History and Horticulture
\WHEN T. D. Lennie retired from the 3YA Garden Session two years ago he did not give up his interest in either horticulture or broadcasting, and listeners who tune to this station at 7.15 p.m. on Tuesday, June 22, will hear the first of two talks by him on The Origin of the Plant Species. "I am _ convinced," says Mr. Lennie, "that many people will welcome information. regarding the origin of our present-day plants and trees, and with that idea in mind have dug into the past to learn something of plant history. It has turned out a very fascinating experience." Mr. Lennie starts by pointing out that records go back to about 4000 B.C. The Eastern Mediterranean, he says, was undoubtedly the world’s centre in those early daysafter the Flood it became the nursery of ‘many of our present-day fruits. Among these the grape, the fig and the apricot were of great commercial importance. Mr. Lennie goes on to discuss the distribution of these and other species. The second of these two talks will be broadcast on June 29.
