The Window Flower Garden Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Book of Town Window Gardening I'll take the showers as they fall, I will not vex my bosom Enough if at the end of all A little garden blossom. Courage is wanted to write a book about Town-garden ing. Is there such a thing? Some would say No; cats, fogs, and smuts forbid. Yet how inseparable from London is the thought of flowers I Can we picture the West End on a summer's day without them The dust laid, freshly sprinkled squares and streets, where behind half-drawn blinds there is the fragrance of many blossoms the bright harness of horses jangling as they champ the bit, a knot of flowers at every bridle, flower-sellers with baskets at all convenient corners, and along the roadway carts Of Palms and growing plants bending and waving in the wind, every man one meets has got his button-hole, and every maiden wears her posy even the butcher-boy holds a bud between his thumb and finger, twirling it and smelling at it as he goes.

Excerpt from The Flower Garden, or Chapters on Flowers: A Sequel to Floral Biography This habit may be unconsciously acquired while life itself is but a gay garden of sweets, and the secret language of inexperienced confidence is, I shall see no sorrow: but it needs somewhat more than a sip of the bitters mingled for God's children in this mor tal state to excite a relish for the mysterious sweetness thus reserved to qualify the unpalatable draught. God has given us richly all things to enjoy: the worldling' may possess, but the Christian alone can enjoy these gifts. And as through the merely me chanical arrangement of types and paper, ink and pasteboard, into certain forms, a book is produced which shall contain a correct transcript of the reveal ed word, and become, under divine operation, the means of bringing life eternal within the grasp of its readers, so on many an inanimate object, formed, like our. Selves, from the element of earth, a blessing is made to rest, - a name is written, which no man can know save he that receiveth it as a gift from God. Fig?

Excerpt from Familiar Garden Flowers This is the preface to the Third Series of this work, and it seems to be necessary to say something. And yet if you will just turn from this page and open the Window and look at the garden, the flowers should speak with far better effect than the author could possibly hope to do.
