December 3. These notes are written for those 

 who love gardens as I do, but not for those who have 

 a professional knowledge of the subject ; and they 

 are written in the hope that it may not be quite 

 impossible to convey to others some little of the 

 delight, which grows (more certainly than any bud 

 or flower) from the possession and management of 

 a garden. I cannot, of course, by any words of 

 mine, give the hot glow of colour from a bed of 

 scarlet Ranunculus with the sun full upon it, or 

 bring out the delicious scent of those double 

 Tuberoses, which did so well with me this autumn ;
