Excerpt from The Countryside Series: Flowers of the Farm

I think that some of you have been with me at Willow Farm before to-day. When we were there we went into the farmers fields in early spring, and saw the men and horses at work with ploughs and harrows. A little later on we saw some of the crops sown, such as barley and turnips. In summer we were in the hayand corn-fields, and later still we saw the ricks being made.

To-day we are at Willow Farm again, and I want to show you some of the flowers that grow there. I do not mean those which Mrs Hammond, the farmers wife, grows in her garden, pretty as they are.
