LIGHTING OF THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW For some time efforts to improve the lighting had been frustrated by inability to find an electrical contractor to do the work. So a different "tack" was taken! Guess what! Hidden talent was discovered right here in the library - Paul Windsor-Martin, our Head of Maintenance Services, has designed a system to provide much greater lighting for our window. It really is a big improvement and enables us all to appreciate this "treasure" more in its new location. Our thanks and "hats off' to Paul.

March is seventeen, though by no means always sweet; April is eighteen; May is nineteen; June is twenty to twenty-five; and then July leaps to thirty and thirty-five; and then August from forty to fifty; September to a mature, mellow sixty. October to an even mellower, yellower seventy; and then comes the leafless calm of the descending year. Still, one must be practical, thinking of summer, if one is to fill up the gaps in one's garden, and I have been forcing myself to think about it in terms of the Hemerocallis or daylily. This used to be regarded as a common old plant, almost a weed, when we grew the type which spread everywhere and was only a pale orange thing, not worth having. Now there are many fine hybrids, which may come as a revelation to those who have not yet seen them. They will grow either in sun or shade. They will grow in damp soil, even by the waterside if you are so fortunate as to have a stream or pond in your garden, when their trumpets of amber, apricot, orange, ruddle, and Venetian red will double themselves in reflection in the water. They will grow equally well in an ordinary bed or border. They are, in fact, extremely obliging plants, thriving almost anywhere. They are especially useful for the summer garden, flowering as they do from July into September. Mostly in June and August. .../3
