Book Description
Excerpt from The Home Garden Is there no beauty in Pomona that we can call to our aid? For why should we everlastingly apply to Flora for everything that is beautiful in the embellishment of our gardens Fruit-trees have flowers as well, and thus they Offer us a double supply of beauty; being beautiful when in flower and beautiful when in fruit - pleasing to the eye and to the taste, and ornamental as well as useful - doubly gratifying and doubly enjoyable. Plants with bright seed-vessels are always in demand for their ornamental qualities; but, after all, these only please the eye, instead of furnishing, like the fruit-trees, entertainment for man and beast. Red-cheeked apples, it is argued, are quite as decorative as red-berried shrubs; and the bird's-eye cherry is scarcely more desirable when in flower than any other cherry, while the ripe fruit, preserves, etc., of the ordinary kind will cause the empty blossoms to go up at full sail.

Book Description
"A dark, suburban fantasy . . . richly funny, even whimsical, and bizarrely familiar." —The New Yorker In the seaside community of Donald Antrim's Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World, the citizens are restless. The mayor has fired stinger missiles into the Botanical Garden reflecting pool, and his public execution was a messy affair. As these hawkish suburbanites fortify their houses with deadly moats and land mines, a former third-grade teacher named Pete Robinson steps forward with a tenuous bid to replace the mayor. But can anyone satisfy the terrible will of the people? By turns funny and phantasmagorical, fiercely intelligent and imaginative, Donald Antrim's story of suburban civics turned macabre is a new American classic.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Garden That I Love I could live in it.' I suppose I smiled; for a Whole life passed on a piece of earth fifteen feet square, part of which is dedicated to a gravel path, seems a somewhat narrow existence. But, after all, what is narrow? The Garden that I Love is, I allow, a trifle larger than that but to the owner of Wilton or Albury I imagine it would appear pitiably small. Withal, not only could I spend'all my days in it, but, as a fact, I do so and the only complaint I ever have to make concerning it is when weeds grow apace or shrubberies become unconscionably untidy and then I blame myself, and say to Veronica, who has often warned me against what she calls my mania for expansion, that I fear it is too large. Gentle as she always is with me, she cannot resist quoting my tardy testimony to the fulfilment of her own predictions. A wise man never says Med culpd to a woman. But then I have no pretensions to be wise, save in love for my garden and for Veronica. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from In Garden Orchard and Spinney A billow of ivy overhangs part of my garden-wall, making a rare shelter against inclement skies for such of the winged insect folk as have overlived the year - a large eyed, melancholy fly, its body ringed with yellow and brown, transparent with empti ness, a thing of sad lemurine demeanour and dreamily torpid; a tortoise-shell butterfly, with wings as tattered as any Crimean colours, but holding here and there traces of its autumnal glories a blue-bottle infirm and old, hoary with anxieties, that moves wearily under the burden of its days.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Garden and the Fire In Time of War. (To H. D. H.) Ah! if we lose - if this fair countryside, Where sleep our fathers, where our children play, Lay dumb beneath the footsteps of the foe; If here, our English liberty o'erthrown, Ruled foreign harshness, foreign pride of race; And all the heritage that we might leave our sons Were slavery, and shame to face the foe - What comfort then in books, or work, or ease, Or summer twilight on a rose-bowered lawn, And whispering winds among the dreaming elms! Crimson and gold of sunset on the sea Would seem the fires of Hell, were England dead - These fields her grave, our tears her memory. But if we win, and with our victory Gain lands and gold and hatred of the foe, Lust of this world, and blood-stained pride That holds Thy white humility in scorn, Better forego such spoils; - nay, best to know The utter blinding shame of sheer defeat. Lay Thou, O Lord, Thy lash across our backs, Bow these our stubborn heads, and from our hands Strike down the sword. Cut short our triumph-songs And bind our souls with helplessness and fear. Then from the ruins of the land we love, We Thy sad people, scourged with slavery, Perchance might lift our ravaged hearts to Thee. And had we neither house nor home nor king, Nor any name save much as serfs might bear, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
