 " Not so big that it need fnp;hten the ardent amateur, nor so much of a primer that 

 it may be disdained by the fairly accomplished gardener, it has a good scheme. The 

 first part, consisting of eight chapters of general prmciples, in simple, non-technical 

 language, is a model of useful information in a small space ; the second part deals wiih 

 departments of gardening ; the third, with types of flowers ; and the fourth is a calendar 

 to work by."' — Daily Chronicle.

 *' Excellent and up-to-date. . . . The complete knowledge of the soil and the part it 

 plays in the nutrition of the_ plants requires investigation along three lines, which may- 

 be roughly classed as — chemical, physical, or mechanical and biological. It is exactly 

 these with which the author deals, and although it is in no sense an exhaustive treatise 

 a general outline has been given of all the recent investigations which have opened up 

 so many soil problems, and thrown new light on diflicullies that are experienced in 

 practice." — Gardeners^ Chronicle.
