"Pictorial Practical Bulb-growing." By Walter P. Wright, 8vo. 

 152 pp. (Cassell, London.) Is. ; cloth, Is. 6d. 



A valuable and handy little book, dealing in a comprehensive and 

 practical form with both hardy and tender bulbs, insect foes, the best 

 varieties, cultural requirements, &c. A very useful book for the amateur 

 or gardener. 



" Pictorial Practical Chrysanthemum Culture." By Walter P. Wright. 

 8vo., 128 pp. (Cassell, London.) Is. ; cloth, Is. 6d. 



Like all this author's books, this is an excellent manual, dealing fully 

 with Chrysanthemum culture in all its phases, from the charming border 

 varieties up to the monstrosities of the exhibition board. Careful in- 

 structions are given on " taking " the bud, which really means "leaving" 

 the bud, and the would-be exhibitor will find all he wants to know, while 

 the grower of quantities of flowers will find a fund of good reliable 

 information. 



"Pictorial Greenhouse Management." By Walter P. Wright, 8vo., 

 144 pp. (Cassell, London.) Is. ; cloth, Is. 6d. 



An excellent little book, dealing briefly with the culture of greenhouse 

 plants, the selection of kinds and varieties, the proper structures, heating, 

 succession of flowers, and other practical matter, which will make this book 

 specially serviceable to the amateur. 



"Bulb Culture." By D. Grant Mclver. 8vo., 62 pp. (Dawbarn & 

 Ward, London.) 6d. 



A little book dealing with bulbs indoors and out, and a list of the best 

 varieties to. grow, but we are surprised that 'Empress' and ' Maximus ' 

 are omitted from the list of Daffodils at the end of the work, which are 

 two of the best varieties in our opinion. Again, Barr's bulb planter is a 

 much better instrument for planting bulbs in grass than the one figured 

 on page 1 1 ; but it is a good practical book that should prove useful to the 

 small grower. 



"Pictorial Practical Rose-growing." By Walter P. Wright, 8vo., 

 152 pp. (Cassell, London.) Is. ; cloth, Is. 6d. 



This is an excellent little work, and will be welcomed by all interested 

 in Roses and Rose culture. It tells the reader not only what to do, but 

 also, by means of illustrations, exactly how to carry out the instructions 

 given, and there are very few pages without one or more of these practical 

 illustrations. Almost everything bearing on Rose-growing is dealt with — 

 from inserting a cutting to laying out a Rose garden. The most helpful 

 little Rose book for the beginner that has yet appeared. 



" Roses and their Cultivation." By T. W. Sanders. 8vo., 162 pp. 

 (YY. II. & L. Collingridge, London.) 2s. 6d. net. 



A revised and enlarged edition of a small book by the same author 

 which came out a few years ago. Besides the usual information about 

 planting, budding, pruning, &c, it contains interesting descriptions of the
