Transcriber's Note:

Punctuation has been standardised, and typographical errors such as missing or reversed letters have been silently corrected.

Variations in hyphenation (such as greenhouse and green-house), and obsolete or variant spelling have been preserved. In particular, variations in the spelling of some botanical names have been left as printed in the original book.

In the Table of Contents, the entry "A Talk About Pansies" was printed as "Pansies"; this has been changed to match the chapter title as printed on page 33.

The following changes were also made:

Pg 82, Verschaffellii changed to Verschaffeltii: (Verschaffeltii, we fear).

Pg 109, Ainwick changed to Alnwick: (a visit to Alnwick Castle).
