^02 GOLDEN GLOW AND HOLLYHOCKS 
gardens there are so large and so many kinds of 
flowers are planted in them, that it is rather con- 
fusing. 
I cannot imagine either Joseph or me not know- 
ing where our flowers are planted, whether they are 
looking vigorous, whether their blooms are at their 
height or fading, and all about them. I think we 
could walk to any one of them with our eyes shut. 
So, even though our garden is small and new, we 
know it intimately, and in this feeling there is surely 
more pleasure than in having to ask a gardener the 
way to the lemon verbena, and to ask whether it is 
permissible to pick a few sprigs. 
In time, perhaps, our garden will grow large, 
and we shall have many kinds of plants that we 
have not now. I hope, however, that we shall 
never lose sight of our dear favourites which have 
helped to make our first year’s garden so beautiful.
