Haggard, (Henry) Rider. Gardener’s year. [*]$4. Longmans.
There are two gardens described in this book, one on the eastern shore of Suffolk, where the author, by planting a certain beach-grass, has successfully checked the inroads of the sea, and the other at Ditchingham, where he has three acres under cultivation. He has six glass houses and two ponds in which he grows aquatic plants. With the assistance of two gardeners he raises fruit, vegetables and flowers, making a specialty of orchids. There are 25 illustrations from photographs.
“In the volume under notice he details his joys and sorrows as a gardener in a manner which is well nigh certain to prove very acceptable to the vast army of garden lovers.”
