CHILDREN'S GARDENS 
book is only intended as a sketch, and gives 
the merest mention in unscientific language of 
some of the most obvious plants and necessary 
work in each season of the year. More com¬ 
plete and scientific works should be referred to 
for following up the threads of knowledge in 
the lines here indicated. 
I have to thank all kind friends who have 
assisted me by sending photographs or draw¬ 
ings for illustrations; and I am specially grate¬ 
ful to Sir Thomas Hanbury for reading the 
final proofs of these pages.
