Aunt Frosso's garden

 'The gardens of Larnaca are very beautiful , and constitute the only source of delight the women of the place seem to possess . They are , however , no ornament to the town , being inclosed by high walls . Almost every house has its garden ; the shade and verdure thus afforded is a delightful contrast to the glare of a white and dusty soil , everywhere observed around . '

 The Rev. Edward Daniel Clarke
