Our Mountain Garden.' by Mrs Theodore Thomas, is one of the 

 latest, freshest and most enticing calls to the new life awaiting us in 

 seed, soil and blossom, when we know enough to take it in our own 

 hands. Indeed, as a health restorer and beauty giver, the story of this 

 garden is largely presented by the enthusiastic gardener. It is the 

 whole sweet story of the artist's home and pleasuring in the fair New 

 Hampshire hills, that goes with it, and adds to it much of its finest 

 charm." The St. Louis Globe Democrat. 



"It is a book much resembling 'Elizabeth and Her German Garden,' 

 both in its spontaneity and in its unfeigned love of outdoor life, though 

 without a trace of Elizabeth's inhospitable attitude toward those who 

 love the more frivolous things of life. In fact, the visit of a friend 

 who came with a wagon load of trunks full of fine clothes affords some 

 of her cheeriest pages." The Record-Herald, Chicago. 



" Notwithstanding that there is an endless number of books about 

 gardening published, they will continue to be welcome if they are all 

 as entertaining as this one by Mrs. Thomas. Unless 1 am much mis- 

 taken, it will have the effect of inspiring other women to experiment in 

 mountain gardening." JEANNETTE L. GILDER in The Chicago Tribune. 



" Mr. Thomas seems to deserve as much credit for the results as his 

 wife, for he planned the garden as a recreation during the winter 

 concert season, while Mrs. Thomas carried out the details of the floral 

 decorations. This fact gives the book distinction. The volume also 

 differs from most of its class, in that Mrs. Thomas frankly admits that 

 she had had little or no experience, that the ' wise ones ' she consulted 

 could not always be relied on, and that her mountain cottage and the 

 twenty-five acres of wilderness surrounding it became a beauty spot 

 after the manner of Topsy's uprearing it ' just growed' . . . The 

 style is delightfully informal and sometimes humorous, and the book 

 is well worth a perusal even by those nature lovers who are not enthu- 

 siasts on the question of gardens." Ph iladelphia Ledger.
