make the book worth having for their- sakes alone As a sort of recital of the pure 



pleasui'e and interest which even an otherwise busily occupied gentleman may derive from his 

 garden, the book is of much value.' — Field.

nature which are too often disregarded because they are common.' — Pall Mall Gazette.

 which the lover of a good garden finds it necessary to know, but for which he does not knon 

 where to turn.' — Lancet.
