PRESS NOTICES. 



"'Jottings of a Gentleman Gardener,' by E. T. Ellis, 

 is full of gardening wisdom and enthusiasm. . . . His 

 enthusiasm for the garden is as great as his knowledge of 



"liis subject Was it inspiration that suggested to him 



that he should start his chapters with an article on turning 

 a field of grass into a flower garden ? It looks like it. The 

 allotment workers are digging grass, and are meeting with 

 the difficulties he describes." Sheffield Daily Telegraph. 



" Mr. E. T. Ellis's 'Jottings of a Gentleman Gardener' 

 are full and particular, and bear the signs of observant 

 experience." TJie Times. 



" This is a book which cannot fail to fascinate the 

 garden lover. .... An admirable chapter, for instance, is 

 that on Picturesque Vegetable Gardening, which should 

 help some people to be patriotic without ceasing to be 

 aesthetic." Scottish Country Life. 



" The chapters on stones for rock-work, and the notes 

 on soils and manures are among the best in the volume.'' 



The Gardeners Chronicle. 



"There is scarcely a department that is not covered, 

 and among the most valuable chapters are those devoted to 

 weeds, pests and diseases, soils and manures and their 

 management, and experiment in gardening. To a gardener 

 who can mix his own brains with those of the author, the 

 book must be one of the most valuable of its kind." 

 Sheffield Daily Independent. 



"This is one of the best manuals for the amateur 

 gardener seeking practical hints and advice." Journal of 

 Education. 



" The chapters on cut flowers and lists of suitable 

 plants for that purpose will prove useful, and those on 

 ordinary garden operations leave nothing to be desired. 

 .... Very properly, much space is devoted to the garden 

 soil, its treatment and its various pests. These chapters 

 are well done, and in these days of added production of 

 food, the amateur, after reading the author's advice, would 

 rind in his vegetable plot an increased interest and an 

 i ncreased output." Irish Gardening.
