Some Happy Thought Garden Thoughts 
T HERE’S a delightful zest in trying new things; or better yet 
trying old things in a new way. Just now the members of 
the gardening clubs are hob-nobbing about rock gardens. 
Erom the way we are being sought and besought for informa- 
tion about how to construct them; and the plants to plant in them, 
it’s evident that rock gardens are gleefully coming into their own. 
But quite the happiest thing of all is the celebrating ot Shakes- 
peare’s tercentenary by having a garden of Shakespeare’s flowers; 
even to rosemary, wild thyme and cuckoo buds.
