The following Critical Notices have appeared of this Book.
“It is practical throughout; the book will be useful and acceptable.”—Gardeners’ Chronicle.
“For any one with tastes and opportunities for gardening, it may be recommended as of more enduring value than books of greater interest for the superficial reader.”—Standard.
“An elegant and charmingly illustrated volume. It is intended for those who possess what may be called ‘homely’ gardens as distinguished from great and grand gardens; and it is wonderful to find under the author’s guidance how much may be made of ever so small a piece of garden ground.”—Leeds Mercury.
