Excerpt from Garden Mosaics
As I have no literary ability or practise, and know very little about gardening, I suppose I ought to apologize for presenting this crude production to an intelligent public. At all events, I should like to put forth my thoughts and reflections with a demeanor of becoming modesty.
I have never been in the habit of expressing my intimate thoughts and feelings, or of laying bare my soul, and if I did, it would not be fit for the public to gaze upon. But occasionally, like others, I express certain desultory opinions. I am sometimes honest and more often try to be, as far as the exigencies of circumstances allow. On this occasion, at any rate, I have no interest or wish to sail under false colors, and were I to do so some of my readers would be sure to find me out.
