"Abounds with plain common sense. The author shows himself too sound a practitioner for any one to be afraid to follow his advice. It is not too medical in its construction, being prepared with an evident intention to advise those who are much occupied in the library, the study, and the counting-house, with the nature of the disorders to which they are subject, and how to adopt measures of prevention, relief, and removal."—Bell's Weekly Messenger.

THE TOWN GARDEN,
A MANUAL
By SHIRLEY HIBBERD.
It is a mistake to suppose that Flowers cannot be cultivated in the vicinity of large towns and cities; true, many plants cannot live under such circumstances, but there are HUNDREDS THAT WILL. This little volume is an epitome of such, and while it teaches their successful cultivation, also points out the varieties to avoid. A Section is devoted to Greenhouse Management, In-door Gardening, and Window Plants, and Classified Lists are added of Selected Plants, with their Botanical Names—English Names—Proper Soil—Colour—Time of Flowering—Height—and General Remarks upon their Nature and Cultivation.
