being published by the Country Life 

 Limited. The cultural directions are 

 free.ly and explicitly given, and under 

 the various headings lists of the best 

 (lowers and plants for outdoors and 

 the greenhouse are supplied. Also the 

 names and descriptions of ornamental 

 trees and shrubs. Useful vegetables 

 and fruits likewise occupy the author's 

 attention. There are a few illustra- 

 tions explanatory of the bed, and 

 among other subjects roses are liber- 

 ally dealt with. Orchids that are good, 

 cheap and easily grown by amateurs 

 also find a place in this handbook 

 which is probably without a rival in 

 price. 



Every Man's Book of Garden Flow- 

 ers by John Halsham. (Hodder and 

 Stoughton, London.) The author of this 

 little volume published not long since, 

 "Every man his own Gardener," which 

 has now been supplemented by a well 

 printed, freely illustrated cultural 

 dictionary of 375 pages dealing with 

 border and bedding flowers usually 

 grown in Biitish gardens. The ar- 

 rangement is alphabetical, more or less 

 space being devoted to the various 

 plants according to their importance. 

 There are 128 full paged illustrations 

 from photogi-aphs all fairly well ex- 

 ecuted. 



A Concise Handbook of Climbers, 

 Twiners and Wall Shrubs by H. Pure- 

 joy Fitzgerald. (Methuen & Co., Lon- 

 don.) About three years ago Messrs. 

 Methuen & Co. published a neat little 

 handbook by Mrs. H. M. Batson en- 

 titled "A Concise Handbook of Gar- 

 den Flowers" and they have now still 

 further extended the series by issuing 

 two others uniform in style. The first 

 of these is the one bearing the above 

 title and is a neatly printed little 

 foolscap octavo volume bound in cloth 

 and printed on antique paper. The 

 book contains 32 prettily executed 

 process illustrations and is certainly a 

 handy little companion volume to 

 Batson's concise handbook of garden 

 flowers. 



A Concise Handbook of Shrubs by 

 Mrs. Gwynn Lewis. (Methuen & Co., 

 London.) This is another book of the 

 same series as the preceding. It is 

 printed and bound in the same style 

 and published at the same price. The 

 cyclopedic arrangement is adopted, 

 and the book is illustrated with photo 

 engravings. One extract from this 

 work will show how it and the com- 

 panion volume on climbers are ar- 

 ranged, the entries being in strict al- 

 phabetical order throughout, viz.: 

 Arutidinaria Veitchii. Japan. H. ; 1 to 

 2 feet. Syns. A. albo-marginata; A. 

 kurilensis varpaniculata; Bambusa 

 tessrllata; B. Veitchii. A free-growing 

 dwarf species, rather shabby in winter, 

 but extremely decorative in spring. 

 The species given do not exhaust the 

 hardy Arundinarias, but form a rep- 

 resentative collection of the most or- 

 namental varieties. 



Batson's, Fitzgerald's and Lewis's 

 three little volumes will form an ex- 

 cellent trio on the subjects to which 

 they refer being uniform in size, and 

 style as already mentioned.
