‘“The Vegetable Garden” is a complete and an authoritative work upon all that concerns vegetables, and stands unique among works on the subject. It should be on the bookshelf of everyone interested in vegetables, for it is not a work for the grower alone.’—Garden.

‘An excellent and up-to-date textbook. . . . The complete knowledge of the soil and the part it plays in the nutrition of the plants requires investigation along three lines, which may be roughly classed as—chemical, physical or mechanical, and biological. It is exactly these with which the author deals, and although it is in no sense an exhaustive treatise, a general outline has been given of all the recent investigations which have opened up so many soil problems, and thrown new light on difficulties that are experienced in practice.’—Gardeners’ Chronicle.
