"Let us sigh with gratitude and read the volume with deHght. For 

 here it all is — what we should plant, and when we should plant it; 

 how to care for it after it is planted and growing; what to do if it does not 

 grow and blossom; what will blossom, and when it will blossom, and what 



the blossom will be It is full of garden-love, of the spirit of happy 



out-door life. It is a good book, a wholesome book; it influences you in 

 the reading, just as working in the garden does in the doing — not walking 

 in the garden merely, but turning over the soil, pulling the weeds, nursing 

 up a drooping plant, getting close to the ground; you feel better and truer 

 — feel that hfe is good and is worth hving, while there are gardens, and 

 flowers blooming in these gardens, and women who are living and loving 

 both flowers and gardens, and writing about them." — The Dial.
