Part 77

“The whole book is delicious, with wise and kindly humor, its just perspectives of the true values of things, its clever pen pictures of people and customs, and its healthy optimism for the great world in general.”—The Evening Telegraph, Philadelphia.

The Garden, You and I

With a Frontispiece in Colors and Other Illustrations

“The garden and its flowers are the dominant interest, of course, but it is so managed that they shall serve as a setting for the human activities that engage a good share of the reader’s attention. There runs through the book that strong and hearty nature which is characteristic of all this author’s work. Before everything else, it is an outdoor book. It tells for the most part the tale of the open-air seasons.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
