CHARLES THONGER
AUTHOR OF “THE BOOK OF GARDEN FURNITURE”
“A garden is a beautiful book, writ by the finger of God; every flower and every leaf is a letter. You have only to learn them—and he is a poor dunce that cannot, if he will, do that—to learn them and to join them, and then to go on reading and reading, and you will find yourself carried away from the earth to the skies by the beautiful story you are going through.”—Douglas Jerrold.
