There are few authors who follow
their pet hobby 80 assiduously as does
Frances Hodgson Burnett. and ler
hobby Is gardening. Her present home.
at Plandome, near Manhasset, Long
Island, Is a marvel of experimentation
In gardening. She seems to have the
ability to coax the most reluctant flow
er out of the ground. When new
seedsmans catalogue arrives. other
household affairs quite cease. such sor-
did matters as sleeping, writing books,
eating and talking stop. till the catu-
logue has been crisis crossed with ap-
proving marks. And table conversati ton
is likely to centre about the gardens
as yachtman's centres about storms
and rigging.
But her present garden is as nothing
compared with the rare old gardens
Mrs. Burnett once had at her beautiful
old manor house. Maytham Hall, In
England. She made the most beauti-
full garden In all Kent. q county noted
for Its gardens. g
E Back of tho mansion proper stretched
old brick walls, showing traces of
masonry dating as far back as 1000
A. D. Some of the walls were SO old
that great cedars grew atop them.
Some were tumbled down, gray. with
exquisite tracery OF lichens Among
these quiet old walls stretched many
gardens.
The most interesting had once been
an apple orchard. The trees had rot
ted away and the plot become tan
