HOW TO SEE ENGLISH GARDENS 351 



The ideal way to make an itinerary is to spend an evening 

 at a good library over the sumptuously illustrated books, e. g., 

 "The Gardens of England," "Some English Gardens," "The 

 Century Book of Gardening," etc. You have only to note 

 on separate slips the name of each country place that you want to 

 see. Everything else you can find out from the " Garden Annual," 

 viz., the county, locality, proprietor, and head gardener. On the 

 boat you can sort your slips, and write on them anything else you 

 desire. It is best to send fifty cents for the "Garden Annual," 

 three weeks or more before sailing so that you may have it on the 

 boat. 



In case you have time to write for permission to see a garden, 

 address the owner, not the head gardener. If there is not time, use 

 the telegraph (not the telephone) and prepay the reply.
