Common Name
According to the Golden Guide, the common name Garden Spider is the Araneus diadematus. It is also listed as common name Cross Spider. I don't know what this one is, but I don't think it's diadematus. It looks a little more like the furrow spider, Nuctenea cornuta female drawing from the guide.

Thanks Lynette. I googled it up Furrow spider and you're right on.
