Some New Garden Books : 
In a Tuscan Garden

This work is explained by its title. It is adorned with illustrations 
worthy of such an attractive subject. The narrative of the 
experiences of an English lady-gardener in her Italian home will be 
found at once diverting and informative. She throws a strong 
light on the character of her native neighbors. 
In My Vicarage Garden and Elsewhere

shire Garden,’’ etc. With photogravure portrait of the author as 
frontispiece. umo. Price, $1.50, net. 
This serves as a sociable and chatty monthly “Vademecum” for 
garden-lovers, to tell them what to sow and when to sow it, and 
to give advice of every useful kind pertaining to the subject. 
Stray Leaves from a Border Garden 
By Mary Pamela Milne-Home. With eight illustrations by 
F. L. B. Griggs. iamo. Price, $1.50, net. 
This is one of those attractive “pot-pourri’’ volumes on out-door 
subjects—garden-lore, bird-lore, folk-lore—a diary of facts and 
theories that “reads away” a pleasant hour or two with profit to 
the reader. 
Garden Craft, Old and New 
By J. D. Sedding. With nine illustrations, 8vo. $2.50, net. 
A book that treats of a subject much in vogue to-day—the laying 
out of gardens, formal and “architectural.” This is its first appear¬ 
ance in America, though in England it is looked upon almost as a 
classic.
