The reappearance of some of the most delightful members of Mrs. Wright’s gardening fraternity gives an old-friend atmosphere to her new book. The story is mainly in the form of letters. “The purpose of the correspondence is to afford opportunity for the experienced Barbara to give of her more abundant knowledge to Mary Penrose, who with her husband is having a ‘garden vacation,’ camping in an old open barn in their own grounds.... A thread of romance runs through the letters, and the same spirit of sympathy with nature that has informed the writer’s other volumes is evident in the present one. For the sake of the garden-lover who reads to learn, it should be said that there are several excellent and suggestive lists of perennials, annuals, and roses, with explanatory notes: but there is no index.” (Dial.)
