" "In a Tuscan Garden," by an anonymous writer, will be published next week by John Lane. The anonymous “lady” gives her experiences in the garden she has made in Tuscany, and tells much of the breezy side of Florence, about the wild and trained parts of nature, and of human nature both among the upper and lower classes. She also describes the Italian bucolic character - the slow. happy-go-lucky indolence of mind and body, and the self-confidence in garden matters, which is so often exasperating. It is both instructing and amusing, and in keeping with the atmosphere of a nature subject. There are eight full-page illustrations reproduced in half-tone from photographs of the garden and its neighborhood. The decorative cover was designed by T. Hanford Pond." - New York Times, May 24, 1902, Section T, Page 12
