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 sound as to its practical recommendations. ” — Gardener s
