If we were asked what book we would recommend to a young gardener to 

 study entomology as a science, we should recommend the elementary works of 

 Mr. Westwood and Mr. Ingpen ; but, if the question were how to get a pracr 

 tical knowledge of insects, and the mode of defeating their attacks, without 

 much study of technicalities, we should unquestionably recommend Kollar, 

 as by far the best book for the practical gardener, forester, and farmer, hitherto 

 published in the English language. This work, and Dr. Lindley's Tlieory of 

 Horticulture, are two of the best gardening books that have been published 

 for several years.

We received the above little books under a cover, open at both ends like 

 those put on newspapers, with the words " Paid — under 2 oz." at the top 

 of the cover, and the words " E. Sang and Sons' Catalogues for 1840," 

 printed at the bottom. The package was pre-paid 4c?. We mention this as a 

 hint to other nurserymen. 



The Catalogue of Annuals is got up with great taste. There is a table of 

 packets from No. 1. to No. 8., varying in price from Gd. to 16^.; the first 

 containing four " of the prettiest sorts," and the last. No. 8., containing one 

 hundred " of the prettiest sorts," which, at 16^., is less than 2d. a sort. The 

 names of the 100 are given, and afterwards 229 sorts of annuals are shortly 

 described. We have no doubt that half a dozen seeds of the whole of these 

 229 sorts might be obtained for 2/. and that they would not weigh more than 

 a prepaid fourpenny letter. So great a number of sorts would make a magni- 

 ficent display in a flower-garden, without the aid of either perennials or bulbs ; 

 and the beauty of annuals is, that they will grow and flower in all climates 

 from the frigid to the torrid zone. 



The Fruit Tree Catalogue, by means of abbreviations, and a column of 

 remarks, contains a great deal of information, and the selection of fruits is 

 peculiarly adapted for Scotland. 



The Catalogue of Seeds and Implements contains a Kitchen-garden Kalendar, 

 arranged on one side of a folding leaf about the size of an octavo page, which 

 is a model of comprehensiveness and condensation. The Catalogue of Im- 

 plements is the most complete one which we have ever seen. It contains about 

 ]50 articles, with their prices varying from 3c?., the price of a common dibble, 

 to 22s. that of a brass syringe. Messrs. Sang's example, we trust, will be fol- 

 lowed by many other nurserymen, and prove beneficial to all.
