The Mary Frances Garden Book

The Mary Frances Series

Jane Eayre Fryer was a school teacher who wrote The Mary Frances Series for young girls and boys to teach them practical skills for home and away. The books are written as part story and part lesson combining whimsical story telling with real life skills such as gardening, homemaking, first aid, sewing, and cooking. The Mary Frances Garden Book provides children with practical knowledge about home gardening.

First published in 1916, this edition is derived from the original book with color page decorations and illustrations by William F. Swirner. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
