THEIR VALUE AND USES : WITH FULL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

 THEIR CULTIVATION

With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d. net 



" Not many new gardening books have as strong a claim to the attention of the 

 garden-lover as Mr Speer's manual. It is a book that will be welcomed by every 

 gardener, of whatever degree, for it deals fully and comprehensively with a class of 

 plants that call for specialised description, so slightly and so discursively are they 

 treated in most general works on flower cultivation . . . the horticulturist will find 

 adequate data relating to most varieties of every flower. . . . Mr Speer's work 

 bears evidence of an intimate knowledge of cultural conditions relating to a vast 

 floral family, and it deserves to rank as a standard authority." Pa II Mall Gazette.

 " We have here a book which not only tells ordinary British amateur botanists 

 new to the Alps a vast deal that they will find most helpful, but will also enable the 

 utter novice to understand the pageant he sees. A most lucidly simple explanation 

 of the general structure of flowers and a glossary of ordinary technical terms are 

 given in appendices. The splendid photographs of plants in situ complete a book 

 which every Alpine habitue will do well to enjoy this winter and take out with him 

 next year. Pa H Mall Gazette.
