"A Handy Book of Horticulture." By F. C. Hayes, M.A. (John 

 Murray, Albemarle Street, London.) 2$. 6d. 



A book which should prove very useful to young gardeners. It is 

 written in plain, simple language which beginners can understand, and 

 contains much information necessary to successful flower and vegetable 

 culture. The chapter on hot beds and cold frames, though short, is 

 helpful, while the advice on the best method to make the most of small 

 gardens will be valued by many amateurs. The monthly calendar at the 

 end of the book is excellent. Besides some useful woodcuts, there are 

 several full-page illustrations, among which many will be pleased to see 

 one of the garden at Edge Hall, Cheshire, the home of that veteran 

 hardy plant grower, the Rev. C. Wolley Dod, V.M.H. 



" Orchard and Bush Fruit Pests, and How to combat them." By 

 Cecil Warburton, M.A., F.Z.S. (John Murray, Albemarle Street, 

 London.) 6d. 



This pamphlet gives the life-history and describes the ravages on 

 fruit trees of such insect pests as the winter moth, slugworms, red spider, 

 codlin moth, Apple sawfly, gall mite, the Raspberry beetle, and others. 

 The method of fighting and destroying these enemies of orchards and 

 bush fruit is clearly described and will be found effective.
