IRISH GARDENING 



Reviews. 



* The Rose Encyclopaedia. 



This new and comprehensive work is from the 

 pen of Mr. T. G. W. Henslow, iM.A. Tlie autlior 

 is a well-lvnown writer, a practical rose grower and 

 an organiser of proven aliility. He writes with 

 first-hand knowledge of liis subject, and has ad- 

 \anced through all the stages from tyro to the 

 skilled producer of high-class flowers. In the 

 process he has amassed a fund of knowledge 

 ol)tainable in no other way, and has en- 

 co\mtered all the difficulties and obstacles that 

 l)eset the path of every beginner. He has learnt, 

 therefore, how to solve the problems every 

 grower finds from time to time, and in the nine- 

 teen chapters included in the Encyclopaedia he 

 has set out in a lucid form the manifold aspects 

 of rose growing. It is not possible in a compara- 

 tively brief review to discuss the details of each 

 chapter, but on the important questions of Suih 

 (Did their ['reiiaratioii. Manures, Plantinij (iiid 

 rnm'ing, there is little room for criticism. The 

 author writes as one who knows, and while con- 

 sidering and discussing all the details, and point- 

 ing out the essentials, be is wisely not dogmatic, 

 and allows for differences in soil, situation and 

 aspect, making common-sense observations as tri 

 the necessary modifications required in treatment. 

 The chapters are full, Init not too long, and the 

 author is never wearisome. Other important 

 chapters are those on I'lOpit'jiiUdu, Pesis and 

 Spmyinti, Fl.rhihitinfi ; also Poses for JJerorotions,
