Excerpt from The Garden Book for Young People His book tells the story of a young girl and her brother Joseph, who utilise a triangular strip of ground for planting a flower garden. The girl loves her roses best, and the boy finds delight in working the soil and in tending his hardy plant's. Together they sow seeds and watch for them to sprout; they set out young plants and wait in patience until their flowers unfold; they wage war with weeds and insect pests, and, at length, prepare to meet the winter. These young people learn the habits of birds that build nests among the flowers and in the bordering coppice where shy wildlings grow. Their life is 'far from dull. Older inhabitants of the suburb, who have beautiful gardens, become interested in the desire of Joseph and his sister to make their home attractive, and continually encourage and teach them. The garden is their meeting place of work and play and their opportunity for studying the out-of-door world, the secrets of which they would gladly share with the reader.
