She could tell you how to cultivate clematis, where to get David Austin roses and how to exorcise aphids.

She knew a great deal about honeybees, silver poodles and Siamese cats. But she conceded that she was a little nonplused when a 6-year-old boy once asked: "Does it hurt the lettuce to eat it?" Ingram said hesitantly, no," thought a bit and then explained: "The lettuce wants to be a part of everything--of the whole world. When we eat the lettuce, it gets its wish." Ingram, who owned Sassafras Nursery in Topanga Canyon for nearly 20 years, died Saturday i in her Topanga home of a heart attack at the age of 81, said her friend and former employee Ronnie Corbett. The English-born Ingram, who founded the nursery in 1979 and operated it until its closure two years ago, became known for her advice and supplies for planting English-style gardens with a profusion of perennial plants and flowers. She had no problem getting plants better adapted to the wet and gloom of England to flourish in sunny, near-desert Southern California, and she assured customers they wouldn't either.

"It's just not true that clematis won't grow here," she told The Times in 1990, describing a flowering vine she had liked in Britain and successfully nurtured in To- panga Canyon to the height of a three-story building. "Each year we sell 300 to 400 clematis vines," she "and thousands of our customers are growing them, mainly due to our influence and education. Clematis can be grown successfully by novice and experienced gardeners alike." The vines "like their feet in the shade and their heads in the sun. They need good, fast-draining soil since they don't like to stand in soggy soil. Since the roots are tender, they do well with a good covering of mulch.

But the vines require some sun for flowering. "It's also a matter of common sense. If the garden is in a hotter environment, the vine will need more shade. And the vine needs more sun if the garden is heavily shaded." The point-by-point advice, with her folksy references to plants as if they were human beings, was typical of Ingram, who thoroughly enjoyed her pioneer efforts in the rustic canyon. She advised customers to try new plants and always to teach their children how to plant, grow and enjoy what they reaped, whether it was flowers or something edible.

"It's a natural thing to do," she told The Times in 1993, advocating family gardening. "On a fine spring morning, you want to go out. It's a question of nurturing." For parents who had no idea how their children would react, she assured them that youngsters loved planting seeds and watching for something to sprout. Hardy, fast-growing plants like sunflowers or peas were best, she always said, because "it's hard for children to wait." Ingram immigrated first to Chicago and then came to Los Angeles in the 1950s with her husband, whom she later divorced, and their two children. She was appalled, she told The Times in 1995, by "these cement sidewalks and hills with palm trees and the whole awful mess." So the family drove out to Topanga Canyon, which half a century ago had only a handful of residents, and soon settled there.

Initially, Ingram bred and sold silver poodles and Siamese cats. Later she became a beekeeper, and in 1979 her lifetime of growing things culminated in the founding of the nursery. Over the decades, Ingram endured Topanga's legendary fires, floods, mudslides and high winds. Once she had to fight a trespassing charge when surveyors determined that much of the nursery was located in the publicly owned Topanga State Park. "I no longer care about possessions because I have lost so many of them," she said in 1995.

But she also never considered moving or relocating her business. "You buy a piece of property and you don't know what is going to happen," she said. "It is like with a child. They fall down and hurt themselves and you fix it. You don't give the child up.

And once you've been somewhere so long, you become a part of it. I can't imagine living anywhere else." Ingram is survived by her son, David Alley, and daughter, Deborah Harper. George Duning; Prolific Film Composer George Duning, a prolific composer of music for television and motion pictures who was nominated for Academy Awards five times, has died at the age of 92. Duning, who scored such classic films as "From Here to Eternity" and "Picnic," died Sunday at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego of cardiovascular disease. The former jazz trumpeter was nominated for Oscars for those two films in 1953 and 1955, respectively.

He also was nominated for "Jolson Sings Again" in 1949, two years after he began his contract with Columbia Pictures; for "No Sad Songs for Me" in 1950; and for "The Eddy Duchin Story" in 1956. During his 15 years with Columbia, Duning composed music for about half a dozen motion pictures a year. Among them were "Let No Man Write My Epitaph," "My Sister Eileen," "3:10 to Yuma," "Houseboat," "'That Touch of Mink" and "Bell, Book and Candle." Duning also composed extensively for television series, including "'The Big Valley," "AlcoaGoodyear City Theatre," "Naked City" and "Star Trek." He wound up his long career as musical director of Aaron Spelling Productions. Top-quality music in movies and By MYRNA OLIVER TIMES STAFF WRITER television shows, he often said, helped upgrade the public's taste in music. And he made no secret of his disdain for the rock 'n' roll that emerged during his most productive years.

"Rock 'n' roll is a phonied-up, made-to-order fad," Duning told The Times in a 1960 interview. "And disc jockeys do a disservice to the kids by playing it." He admitted at the time that his own teenage daughters played rock 'n' roll records in his home. But he said his hopes that their tastes would change were raised when one daughter heard Duke Ellington on the radio, thought he was a new musician and rated him "great." If Elvis Presley had never earned Duning's musical appreciation, Ellington always did. Duning's own career began with jazz. Born in Richmond, a center for early jazz recording, Duning grew up hearing music.

His father was a conductor and sang in oratorios, and his mother gave organ and piano lessons. He studied music theory at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and studied composition with Mario CastelnuovoTedesco. Duning started his own band at age 15, and after college joined various jazz bands as a trumpeter. He also played with marching bands and concert bands. In the 1930s, Duning got his ini- Harold M.

Mulvey; Judge in Black Panther Trials Harold M. Mulvey, 86, a Connecticut judge who presided over the murder trials of Black Panthers in the 1970s. After a jury deadlocked on a verdict, Mulvey dismissed murder and kidnapping charges against national Black Panther leader Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins, a leader of the group's Connecticut chapter. They had been charged in connection with the torture and killing of Alex Rackley, a member of the New York chapter of the Black Panthers, who was suspected of being a police informant. In freeing the pair, Mulvey noted that it had taken four months to pick the jury that remained hopelessly deadlocked and said: "I find it impossible to believe that an unbiased jury could be selected without superhuman efforts -efforts which this court, the state and these defendants should not be called upon to make or to endure." He also noted that the defendants had spent two years in jail from the time of their arrest until the jury came back without agreement.

Born in New Haven, Mulvey graduated from Fordham University Law School and commanded a Navy landing craft in the Pacific during World War II. In the 1960s, he won appointment to the state attorney general's office but eventually left that post to become a Superior Court judge. On Sunday at a nursing home in Hamden, Conn. Aubrey E. Robinson District of Columbia Judge Aubrey E.

Robinson 77, a Court for the District of Columbia sentenced Jonathan Jay Pollard to spying for Israel. A stickler for reputation for fairness, independence and a no-nonsense approach to the law. "There are no games to be played," he told the Washington Post when he became chief judge in 1982. This is a place where people expect to get their legal problems resolved and we're the ones to do it." Robinson, a Madison, N.J., native and a World War II Army veteran, received undergraduate and law degrees at Cornell University. He was appointed to the bench of the old District of Columbia Juvenile Court in 1965 and elevated to the U.S.

District Court the following year. Robinson became chief judge in 1982, the second African American to hold that position.

Gil pioneered late night television in 1962 with his midnight to dawn talk show the "All Night He'd interview some big but many local celebrities.
