Daily Chronicle.—"All the roses of England, blossoming in a counterfeit summer of black and white, seem to be gathered together into Miss Jekyll's charming book. The pictures are really pleasant to look at; near or far a rose photographs quite as well as a beautiful face, and carries with it its own individual look. No one can fail to be captured by Miss Jekyll's enthusiasm and fine discrimination."
LILIES FOR ENGLISH GARDENS
Written and compiled by Miss GERTRUDE JEKYLL. 8s. 6d. net; by post, 8s. 10d.
Westminster Gazette.—"'Lilies for English Gardens' is a volume in the 'Country Life' Library, and it is almost sufficiently high commendation to say that the book is worthy of the journal. Miss Jekyll's aim has been to write and compile a book on Lilies which shall tell amateurs, in the plainest and simplest possible way, how most easily and successfully to grow the Lily—which, considering its great beauty, is not grown nearly so much as might be expected. We certainly think that in the future there will be less neglect of this flower, for after looking at some of the illustrations (all admirable and admirably produced), there will not be many garden owners who will be content to be Lilyless."

Times.—"'Wall and Water Gardens.'—He who will consent to follow Miss Jekyll aright will find that under her guidance the old walls, the stone steps, the rockeries, the ponds or streamlets of his garden will presently blossom with all kinds of flowers undreamed of, and become marvels of varied foliage. More than a hundred photographs help to enforce Miss Jekyll's admirable lessons."
