valuable than gold


Amber… more


THE demands for origi- nal amber jewellery is so high today that it can now fetch a higher price than gold.


Only this week at Ply- mouth Auction Rooms a very plain bead neck- lace weighing 76 grammes sold for an amazing £2,200. The same weight in 22 carat gold has a current value of just £1,900.


Gram per gram it is more valuable than gold! The reason for this huge increase in price, is China. The Chinese have rediscovered am- ber, a material deeply ingrained in Chinese culture.


If you have some am-


ber, now is the time to have it valued before the ‘bubble’ bursts. Contact Plymouth Auction Rooms for a professional valuation, 01752 254740.

What to do this week...


n Keep new plants well-wa- tered in dry spells to keep them strong and make them less


susceptible to disease. n Mow the lawn once a week


if it’s growing, but in spells of hot, dry weather keep the blades high and leave clippings


on the lawn to retain moisture. n Prune early-flowering shrubs such as Kerria japonica and Spiraea Arguta, which fin- ish flowering on wood that was


produced the previous year. n Keep on top of weeding and pay particular attention to pernicious weeds such as


bindweed and ground elder. n Prune pyracanthas that are trained against a wall, cutting out shoots growing directly into or away from it. Shorten the others to about 8cm, which en- courages the formation of short spurs that bear the flower buds


and berries in autumn. n Prune Clematis montana


once flowering is over. n Snap off spent tulip heads, but leave the foliage intact for about six weeks, which will en- able plants to redirect their en-


ergy back into the bulb. n Plant out marrows and courgettes when all danger of


frost has passed. n Remove runners from strawberries to preserve the


plant’s energy. n Pinch out the tips of broad beans when they flower to dis- courage blackfly.


EVENING primrose need a sunny, well-drained spot


Magnet for bees and butterflies


THE scented, deep yellow pa- pery flowers of the evening primrose (Oenothera) open at dusk and are pollinated by night-flying insects.


Each flower may last only a


day, but many more are pro- duced all summer long. They make neat plants that can be used as fillers in most


borders, gravel beds or herb gardens and are a magnet for butterflies and bees. They need a sunny, well- drained spot to thrive and the flowers don’t always open in the evening but often during the day. Good varieties include O. fruitcosa Fireworks and O. glauca Erica Robin.


Add some colour to your salads


FIERY radishes, a colourful additions to summer salads, are among the easiest veg to grow and ma- ture very quickly. For a prolonged supply use Mixed Radish seed, which includes varieties that mature at different rates.


Sow them as catch crops or in any odd patch, digging compost into the soil and raking to a fine tilth before sowing thinly in trenches about 1cm deep. You shouldn’t need to thin summer varieties unless they are very overcrowded. Quick and un- interrupted growth is essential for good results, so hoe between emerging plants and water when the weather is dry. Harvest summer varieties when they are about 2.5cm across because if you leave them too long they’ll become woody.


RAD|SHES are among the easiest veg to grow

Novel crocodile hat… but where could you wear it?


THE DAY of the post- card is slowly disap- pearing, which is a shame, as a collection of postcards depicting scenes from the coast- line at Hope Cove, Hall- sands and the South Hams remind us how so different it was in those days.


These collections are now making serious money and there are over a hundred cards sent for sale.


Not just pictures are framed nowadays but sets of cigarette cards and a collection of 120 Service cap badges is an excellent method of showing them off.


A copper Newlyn plaque 11 inches in di- ameter with a typical fish decoration should prove popular but the African shield some- how has managed to find its way back to Plymouth. It looks as if it might have been of some use in the past.


A pair of Stafford- shire Zebras has that African connection. A Crocodile Dundee style hat made of crocodile, of course, is a novelty but finding the right time to use it might be more difficult as in the high street would defi- nitely look out of place.


Oriental dagger with tortoiseshell sheath, bayonets, ice picks,


marbles, Triangle train set and horses Hemes shows the variety of lots on offer.


Large sets of chairs are not common and therefore a set of 8 Re- gency dining chairs in mahogany and rope decorated centre bar could prove a winner. In fact from the same property a matching mahogany sofa has
