 V.M.H , and F. V. Theobald, M.A. 8vo., 97 pp. (E. Mawley, Berk- 

 hamsted, 1910.) 2s. 6d. 



This useful little book, by two acknowledged masters in their respec- 

 tive departments, will be read eagerly by the rose-grower, for no one 

 is more keen in the fight with pests than he. Here he will find almost 

 all he can want to know, and an excellent "Pest Calendar " telling 

 him what to look for in each month of the year, compiled by Mr. H. E. 

 Darlington. 



" The Alphabet of Gardening.*' By T. W. Sanders. Ed. 4, 8vo., 

 198 pp. (CoUingridge, London, 1909.) Is. 6d. net. 



It speaks well for this useful book that a fourth edition has been 

 issued. Having already reviewed previous editions, we need only add 

 that the reader cannot fail to get a clear grasp of all the subjects, the 

 text and diagrams being all so well done and so thoroughly practical. 



"The Eose Annual for 1910." Edited by E. Mawley. 8v.o., 

 174 pp. (E. Mawley, Berkhamsted, 1910.) 2s. 6d. 



Every rose grower ought to have this interesting and valuable book. 

 This issue is not larger than the previous ones, but contains articles 

 of really permanent value. The list of twenty-four roses for general 

 cultivation by H. E. Darlington, an excellent chapter on the 

 Hybridization of Eoses by Walter Easlea, plans of rose-gardens by 

 C. E. Shea, E. 0. Mount, Dr. A. H. Williams, and Miss Dorothy 

 Page-Eoberts, are full of interest, as is the article on the Treating and 

 Training of Weeping Standards by Alfred Tate, and are only a few of 

 the subjects that will be eagerly perused by readers. The National Eose 

 Society is deserving of all praise for publishing such a mass of informa-' 

 tion of the greatest value to all rose growers, in whatever part of the 

 kingdom they may be living. The illustrations are very good, and the 

 index at the commencement of the book is admirable. 



" 1500 Gardening Questions Answered." 8vo., 230 pp. (The 

 Cable Printing and Publishing Company, London, 1910.) Is. 



This book is a carefully compiled mass of questions and answers 

 propqrly classified and indexed. Perplexed readers of " Garden Life " 

 have written to the editor for information on horticultural matters, 

 and these questions have all been answered in a concise and practical 

 manner, altogether making a very interesting book full of sound, brief 

 information.

 1910.) 10s. net. 



We fear this book is too costly for a ready sale in this country ; 

 half the price would be more appropriate, for although it is beautifully
