There were hundreds of visitors daily at this fine demonstration garden and the adjoining food cottages, and the result was partly shown by the fact that there were 
more than 30,000 war gardens in Boston in 1918. In this series of gardens on “The Common” there were thirty : five varieties of vegetables, 
practically everything except corn being included. Miss Anna Biddle Frismouth with several assistants was 
in charge of the gardens for the Women’s City Club.
