Excerpt from Old-Fashioned Gardening: A History and a Reconstruction

When the idea of this book first came to me, long ago, suggested by the question that has continually been asked me by a great many people, it shaped itself in my imagination as something very different from what I now find the actuality to be. The sorcery of the phrase was upon me; and I never dreamed that "old-fashioned gardening" could lead me on other than a gentle, sweet and sentimental pilgrimage through flowery ways, along which fine, shadowy figures flitted to keep me goodly, if ghostly, company.

For it has been a term to conjure with for many a day - to lead the fancy along paths of pleasant dalliance through whose dim distances the laughter of dainty dames in powder and patches echoed against the deeper tones of bewigged gallants with whom they coquetted. But to tell the story of gardening has been very different than to dream of it, I find. Peopled with these delightful shades the old nooks and corners are, to be sure: but of the truth about their flowery retreats they will tell nothing.
