LET'S EAT Dips, Hors D'O To Serve Ai Pa

"What hors d'oeuvres would you suggest for parties?” is a question the Chef and I are often asked,

"It is smart to have several that are easy to prepare and two or three specialties.

"A choice of two or three dips with crisp potato chips or corn- meal crackers is quick and easy. Add plenty of vegetable nibblers. such as celery. finnocchino and carrot or rutabaga sticks. small flowerettes of cauliflower. rad- dishes. stalks of Belgian endive. HERB SALT V "Stand shakers of herb salt. such ' as dill or garlic, nearby for season-

ing. or use I Russian dressing - dunk,” i "For hot hors dloeuvrcs." said

the Chef. "tiny cheese biscuits right from the oven are good when split and put together with thin- slicetl smoked ham. They should be baked in relays.

"And for a surprise. Madame." he added. "I suggest Cocktail Ke- babs, my newest creation."

Cocktail Kebabs: Cut slices of choice Cheddar cheese and salami or balogna sausage into 1" squares. Pierce the meat squares with a skewer; cut tiny plugs out of the

This month of March is called by the poet "Slayer of winter, art thou here again?" and we are very sure. because this is the month when St. Patrick's day is celebrated and also the month of the Flower Show.

Several countries claim St. Pat- rick as a son. we read in a late magazine he is supposed to have been born in Scotland. in another- er we read that he was born in Wales but all are agreed that he was the patron Saint of Ireland, many. many years ago.

As gardeners we are interested in the sprig of Shamrock that is worn in memory of this worthy Saint. When some to whom he was preaching could not understand the doctrine of the Trinity, be bent down and picked some leaves of the shamrock that was growing at his feet "Look then at this wild flower. the seamrog (meaning three-leaved in Irish). Do you not see how. in this plant. three lea- ves are joined on one stalk and. sccing this. will you not then be- have what I tell you that there are indeed three persons and yet one God?”

But with the passage of time I complication has arisen over the different plants all with three len- ves on one stalk so that some .wear the wood sorrel and others wear different kinds of clover and two or three different species of trefoil. The study of various books both of gardening and folk- lore. have not solved the problem as to what is the true shamrock but as long as the spring season comes he will be rememberd. SPRING FLOWER SHOW

How lovely it must be for the fortunate folk who can attend a flower show in this last month of winter. just when we need a

glimpse of the spring beauty of flowers. When it is possible to walk into

Shows this month, the fragrance and the color of the flowers, the grace of the trees in full leaf. and the perfect order of the-gardens make a very welcome prelude to spring. No matter what the wea- ther outdoors. it is spring in full flower beyond the door. The glory. glamour and grandeur of the large American Flower Show.-i must be seen to be appreciated. Fortunate- ly for the gardeners who cannot attend there are many interesting. and beautifully illustrated stories about them.

It is estimated that there are twenty or thirty million gardening families in the United States and thousands and thousands attend the flower show nearest to them. indeed. many are fortunate enough to attend several shows. to see the newest flowers, how to design gardens and beautiful nr- rangements of flowers.

In seventeen large cities across the country doors will swing open to greet thousands of garden show visitors. Although flower shows are now commonplace throughout the year it is the spring spectacles which hold the greatest thrill and

xcitement. Perhaps it is because they offer a preview of this most wonderful season of the year-the time of growth and rebirth and of renewed hope in all things that

grow. WASHINGTON SHOW '

At the sixth national show in Washington, the theme will be in- ternational with embassy hostess- es of many countries featuring table settings. while small gardens will be planted with camellias. orchids. boxwood and rock plants

A central fountain with thous- ands of colored lights and streams of arching water will hold the at- iention of the visitors. In Cleve- land, a bit of old New Orleans. with a typical facade and its orna- mental lacy iron balcony with it gate opening to a patio garden filled with sub-tropical plants. will be the outstanding exhibit.
