A lO»day tour of England preceded the official visit. and the travellers marvelled at the precision of the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. the history of Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral and the many other sites along the way. But the highlight was the warmth extended to their guests by members of the British Women‘s Institutes. The visit to North Wales, however. was the result of an official invitation to the Guelph Area to come as the guests of the Wl of Clwyd-Flint. Met on the outskirts of the town of Clwyd. the party was escorted to LLn‘ynegrin Hall in Mold for the official welcome by the federation's tain vigor. Herbs are frequently grown {mm seeds planted indoors in a sterile sou mix approximately one-quarter inch deep. The seeds many remain exposed to the air or covered with a thin layer of sand. They should be watered with a fine mist and the container would be covered with newspaper, glass‘ plastic or damp burlap to prgvem them from rapidly drying cur, Mm will germinate best at 70 degrees F. (2| degrees C.) or warmer. The germina. tion of many of these seeds is slow and erratic. Many herbs, such as mint. rose, mary, thyme, sage and tarragon. are grown from rooted Cuttings, and mints and chives are grown from divisions of existing plants Cutting; or divisions can be taken in late sum- mer or early fall and then grown on.
