All its secrets seem to lie so invitingly open to the eye. Yonder in the west lis the low, delicately-undulating line of white created dupes, Holland's natural sea-wall. Our garden lies in a trough behind themį a subtle soil, artificially made up, and only, a foot or two above sea-level." Their sand drifts constant over its sea-clay, but si times, too, the wind drives across them in a fury and so everywhere the gardener improvises screen to protect his cultures.
