_Recorded by the Gardener, with eight photogravure illustrations_
“‘The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife’ is a legend which gives no
hint of the wit and wisdom and graceful phrase within its
covers. The Commuter’s charming woman writes of her suburban
garden, her original servants, and various other incidents which
come in the course of living in a thoroughly human way. She
reminds one of Elizabeth of ‘German Garden’ fame in more ways
than one, but being American she is broader, more versatile and
humorous, if not also more poetic. It breathes an air of cheery
companionship, of flowers, birds, all nature, and the warm
affection of human friendship. Its philosophy is wholesome,
unselfish, and kindly, and the Commuter’s Wife, who writes her
own memoirs, is one we would be glad to number among our
friends.”—_The Evening Post_, Chicago.
