The Gardeners' Chronicle says— “ ........ The book 
only contains some 128 pages, but within these limits 
Mr. Birkenhead manages to give a great deal of 
sound information on Ferns and their cultivation. 
........It is a hook that no Amateur can well dis- 
pense with.” 
The Journal of Horticulture says— “ The 
Author has said as much about Ferns, and said it 
well, as could be compressed into 128 pages 
The Work is well printed and profusely illustrated ; 
it is attractive as well as instructive, and an 
admirable shilling’s-worth.” 
Garden Work says— “ A cursory glance at 
the contents shows us that the Author, Mr. Birken- 
head, has dealt with the subject in a clear and con- 
cise manner, and being a practical man and most 
successful Fern grower, full reliance may be placed 
upon his instructions Altogether, it is a valu- 
able and welcome addition to Fern literature, and 
should he given a place in every Amateur’s library.” 
Amateur says— “........This is an 
excellent little volume, dealing in a thoroughly 
lucid and practical manner with the culture of 
Ferns "...Special pains appear to have been 
taken by the Author to render every phase of Fern 
culture perfectly clear, consequently the inexpe- 
rienced will find in the work information that 
cannot fail to be of great service ..It is just 
the book that was wanted for Amateur Gardeners, 
and the Author the man to write it, as few know 
more of Ferns than he does.”
