GARDENER FOR PRIME MINISTERS QUITS POST, Forty Years of Bervice at 10 Downing Steet Ter- minated. LONDON (#).—After 40 years’ gar- dening for prime ministers of England, Harry Simpson, the official gardener of No. 10 Downing street, has raked his last leaf. Forty years ago Simpson went to work in St. James' Park, but was soon transferred to Downing street, where No. 10 and No. 11, the latter being the home of the chancellor of the ex- chequer, were placed under his care. He has worked under every premier since Gladstone and has kept faith with the traditional silence that has marked the important little street since its use by ministers. Even on his last day of work he answered an energetic “no” to all questions. “I will not tell you anything,” he de- clared, turning abruptly to rake the premier’s lawn for the last time before retirement.
