EIGHTEENTH EDITION. Large Crown 8vo. js. 6d. 



Pot=Pourri from a Surrey 

 Garden. 



With an Appendix by LADY CONSTANCE LYTTON. 



Dean HOLE, in an article upon the work in the Nineteenth Century^ says: 

 "There is not time for further enjoyment of this sweet, spicy " Pot-Pourri" ; no space for 

 further extracts from this clever and comprehensive book ; only for two more earnest 

 words to the reader Buy it.' 



The SPECTATOR. ' Space fails to show the excellence in every department of 

 Mrs. Earle's practical advice ; but no woman who loves her house, her garden, and her 

 children should fail to read this book.' 



The GUARDIAN.' It is impossible to read a page of this book without being 

 struck by its vigorous freshness, its helpfulness, and its human kindliness.' 



The NATIONAL REVIEW.-' Will be the delight of all who take an intelligent 

 interest in their garden, their kitchen, or their children, for it is brimming over with frank 

 and shrewd and genial information.' 



The PALL MALL GAZETTE. 'A charming volume, full of useful hints on 

 gardening, cooking, and domestic economy in general, written with all the grace of a 

 refined and cultured gentlewoman. . . . The appendix on the Japanese method of arranging 

 flowers, by Lady Constance Lytton, is also worth reading.' 



The TIMES. ' Intelligent readers of almost any age, especially if they are con- 

 cerned in the management of a country household, will find these pages throughout both 

 suggestive and amusing.' 



The WORLD.' Pot-Pourri indeed, fresh, fragrant and wholesome. . . . The 

 garden chapters are truly delightful. Mrs. Earle's knowledge of her subject is remarkable ; 

 she revels in every detail connected with her plants, and as she teils us of them month by 

 month, her narrative has the charm which comes of sympathetic insight and true love.' 



PUNCH. ' Mrs. Earle pleasantly talks of a multitude of things. . . . The Surrey 

 garden is comparatively small in area. It cannot take us all in to enjoy companionship 

 of its charming custodian. Happily, here is the book, through which ripples the low 

 voice of a gracious-mannered gentlewoman, who knows most things about house and 

 garden, and modestly shares with the stranger at her gate the garnered fruit of long 

 experience.' 



The DAILY TELEGRAPH. 1 There is an infinite quantity of useful information, 

 as well as a vast amount of common sense, in Mrs. C. W. Earle's collection of essays, 

 which deal exhaustively and entertainingly with horticulture, education, and cookery.' 



The MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. 'For the amateur gardener it is full of 

 excellent instruction. . . . Mrs. Earle has, in short, endowed the literature of the garden 

 with a wholesome and delightful book.' 



The SCOTSMAN. 'The ingredients are both seasonable and well seasoned, and 

 cunningly combined. . . . Of solid information there is a goodly supply ; and Mrs. Earle's 

 memory seems as rarely at fault as her taste.' 



The LIVERPOOL DAILY POST. 'A charming book, which perhaps may best 

 be described as womanly. . . . All garden lovers will do well to find a corner on their 

 shelves for her book.' 



The GLOBE. ' Full of interesting notes on flowers, fruits, and vegetables, with 

 here and there some culinary notes which suggest the expert. A few additional chapters 

 treat discursively of various domestic matters.' 



The BRITISH REVIEW.' Gardening is the backbone of the book ; but even in 

 the first twelve chapters, each of which takes its name from a month, there are many 

 useful hints thrown in for the cook and the housewife. Later on, Mrs. Earle attacks the 

 more complex problems of our sons and daughters, and adds chapters on furnishing and 

 the sick-room.'
