Tablet.—"It is a compilation by men who know their work, and deals with the whole question in the most practical manner. None of the writers waste words in mere description or exhortation.

This interesting subject has never been treated in the same way as set forth in this illustrated book.

The information is thoroughly practical. It is a dainty gift-book to gardening friends.
