An Aber- and a large variety of other beautiful things whose names shall 

 deen shire not be catalogued here (and which indeed I have entirely for- 

 Garden gotten !). 



Double pink Convolvulus climbed the low wall of the 

 greenhouse, and in a chosen spot grew Wolferia (known only 

 in the mountains of Bulgaria). Then there was the large- 

 flowered yellow Anemone, seeding like globes of Dandelion. 

 As to this last, I am the happy possessor of one single plant, 

 which every year bears one yellow flower ! Outside the garden, 

 between green-velvet banks ran a little narrow stream ran so 

 gently and so clearly that the tall Irises and the Kalmia bosquets 

 were mirrored there; and near the streamlet, ordered clumps 

 of Begonia lay upon the grass, just beyond the edge of the 

 shadows of Beech and Copper-Beech. And so splendidly 

 brilliant and so well grown, although not over large, were these 

 Begonias that just for once one had to forgive them their 

 somewhat soulless presence.
