THE VOICE over the phone, asking inniimerable garden questions, was odd. Not European exactly. Certainly not Southern or

Eastern. Then came the question, “What about lupines? I never see them here and we had so many in England.” That’s how I began to get acquainted with Patricia Sterling, Mrs. Allen Sterling, English war-bride, now the mother of four sturdy little golden haired Americans. And that's how I became the questioner. Had she gardened much in England? Well, during the war she and her mother and brother had moved from London's bombs to a spot not far from Southampton. There they raised vegetables to eke out wartime rations.

Loved Sweet Peas AND sweet peas. Her mother always had to have sweet peas. Last summer, her mother wrote, they'd blossomed all summer long. What difference did Mrs. Sterling notice between English and American garden ways? Well, those peppers or mangoes they have in their second Hoosier garden, she'd not seen those in England. And there was another vegetable, the English called it a marrow. She'd never seen those: in gardens here, (We soon identified that one—it was zucchini or cocozelle, the vegetable marrows we usually call squashes.)

One way-—if we were lucky enough to have a bit of cold meat, we'd slice off the top lengthwise, scoop. out the seeds, mix up the

asked.

Granny: Bonnets MY THEORY of gardeninf being that you never can. tell until you try, I urged her by all ‘means to try some Ilupines. They will, if coaxed, grow in Indianapolis, though they find our hot Hoosier summers pretty discouraging. And they might “ just grow for a homesick English girl. So she already has her small plants started. “Then,” Mrs. Sterling continued, “could you tell me the name of another little flower— we always called it Granny bonnets—they look like daffodils with little cups but they come in so many colors.” Maybe some of our local English gardeners will recog - ‘nize that one—I didn’t. When she finds out what it is, doubtless ‘the ‘Sterling garden will raise Granny bonnets, too.

* Improve Home AT THE moment the Sterlings are tackling the double project of improving their “new” home, a comfortable old-fashioned house at 918 Marion Ave., and their yard which was “pretty awful” when they moved in. Almost one-half the yard is taken up by their big vegetable garden. Mrs. Sterling says “We had real good luck with it last year and ate off it all summer.” Pansies blooming beside the | back walk, plus a dozen carna- |

Here's a spray you should know about. It’s handled by Hoosier Gardener. It's called Clotracide. It's “the best rose spray made,” according to one practical gardener. You make up a solution, use it on delphiniums, phlox, and other plants as well as roses. It finishes off disease and insect pests (both sucking and chewing) in one operation. It's just one of the top-notch insecticides and fungicides you'll find at Hoosier Gardener's. Also at Hoosier Gardener's this week, potted tuberous begonias are ready. Take your garden prob-
