PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



TiiK Gakiikn I'mikh Gi..\s,-;. by William 

 F. Howies, with numerous iiraftical 

 diaprams from drawings by G. D. 

 Rowles and 32 illustrations from 

 photopraphs. 8vo. Cloth, gilt top. 

 Price. $2.00 Net, 



This is an EnKlish book written for 

 the edification and instruotion of the 

 amateur erower. but well adapted to 

 the great army of .Vmerioans now 

 mobilized to fipht the high cost of liv- 

 ing and the fact that it gives more or 

 less space to distinctly floral topics 

 does not in the least detract from its 

 value in that respect. The chapters 

 deal %vith all phases of the culture of 

 fruit, flowers and vegetables under 

 glass. The instructions cover briefly 

 and in simple terms a wide range of 

 detail, answering the many (luestions 

 and solving at once the myriad of prob- 

 lems which confront the novice in 

 horticulture. 



The author has made the How to Do 

 It clear, practical and complete. Data 

 of construction, from cold frames and 

 Jilts to the extensive greenhouse, with 

 numerous drawings and illustrations, 

 assuming no knowledge on the part of 

 the reader, is intelligently given. Then, 

 under the headings. Fruit, Vegetables, 

 and Popular Greenhouse Plants, a 

 varied array of cultural knowledge is 

 marshalled. Preparation of soil, of 

 seed, cultivation and time of jilanting. 

 are also treated. There is a green- 

 house calendar for each month of the 

 year; and a valuable glossary of tech- 

 nical words. A better aid in adding 

 to the variety and wholesomeness of 

 food supplied the table, cannot be 

 found. 



Seedsmen, nurserymen and florists 

 can with confidence commend this 

 book to their customers who are am- 

 bitious to try a little advanced horti- 

 culture in a modest way. Sentiment is 

 headed strongly in that direction and

it is only a question of a short time 

 until the number of home gardeners in

 try will be vastly increased.
