 piece.— By Shirley Hibberd. A Complete Guide to the Construction, 

 Heating, and Management of Greenhouses and Conservatories, and the 

 Selection, Propagation, Cultivation, and Improvement of Ornamental

"This book is well adapted for amateurs. It points out, in its earlier 

 chapters, the main considerations which affect the construction and heating 

 of conservatories and greenhouses. In the fourth chapter the amateur 

 is initiated in potting, composts, propagation, etc. Then follows a series 

 of chapters in which the treatment of the different groups and families 

 is explained, Greenhouse Herbaceous Plants leading the way, followed by 

 the Chrysanthemum, to which a chapter is given ; Soft-wooded Plants ; 

 Pelargoniums; Fuschias; Hard -wooded Plants; Ericas and Epacrises, 

 Camellias, Azaleas, and Rhododendrons ; Climbers ; Oranges, etc. Hard- 

 leaved Plants, as Agaves, DraccBnas, etc. Succulent-leaved Plants ;

 to a general selection of Greenhouse Plants ; another to Summer Cucumbers 

 and Seedling Pelargoniums; while others afford reminders of monthly 

 work. The volume is nicely printed and elegantly bound ; and, so far as 

 we have had the opportunity of testing it, seems to be Bound as to its 

 practical recommendations." — Qardentrf Chronicle.
