Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Little Garden of Roses, and Valley of Lilies IT is a matter for wonder, that so few of the works of the B. Thomas a Kempis are known to the English reader; and this the more, that they all breathe the same meek and warm spirit of piety and devotion we meet with in that golden book attributed so popularly to his name, and this more over to such an extent, that it is dith cult to believe that there should ever have been any hardy enough to deny, that the author of these, and of The Imitation of Christ, were identical.

Download or read book Variety in the Little Garden Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Francis King and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Variety in the Little Garden The Puschkinia is another of these delicious little early things. Its nodding flower is held on a stem about four inches high, and is striped, bluish and white. On our ground it is fair to see, for it has spread itself about from the first sowing till long reaches of it now appear under lilacs, and the interesting thing is to see the amount of fine grass-like leaves among the newer blooming bulbs. All these leaves give promise of flowers within a year or two. In fact, when the blue-white mist of Puschkinia lies around a little semicircular brick platform, used as a sitting-place just at one side of the garden, -runs ofl' through pale yellow tulips, and rises through the handsome leaves of Euonymus skirting the curve of brick, I think this one of Spring's most endearing moments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Home Garden The following pages were originally written for small children; as such they appeared in the Coun try Gentleman under the title The Child's Gar den. Gardening is such a big problem I was anxious to make it understandable to the begin ner's mind. Since our entrance into the World's War the knowledge of the Vital importance of food pro duction has led me to put these chapters into book form for children older grown. The fact that flowers occupy some of the space may help to cheer us as we work at the big task of increasing the world's food supply. The wonderful work the Boy Scouts of America are doing to help increase this supply, has, more than any other cause, led me to rewrite these chap ters. Under the' wonderful leadership of my life partner, the Chief Grub Scout, I am sure they will achieve yet greater results.

Download or read book The Planning Planting of Little Gardens Classic Reprint written by George Dillistone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Planning Planting of Little Gardens The object of this book is to assist the owners of small garden plots to determine the best ways of laying them out, so that the greatest possible use may be made of the area, and the most picturesque effects obtained therein. Much general information has also been introduced, indicating the uses to which the garden may be put when it is made, and also what can be grown therein. It was considered unnecessary to crowd the pages with a great many detailed cultural directions or descriptions of plants, and an effort has been made rather to indicate the objective to be aimed at, and the course to pursue to attain it, than to produce a compendium of gardening lore generally. Having decided of what the garden is to consist, readers will do well to look for books treating more intimately with the particular garden feature or features they have decided to adopt. To those who desire information on rose-growing I would commend Rose Growing Made Easy, by E. T. Cook; for information on rock gardening, The Rock Garden, by E. H. Jenkins. Fruit Growing for Beginners, by F. W. Harvey, will be found useful to those desiring to garden for practical ends; and whether the garden is large or small.

These she answered in the Correspondence columns of the Magazine, and in July 1884, it was suggested that a Parkinson Society should be formed, whose objects were to search out and cultivate old garden flowers which have become scarce; to exchange seeds and plants; to plant waste places with hardy flowers; to circulate books on gardening amongst the Members; and further, to try to prevent the extermination of rare wild flowers, as well as of garden treasures.
