gree, after us into the town. We have them at our 

 doors; we contemplate them at our quietest win- 

 dows ; in some happier instances, they surround, on 

 all sides, our habitations, and make us almost forget 

 that we live 



In the dim and treeless town. 



With the theory or economy of gardening my 

 work has nothing to do. Its business is only with 

 those amenities of Nature which the Seasons present, 

 ready arrayed to our view. For this purpose I have 

 given, each month, under the head of " The Calen- 

 dar of the Flower Garden," a list of plants which 

 come into bloom in that month ; and as many plants 

 bloom more than one month, (some, many months,) 

 a figure at the end of the English name will denote 

 the latest month in which each particular plant is in 

 flower. This last will be found so copious, that there 

 are few gardens which contain the whole : but one 

 will possess some ; another, others ; and the Linnsean 

 class and order being given, many persons will be 

 able to form a more intimate acquaintance with the 

 ornaments of their gardens than they before had 

 done.
