LIBRARY NOTES. 



Last week's notes on a new book on the 

 rose were from tlie pen of Mr. Payne. 



As a rather keen collector of rare 

 old gardening books, I can only express 

 my regret that there Is not the same 

 tacllity for acquiring them that ther^i 

 is for getting the new ones. Whar- 

 ever one goes or whatever one wants 

 it is always the same story, that all 

 the old gardening works are being- 

 bought up by Americans. Books that 

 a few years ago could have been 

 bought on the Quais in Paris for a 

 few cents each are now almost unob- 

 tainable for the same number of dol- 

 lars. 3y this 1 am encouraged to 

 think that the literary interesc 

 in modern gardening among Americans 

 is also keen and therefore 1 continue 

 my Library Notes for their special in- 

 formation. The first to claim atten- 

 tion in this week's notes is: 



The Flower Garden, by T. W. San- 

 ders. The author of this bulky little 

 octavo is a well-knowa horticultural 

 writer, and editor of one of our most 

 popular gardening papers. He is a 

 practical gardeuer of many years' ex- 

 perience, and has among much other 

 literary work edited and brought np 

 to date raany of the books written by 

 the famous Shirley Hibberd. The 

 Flower Garden, now presented to the 

 public, is indeed one of the most com- 

 prehensive books on outdoor Rower 

 gardening we have, and is divided 

 into three main divisions — first, the 

 formation and management; second, 

 the arrangement of plants, hardy and 

 half-hardy of every description; third, 

 ornamental trees and shrubs suitable 

 for tbe open air in English gardens. 

 It can easily be understood that in a 

 work extending over 4.50 pages 

 these main divisions are capable of 

 infinite sub-divisions. 



The general plan of the work is sys- 

 tematic and in orderly sequence. A 

 nicely gotten up book, l;rimful of 

 practical information and an excellent 

 present for any euthiisiastic garden 

 amateur. $2.00. 



Sweet Peas and Their Cultivation, 

 by Charles H. Curtis. A capital little 

 manual by the secretary of our Na- 

 tional Sweet Pea Society. It is a neat 

 little treatise that ought to be on the 

 shelves of every lover of the flower. 

 Price 36 cents. 



Rue Baudin, Paris). This is a new 

 monthly .journal devoted to the chry- 

 santhemum, and is the official organ 

 of a new French society for the culti- 

 vation of the popular iuitumn flower. 

 In form and contents it is somewhat 

 similar to "Le Chrysantheme" which 

 has been running now for thirteen 

 vears. Free to members.
