 " The scientific knowledge and great experience of the 

 author in all that pertains to horticulture, 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. . . . On the 

 practical details of culture, the author gives, in addition to 

 his own opinion, the pith of what others have written on 

 the subject. . . We strongly recommend the * Book 



of the Garden.' To gardeners, in every way. it will be 

 indispensable, and not less so to country gentlemen, archi- 

 tects, and surveyors, who will find it the best authority on 

 the subject they can refer to." — The Ftorist.

 with it in comprehensiveness and ability ; and it will be an 

 indispensable possession for the practical gardener, whether 

 amateur or professional." — T/ie London Guardian.
