FOREWORD.
Reading edition
My thanks are due to all those who have allowed me to quote from them in compiling this book. For permission to use some of their recipes I am indebted to Mrs. C. W. Earle; George Savage & Sons, The Garden City, Letchworth; Dr. Josiah Oldfield’s Fruitarian Diet; Olive Green’s How to Cook Vegetables; Mr. C. Herman Senn’s How to Cook Vegetables; Mrs. Ross’s Tuscan Kitchen; and Mr. Sydney Beard’s Order of the Golden Age; while the extracts from the lecture by Mr. W. F. Giles are given by permission of Messrs. Sutton & Sons.
Most of all, however, I owe thanks to Mr. A. C. Curtis, author of The Small Garden Beautiful and The Small Garden Useful, for cultural directions and for his great help in general revision of the whole book.
