_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_.

Transcriber’s Notes:
A few obvious typesetting errors have been corrected without note. Some
illustrations have been moved slightly to keep paragraphs intact.
