 .\ book about gardeners, gardens and plants, conceived 

 iiii.|uite a novel and interesting wav. Four ladies, each 

 of whom loves her garden, feel the need for help and 

 advice with regard to the many problems they liiul 

 themselves called on to deal with from time to time, 

 (iathered together one day, as is the habit ol' gardeners, 

 though they may be professionals, they decide to form 

 a guild with powers to add to their number. Thereaftei 

 ihe book consists of a series of letters from the various 

 members to each other, presenting problems and sug- 

 gesting solutions. Throughout there is much gooil 



counsel, aiul as Ihe pniblems are such as i»ccur in 

 gardens ol all kinds and sizes, ,-iinaleurs and beginners 

 will tind many a valuable hint, and r\c.ii the profes 

 sioiial may study the solutions with advantage. " .\ri 

 Invaliil's l-'loweis" is a vensible ,'ind useful contribution, 

 showing how Mowers may be brought to the invalid with- 

 out thai overpowering elfect too common in sick rooms 

 .So, too, other letters deal with " Delicate C'rardens,' 

 " .My Neighbours' (iardens," &c., all written in a plea- 

 sant, sympathetic way, which will surely appeal to a 

 large number of "garden lovers. " The binding and 

 printing are well done, with a coloured frontispiece of 

 white Clem.'ilis on Ihe outside cover. Tlie illustrations 

 throughout are not altogether satisfactory, being gene- 

 rally inilistinct, seldom showing the true beauty 0/ the 

 Mowers. The best is that of self-sown Foxgloves at 

 page 1,^4. The teM runs to -■40 pages, including an 

 excellent inde.v. .Mistakes in spelling are few and not 

 material, as the use ol Latin names is discanled as far 

 .IS possible for ICnglish or common names.
