ST. MARTIN.

St. Martin's summer, which dates symbolically from Armistice Day, will be adorned with more flowers than in any year within recent memory. Among the many surprising blooms none is more astonishing than the honeysuckle, now flowering freely on, at any rate, one Hertfordshire common. Its opposite number in a neighbouring garden is a eeanothuS -or two, blooming freely away from any- all or other protection.
