Preface 



each month. In preparing the volume, an endeavour 

 has been made to include information that is 

 known to be of use and interest to amateur 

 gardeners. It has proved impossible to describe 

 in detail the hundred and one minor tasks which 

 arise as the gardening seasons pass, yet the con- 

 solation remains that reference to much that is 

 obvious and of comparatively little value has been 

 avoided. 



Some of the notes contained in the following 

 pages have appeared in the Morning Post during 

 the last year or two, and my acknowledgments 

 are due to the Editor, Mr. H. A. Gwynne, for per- 

 mission to make use of them here.
