 which information is much needed amongst cultivators: altogether we heartily commend 

 the hoo^."— Gardeners' Chronicle. 



" This is a companion volume to Mr. Williams's admirable work on ' Stove and Greenhouse 

 Flowering Plants,' and is as well got up as regards mechanism, and as terse and practical in 

 style, as the most business-like reader could desire. It need not be said here that it is a book 

 to be relied upon for accuracy, because that is the first thing we should expect from a cul- 

 tivator of Mr. Williams's immense experience ; but it is proper to remark that the book 

 constantly presents examples of freshness of observation, spirited criticism, and original and 

 valuable suggestion."— Gardeners' Magazine.
