My New Zealand Garden 



and the next year I determined to give it a better 

 bed. Afraid to disturb its precious roots, I dug a 

 ditch all round its former bed, and filled it with 

 choice soil, leaving an inpenetrable wall between 

 the old bed and the new ; but what with the effort 

 of flowering and trying to pierce the wall with its 

 roots, it gave up the ghost. But more about these 

 beautiful trees anon.
