Excerpt from Country Pleasures: The Chronicle of a Year Chiefly in a Garden Of the garden itself it may be said that it possesses no especial advantages either of soil or of climate; but it is large and old - extending over several acres and having considerable variety in the shape of wood and water, orchard and lawn, dingle and meadow.
