PUBLISHERS' NOTE 



" An Island Garden " was first issued ten years 

 ago, in an expensive form with lithographic illus- 

 trations in color. It has been for some time out of 

 print, but the continued inquiries for it are evi- 

 dence of its permanent interest and value. To 

 meet these inquiries the publishers have made the 

 present popular edition of the book. 



BOSTON, April, 1904.
