NOTICES OF BOOKS. 



Bulbs and Bulb-Culture, Vol. II. By D. T. Fish. Bazaar 

 Office, London. 



Like the first volume of this work on Bulbs by the same busy author, the 

 second one contains historical and descriptive notes, with very full practical 

 instructions for the successful culture of Cyclamens, Dahlias, Gladiolus, Iris, 

 Ixias, Sparaxis, Tritonias, Babianas, Lachenalia, Ranunculus, Schizostylis, 

 Scillas, Tigridia. All these are treated of in a thoroughly practical manner ; 

 and those who require a reliable guide to Bulb-Culture cannot do better than 

 possess themselves of Mr Fish's handy volumes. 



The Herefordshihe Pomona, Part IV. London : David Bogue, 3 St 

 Mark's Place, Trafalgar Square. Hereford : Lakeman & Carver, High 

 Town. 



This Part of this magnificent work follows up and completes the i)ractical 

 treatise on the Orchard and its Produce ; the Management of the Fruit and 

 Cider -house; the Process of Fermentation, its Theory, Varieties, Practice, 

 and Difficulties ; the Manufacture of Cider and Perry ; the Orchard in its 

 Financial Aspect and its Prospect, by C. H. Bulwer, M.A. These matters are 

 treated of in a thoroughly practical manner. The Part contains, besides, 

 accurate descriptions with beautifully coloured portraits of 29 varieties of 

 Apples and 35 varieties of Pears. These portraits are even more beautifully- 

 executed, if that be possible, than those of the three former Parts. It is 

 scarcely possible that any one who purchases this splendid work can be disap- 

 pointed with it.
