fTlHE earlier history of this part of the garden 

 J is told opposite Plate No. Ik (July kth). 



Now frost has silenced the annuals, and the 

 day of most of the perennials is past. But these 

 faithful ones, the Michaelmas Daisies and the 

 gray-leaved things, will linger on, a trifle faded 

 as to their soft-hued garment but showing patches 

 of warm colour here and there, until the first 

 of November and even longer if the weather is 

 mild.
