Brooks, Sarah Warner. [Garden with house attached.] $1.50. Badger, R. G.
It is of a Cambridge garden that the author writes which “for twenty years was the property of one who had in the Harvard botanical garden ‘a friend at court,’ and was able thus to obtain choice shrubs and herbaceous plants. The author describes the rose, foxglove, iris, Canterbury bells, violets, hollyhock, and other plants in this garden.” (N. Y. Times). “The general theme is plant and plant-life. It contains good suggestions in regard to the cultivation of flowers.” (Bookm.)
“The style is somewhat diffuse and parenthetical, except where direct advice is given, in which case it is clear enough.” Edith Granger.
