Tbe Rescue of an Old Place 



New EHS~ If, with its ungrateful soil and torment- 

 ing climate, New England cannot rival 



^^ Old England in the gay surroundings of 

 its cottage doors, the same love of flowers 

 is there, finding such expression as it may, 

 under the cruel conditions of a sterile 

 earth, and burning summer heats and dry- 

 ness, alternated with sharp east winds, 

 which make a labor as well as a pleasure 

 of a garden.
