er. Mrs. Wink spoke on the many
gardens of interest which she saw
on her European tour in 1991. She
stated, that the things which most
impressed her about European
horticulture is that it still thrives
sftpt many hundreds of years of
constant cultivation and in spite of
the devastation caused by wars and
the opening of the .Holland dikes
during World War H.
The secret of the European suc-
cess is that they never take out
more than they put into their soil.
Barnyard fertilizer is highly prized
by all European gardeners.
