Wood and Garden

From its simple nature, this book seems scarcely to need any prefatory remarks, with the exception only of certain acknowledgments. A small number of the photographs were done for reproduction in wood-engraving for Mr. Robinson's Garden Gardening Illustrated and English Flower Garden. I have his kind permission to use the original plates. There are already many and excellent books about gardening; but the love of a garden, already so deeply implanted in the English heart, is so rapidly growing, that no excuse is needed for putting forth another.
