Sweet Peas. By Horace J. Wright. Paper 
boards, 8vo, 113 pp. and index. 8 colored 
plates. New York: Frederick A. Stokes 
Company. 65c. net. 
Pansies, Violas and Violets. By William

Here are two little volumes in a series 
under the title “Garden Flowers in Color,” 
edited by R. Hooper Pearson, Managing- 
Editor of The Gardners’ Chronicle. Each 
of the books takes up the history, culti¬ 
vation, diseases and principle varieties of 
its particular subject, with the last word 
on cultural methods. The illustrations in 
full color are usually good, being made di¬ 
rectly from the flowers themselves. As in 
the case of most of these books by English 
authors, the American reader has to make 
allowances for differences of season and 
climate. 
The Lure of the Antique. By Walter A. 
Dyer. Cloth, 8vo, 488 pp. and index. Il¬ 
lustrated. New York, 1910: The Century 
Company. $2.40 net. 
A very practical as well as interesting 
work that covers most of the objects 
sought after by collectors of the antique— 
furniture, clocks, lamps and candlesticks, 
china and pottery, glassware, silverware, 
pewter, Sheffield plate, brass and copper 
utensils and fireplace fixtures. Mr. Dyer 
has aimed — and successfully — to convey 
just the information that the amateur col¬ 
lector needs. Unlike many of the books 
on antiques this one does more than copy 
old bills of exchange and like records of 
our forefathers. The author tells just 
what there is to be found, under each sub¬ 
division, how to tell whether it is genuine 
and what it will probably cost. The illus¬ 
trations are many and good.

A lover of gardens, shut up in the city, 
has here fashioned a garden on paper—a 
garden of the spirit in which every lover 
of blossom and green may wander any 
month of the year in any weather and 
find that spiritual rest, those sentiments 
and memories, that the garden ever has 
and ever will stand for and awaken. The 
book is divided into twelve essays, one on 
each month of the year, and reflecting in 
the first place the sentiments of an absent 
garden lover for her kingdom, it will be 
read with joy by possessors and exiles 
alike.
