What Happens in My Garden. by Louise Beebe Wilder

Another charming book by Louise; not only does one respect her experience in the garden, but it's hard not to catch her enthusiasm for the 'tender tufts' (baby plants) she writes so sentimentally about.

My garden, by Louise Beebe Wilder

A wonderful book, not only loaded with good gardening advice but full of feeling --also full of charming and outdated anthropomorphisms! (one doesn't mind too much, however)
