Picturesque English Cottages and Their Doorway Gardens 
A SHADED PATH 
A fine example of cottage rose-gardens is 
seen at Wescott, near Dorking. Grass paths 
intersect at the center, where there is an old 
sun-dial which might appropriately bear the 
motto : 
“ Amvdst ye flowres 
I tell ye houres. 
Tyme wanes awaye 
As fflowers decaye. 
Beyond ye tombe 
Ffresh fflowrets bloome.. 
Soe man shall ryse 
Above ye skyes.” 
A beautiful garden path edged with box 
and overshadowed by trees with grateful 
shade leads from the home of the roses to 
the cottage. 
Another small and delightful rose-garden 
exists at the Battle Union Workhouse, near 
the spot where William the Conqueror fought 
the English. The eyes of the old people 
whose lot it is to find their way to the Union 
when the battle of life is nearly over, must 
THE ROSE GARDEN OK THE BATTLE UNION
