INTRODUCTION 



the incidents of childhood may rotate with the sea- 

 sons in their varied expressions. 



Yes, a garden is intimate and it makes all of us 

 intimate. But just a word more. 



The Lady of the Garden is not only a writer, 

 mother, a gardener in the usual sense, but with Mr. 

 Fullerton and the children, a pioneering farmer. 



As editor of The Agronomist, as author of "Lure 

 of the Land" and other books and as contributor 

 to Garden Magazine, Country Life, and the Coun- 

 try Gentleman; as a worker in the field of children's 

 gardens and gardens for the rich, for the poor 

 for all Mrs. Fullerton has made a contribution 

 to out-door life second to no woman in America.
