QUEEN'S CHOICE
We learn from a London journal that flowering climbers are to replace the ivy Queen Mary did not like when she visited the King George Memorial Garden at Stanmore. Touching it with her umbrella, she said, "If I had a pair of secateurs I would cut it down. If I come again next year and it is still there I will clip it off." Now- it has been decided to strip the ivy and replace it with climbing flowers, so that Queen Mary will not need to take her secateurs next xear.
