2 ” » AN ELDERLY professor we used to know, had a stock answer when asked how things were going with him. “Oh, they're trending, just trending.” So, with 1952's gardening season just ahead, let's examine the trend in gardening. The whole picture, as for several years now, leans more and more to simplicity and usefulness. Hard-to-get and highpriced help mean that Dad and Mom and the offspring do most of the work. So paved terraces replace bluegrass with its eternal mowing and fertilizing (so you can mow it oftener!) Fences grow away from the white picket, picturesque and always needing paint, to the rustic type, or stone or brick, (Naturally, it depends on whether the family castle is large or small.)

rather than the other way around, .

The trend’ in house plants is again toward usefulness. Instead of a few specimens weakly straggling through the winter, today's house plants become a real part of interior decoration.

The up-to-date home maker uses them for picture windows, for indoor window boxes (at the base of a big modern window they're really something), or sticks some of the bigleaved tropical plants in a dark corner where they can take the lack of sunshine and still decorate a difficult spot.

Another trend that may some day engulf the whole population (worse than the atom bomb) ‘is toward really big African violets. Watch for new introductions that may induce the most anti-violet to try their hand. But be warned. Once you try—you're lost. = ” » MOST OF US don't follow the traditional custom of waiting until Jan, 6th, Twelfth Night (twelfth after Christmas) to dismantle the Christmas tree.
