pleasure and interest which even an othenvise busily occupied gentleman may derive from his 

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

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

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

 where to iwrn.'— Lancet.
