throwing away surplus plants and especially overgrowths from rock-beds where
constant cutting back of too luxuriant growths is absolutely essential.
Could we not, through your columns, be put in touch with associations or schools or;'bettet still, with individuals ifl poor parts of London, who would be glad to receive small parcels of suitable plants for their new gardens or window boxes ?
This would also help to create a sense of fellowship between country and town dwellers and foster the spirit of mutual understanding through the common interest in flowers.—I am,

[This is a delightful suggestion. Will readers who would be able to arrange for the distribution of " surplus plants " in the poorer districts of London and our large towns send ti ; their names ? Also may we appeal to owners of gardens who would be willing to do as the writer of this letter suggests ?—En. Spectator.]
