I am stuck on one (assuming that I have the other ones right!). 16d -R-E-E-Y (8 letters). Now a rare term for a place where plants are reared, kept or exhibited. GREENERY is the only word that seems to fit.

You're right - OED (Online) has -

greenery - ... A place where plants are reared, kept, or exhibited.

Thank you again Lie-in King. You seem to get everyone on the right path. I do this crossword for fun and I cannot remember the last time that I sent a completed grid to the Scotsman.

Happy to help :-)

It's not a paper (magazine?) I've ever seen, but it seems quite popular on here!

I hope you finish, enter & win! :-)
You must have something wrong as the answer is orangery.

Thank you Tinkerpuss for your "ORANGERY" posted at 22:49 on 11 April. I thought of Orangery at one time but it would make a large part of my answers wrong. I am not conceited, it is just that they are in Chambers or Britannica, in the main.
Perhaps you have seen Lie-in King's answer which was posted at 21:27 on Saturday, where he gives the answer as "GREENERY". Usually the clue is taken from Chambers if it is a dictionary definition. I cannot get the free OED Online dictionary but I have a Chambers at home!
