PREFACE 12 



You might as well expect to learn writing 

 without using a pen as gardening without 

 using a bit of land. You will make some 

 mistakes and lose some crops, but I can show 

 you how to profit by mistakes and to lose very 

 little by losses. 



If you don't understand the directions, that 

 is my fault : I should be able to make it clear to 

 everyone. So just write me (a pencil and a 

 postal card will do) and I will tell you what you 

 want to know, if I know it myself or can find 

 out.
