russian Easter Festival ' Overture is based on melodies of the Greek Orthodox Church. ' In it', explains the composer in his Memoirs, ' are combined reminiscences of the prophecy of Isaiah and of the Gospel narrative and also a general picture of the Easter service with its "pagan merrymaking". I) not the waving beards of the pries' and deacons, their white vestment and their singing in lively temp" carry the imagination back to pagan times ? And all these Easter loaves, these burning candles ... How far is all this from Christ's teaching ! This legendary and pagan side of the holiday, this transition from the gloomy and mysterious evening of Easter Saturday to the unbridled pagan-religious merrymaking on Easter Sunday morning, is what I wished to express in my Overture.'
