The Garden of a Commuter's Wife Recorded by the Gardener WITH EIGHT PHOTOGRAVURE ILLUSTRATIONS Cloth 12mo $1.50 "In brief, the book is delightfully sketchy and chatty, thoroughly feminine and entrancing. The writer represents herself as a doctor's daughter in a country town, who has married an Englishman, and after two years abroad has come home to live. Both husband and wife prefer the country to the city, and they make of their modest estate a mundane paradise of which it is a privilege to have a glimpse. Surely it is no exaggeration to characterize this as one of the very best books of the holiday season, thus far."--_Providence Journal._ "It is written with charm, and is more than a mere treatise on what may be raised in the small lot of the suburban resident. "The author has not only learned to appreciate nature from intimate association, but has achieved unusual power of communicating these facts to others. There is something unusually attractive about the book."--_The Philadelphia Inquirer._ * * * * * A Woman's Hardy Garden By HELENA RUTHERFORD ELY With many Illustrations from Photographs taken in the Author's Garden by Professor C.F.
