PREFACE 



THIS little volume may be considered a sequel 

 to my former book, " In a Gloucestershire 

 Garden." All the chapters in it have already 

 appeared as occasional papers in the Guardian, 

 Pilot, and Gardeners Magazine, and I have to 

 thank the proprietors of those papers for their 

 courteous permission to publish the papers in 

 book-form.
