" In the construction of every kind of building required in a garden, the 'structural' section of the work 

 will be found to contain a large amount of information suitable alike for buildings and gardens. Mr M'ln- 

 tosh being himself one of the most experienced garden architects of our time, minute details are given, so 

 that the expense of even a pit, up to a garden replete with every necessary erection, may be at once ascer- 

 tained, a matter of no small importance to gentlemen about either to form new gardens, or improve such as 



already exiat On the whole, this volume on structural gardening, both in compilation and 



artistical execution, deserves our warmest commendation. 



"The second volume is of a cultural character, and has been got up with great care and research. It 

 embodies the opinions and practice of the older writers on Horticulture, and also, what is of more impor- 

 tance, the experience of our eminent modern gardeners on the subject, together with the opinions of our 

 author, who has studied and practised the art for upwards of half a century, both in this country and^on 



the Continent We therefore feel justified in recommending Mr M'Intosb's two excellent 



volumes to the notice of the public." Gardeners' Chronicle. 



"We must congratulate both editor and publishers on the completion of this work, which, whether con- 

 sidered in reference to the information it conveys on the theory and practice of horticulture, its numerous 

 illustrations in the first style of art, and beautiful type, is every way worthy of the character of all concerned 

 in its publication. The scientific knowledge and great experience of the editor in all that pertains to horti- 

 culture, not only as regards cultivation, but as a landscape-gardener and garden architect, has enabled him 

 to produce a work which brings all that is known of the various subjects treated of down to the present 

 time; while the manner in which the work is illustrated merits our highest approval, as most successful 



specimens of engraving On the practical details of culture, the editor gives, in addition to 



his own opinion, the pith of what others have written on the subject. We hope to notice this 



book again. In the mean time, we strongly recommend the ' Booft of the Garden.' To gardeners, in every 

 way it will be indispensable, and not less so to country gentlemen, architects, and surveyors, who will find 

 it the best authority on the subject they can refer to." The Florist.
