Book Reviews 
Annuals and Biennials, by Gertrude Jekyll. Price $3.00. 
A charming book written so tactfully that it satisfies the ex- 
perienced gardener and stimulates the inexperienced worker among 
flowers. It contains most valuable suggestions for distinct groups of 
people, 
(1) The owners of new homes who have dreaded the bareness of 
their gardens for the first summer. 
(2) The tenant, who knowing not who will reap the benefit, 
refrains from planting perennials. 
(3) The social service worker who with a few packages of seed, 
and guided by the knowledge obtained in this book, can arouse pride 
in their surroundings among the people she visits. 
Miss Jekyll is evidently a foe to bare spots, for she has a remedy 
for each and every one, be its nature dry or wet, rich or rocky. The 
praise of annuals was never more happily sung. 
A joy of the book is its self-restraint in referring to seed catalogues, 
while the advice on color scheme is admirably simple, and made one 
want more of it. 
The chapter on "Flowers for Evening Perfume" was original, and 
makes one impatient to try the suggestions. 
The alphabetical list with descriptions is most helpful, while 
Part III, Chart of Color and Height, will prevent amateurs from fall- 
ing into many a pitfall. Clara Hadley Wait.
