Janet - I am going to expire with curiosity before 2004 gets a grip on the
world! PLEASE - gi'us a clue!


The quiz is set by the RHS and is fairly difficult, I am not sure about
a couple of my answers and another two I don't know.

One question was:
The plant hunter, David Douglas, worked for the Horticultural Society,
(the forerunner of the RHS), in the 19th century and in 1834 lost his
life while plant hunting in the Sandwich Islands when he was
a) Eaten by a shark
b) Bitten by a snake
c) Gored by a bull
d) Attacked by killer bees


the other that I can't do was a picture of some fir cones and you had to
guess:

These cones are typically borne by:
a) Korean fir
b) Douglas fir
c) Serbian spruce
d) Corsican pine

I get the telegraph every day any way but it's all on the Daily
Telegraph web site and you can enter on line:

the page for the actual quiz is
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/promotion...l/content/prom
otions/2003/12/11/rhs_form.jhtml

BUT you have to register on the site before taking part.

However anyone can take part so why not have a go?

Google is wonderful for things like this:

try Google: David Douglas RHS , the fist result gives his life (& death)
history!




the other that I can't do was a picture of some fir cones and you had
to guess:

These cones are typically borne by:
a) Korean fir
b) Douglas fir
c) Serbian spruce
d) Corsican pine

ditto, Google: (plant name) Image search

for nice piccies of the cones of each!
