IT is extraordinary that none of your correspondents have exulted in your pages about the ravishingly lovely floral displays we have in the city this summer.

No doubt they are now busy making acidic crab apple jelly. When I pass one of them in the street I think of the RKO ‘B’ movie, I Walked with a Zombie.
