SUNDIAnS AND ROSES OF YESTERDAY, by 
Alice Morse Earle. This writer is well 
known for her charming descriptions of 
the manners and customs of the Colonial 
and Revolutionary periods, as well as for 
her garden literature. Her preceding 
work, “Old-Time Gardens,” contained a 
single chapter on dials, and this caused 
many requests for further Information. 
Mrs. Earle writes of the sentiment and 
charm of sundials, their construction and 
symbolism, the text being enriched by 
many beautiful illustrations. The chapters 
devoted to roses give many little-known 
facts about them, and the sayings of divers 
fa mods folks about them are quoted. The 
book possesses rare charm for the garden 
lover, and will be found delightful even 
by those mistaken people who do not find 
their keenest pleasures “next to the 
ground.” Published by the Macmillan 
Company, New York; 446 pages, numerous 
Illustrations; price $2.50 net.
