NOTE. Miss Una Silberrad has had exceptional facilities for studying life in the 

 Bulb Fields in and around Haarlem, which has been the centre of the industry ever 

 since its first introduction, and here sets down for us the quaint customs of the growers, 

 and their manner of life. Miss Sophie Lyall treats of the Hyacinth ; her chief authority 

 being St. Simon, a learned Frenchman of the eighteenth century. Garden-lovers will 

 appreciate his enthusiasm, and the loving exactness with which he describes the life of 

 the plant, its treatment, and the environment best suited to its needs. 



"Over the pictures in this book it is difficult not to wax enthusiastic, for they are 

 veritable triumphs of colour-printing." Globe. 



"Her pictures as a whole are as successful as the subject and the letterpress in 

 helping to endow this volume with a unique charm which no flower- or garden-lover can 

 fail to appreciate." World.

FROM THE AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION TO THIS EDITION. "What!" said Lamia 

 "Another Illustrated Edition ! " 



" I believe so," I replied, trying to look as meek as I could, but betraying, I fear, 

 that special kind of hesitation which proceeds less from conscious guilt than from 

 embarrassment. 



" Have you consulted Veronica ? " she asked. " If you have, I am sure she must have 

 informed you 'The Garden that I Love' will soon be as hard to put up with as the 

 Fiscal Question." 



Despite the opinions of Lamia and Veronica the publishers believe that this edition 

 will be welcomed by many who have read the book with pleasure, but have never had 

 an opportunity of seeing the beauty of the Garden itself. 



"The illustrations are worthy of the book, which is one of the most charming 

 books about a garden in the language." Daily Chronicle. 



" This sumptuous edition will enhance the appreciation even of this much appre- 

 ciated book." Aberdeen Frte Press.
