Table of Contents

To that distinguished and generous gardener, Canon Ellacombe, I wish to express my appreciation of his kindness in giving me the freedom of his collection of old garden books, though few are so good, interesting, or useful as his own "Plant Lore of Shakspere" and "A Gloucestershire Garden."

To Mr Folkard I am obliged for the loan of his interesting book on "Plant Lore and Legend."

To the Editors of the Morning Leader, Gardeners' Chronicle and Gardeners' Magazine I am obliged for the right to republish such parts of the following book as have appeared in their several papers as essays from my pen.

To Messrs Kelway, of Langport, I am indebted for many presents of beautiful Delphiniums, Pæonies and Pyrethrums, which they grow as few others can.
