COLOUR IN MY GARDEN 



sations with country folk in many localities, through 

 visitors to my garden, and in the ordinary course of reading 

 garden literature. Through lack of space I have been able 

 to include only garden flowers and such of the wild flowers 

 as are sometimes grown in gardens, and a few trees. Un- 

 regenerate weeds I have been constrained to shut out of this 

 book of my garden as I must from the garden itself. This 

 has caused me more than one struggle; for those plants 

 which either through their supposed medicinal virtues or 

 from their naughty persistence in defying the efforts of man 

 to accomplish law and order upon the land, are the ones 

 with the very quaintest and most interesting of flower names.
