Ever Sell Water? 
You'll be surprised, maybe, but it is a fact that 
water will sell quicker and at a higher price than 
servants for carrying water about your house, and 
your barn for watering the stock, washing the 
any crop you raise. Take, for instance, two vehicles not to mention the garden’s neces- 
sary supply. Put in a Hot-Artr Pump now, 
before you are a day older, for once installed it

The Vegetable Garden. 
The McClure Company, New York, 1908; pp. 256, illus- 
trated. Price $1.50 net. 
By Ida M. Bennett. 
This is a companion book to Miss 
Bennett’s “The Flower Garden.” It dis- 
cusses in a general way the preparation 
of a vegetable garden, its planning and 
location and the raising of the favorite 
kitchen garden crops. Supplementary chap- 
ters discuss the garden’s enemies and spray- 
ing mixtures. 
Soils and Fertilizers. By Harry Snyder. The 
Chemical Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1908; pp. 294. 
Price $1.50. 
An elementary scientific treatise explain- 
ing in popular terms the action of different 
soil substances and their relations to crops. 
A book for the student rather than for the 
practical cultivator, but it will answer a 
great many questions and problems of 
fertility that bother most amateurs, 
Flower Decoration in the House. By Gertrude 
Jekyll. Imported by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 
1908; pp. 98, illustrated. Price $2.00 net. 
A thoroughly practical book for English 
conditions, treated in the form of a calendar 
showing the possibilities for each month. 
That part of it would not appeal directly 
to American readers, but the principles 
of floral arrangements and the illustrations 
that are given cannot but convey many very 
important suggestions, 
everyday flowers that everybody knows are 
used in the compositions. Miss Jekyll 
borrows a great many of her ideas from the 
Japanese school of floral arrangement and 
very strongly urges the proper harmony 
of the receptacle to the flower that it holds. 
London Parks and Gardens. By the Hon, Mrs. 
Evelyn Cecil, with illustrations by Lady Victoria Manners. 
E. P. Dutton Company, New York, 1907; pp. 384. Price 
$6.00 net, 
A very appreciative discussion of the 
garden features of parks of the world’s 
metropolis. Special chapters are devoted 
to each of the leading parks as well as the 
converted burial grounds, squares, historical 
gardens and a few of the most famous private 
gardens of London. The illustrations by 
Lady Manners are all color plates and 
convey very successfully the peculiar charm 
of the London atmosphere. The treatment 
is very largely historical. We learn that 
there are 6,000 acres of park land in London 
apart from the private gardens, which are 
now very much reduced in size.
