Garden of England

Mrs. Elton would like to tell you about Garden of England bar soap, as her friends tell her she is excellent at introductions!

Full of several seed types of unparalleled quality, you will adore the exfoliation of this bar soap. With one breath you are transported to a spring garden with earthy notes of fresh soil, flower buds, herbs, woods, amber, and marigolds. In other words, says Mrs. Elton, it smells exactly like Surry, as she insists it is the only county ever called the garden of England.

“When you have seen more of this country, I am afraid you will think you have overrated Hartfield. Surry is full of beauties.”

“Oh! yes, I am quite aware of that. It is the garden of England, you know. Surry is the garden of England.”

“Yes; but we must not rest our claims on that distinction. Many counties, I believe, are called the garden of England, as well as Surry.”

“No, I fancy not,” replied Mrs. Elton, with a most satisfied smile. “I never heard any county but Surry called so.”

Emma was silenced.
