WITH AN APPENDIX OF PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS AND USEFUL INFORMATION RESPECTING THE ANGLO- INDIAN FLOWER-GARDEN. CALCUTTA: MDCCCLV. PREFACE. In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend. Pope. This volume is far indeed from being a scientific treatise On Flowers and Flower-Gardens:--it is mere gossip in print upon a pleasant subject. But I hope it will not be altogether useless. If I succeed in my object I shall consider that I have gossipped to some purpose.
