TAKES DELIGHT I'm GARDENS
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, One
of Those Who Seemingly Charm
the Flowers to Grow.

There are few authors who follow
their pet hobby so assiduously as does
Frances Hodgson Burnett; and her
hobby is gardening. Her present home
at Plantdome, near Manhasset, L. l.,
is a marvel of experimentation in gar
dening.
She seems to have the ability to
coax the most reluctant flower out of
the ground. When a new seedman's
catalogue arrives, other household af-
fairs quite cease-such sordid mat
tiers as sleeping, writing books, eating
and talking shop-till the catalogue
has been criss-crossed with approving
marks. And table conversation Is like
ly to center about the gardens, as a
yachtman's centers about storms and
rigging.
But her present garden is nothing
as compared with the rare old gardens
Mrs. Burnett once had at her beau
tiful old manor house, Maytham Hall,
in England. She made the most beau
tiful garden in all Kent-a county
noted for gardens.
Back Of the mansion stretched old
brick walls, showing traces Of ma
sorry dating as far back as 1000 A. D.
Some of the walls were so old that
great cedars grew atop Of them. Some
were tumbled down, gray, with exquis-
lite tracery of lichens. Among these
quite old walls stretched many gar
dens.
The most interesting had once been
an apple orchard. The trees had rot
ted away and the plot become tan
gled, wild back O. the beyond. Here,
decided Mrs. Burnett, she would have
a rose garden in which to write. She
planted roses, not merely In a few
formal beds, but in masses, climbing
roses and low shrubs, making one
great blaze of color.
