Sept. 12—We saw a very nicely laid out; garden on Hungjao Road today. The exterior of the residence is of Chinese-style architect ture and the building is set back a short distance on the South side of the road. A laurel hedge is planted along the short driveway together with many weeping willow trees. Young branches on these trees are hanging right down to the ground; we measured some twelve feet in length. There is a small corner garden on the East of the entrance gates with a clump of bamboo, a lilac or two and a few beds of zinnias. A Golden Labrador dog came out to see what we were doing: ti aristocrat of the "daggle" world was quite friendly as also were the pigeons which hovered around. Two black Labradors made plenty of noise however and we were breathing a little more easily when we arrived at an artistic bamboo gate set in the garden wall. As we opened this gate we were met by two more members of the canine family: two fine black Chow dogs were waiting fede; they decided to give us a friendly wel-cөre however. On our left we saw a group of bamboo, and eribotria and peach trees with a bed of chrysanthemums in front us was a small bed of roses and 1 the-valley while on the right, was lone pine. Artistically designed steps lead on to a grass terrace in front of the house: a euonymus hedge and a wall separating this from a higher stone terrace. We walked down the East side of the garden along a portulaca-covered crazy-paved pathway between groups of trees, to a creek. Magnolia, maple, pine and cherry trees with an occasional Japanese and "creeping" juniper, lilac and "snowball" tree are included in the groups and a bed of scarlet salvia was seen flowering well in partial shade. There are more groups of similar trees planted on mounds along the West boundary while in the centre of the lawn, on the slope leading to the creek, are two beds of cannas. We noticed a bird bath close to the creek being well patronized by our feathered friends. We crossed the creek by walking over a small bridge beneath two pterocarya trees: on the other side, a series of mounds have been arranged. There is no bamboo fence on the South side of the garden; a wire netting fence marks the Her Daddy Nurse: "You say your baby's name is Opium? What an odd name. You know opium is a product of the wild poppy, don't you?
Mandy: "Yassum, an' if dey eyah wuz a chile had a wild poppy, she's got one."
