A NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION OF THE FRUIT GARDEN
=By GEORGE BUNYARD, V.M.H.=, and =OWEN THOMAS, V.M.H.= Price 12s. 6d. net; by post, 13s.
=Royal Horticultural Society Journal.=--"Without any doubt the best book of the sort yet published. There is a separate chapter for every kind of fruit, and each chapter is a book in itself--there is, in fact, everything that anyone can need or wish for in order to succeed in fruit growing. The book simply teems with illustrations, diagrams, and outlines. The diagrams on pruning are particularly admirable; we cannot speak too highly of them, and from them anyone should be able to teach himself to be an expert pruner. The book winds up with 100 pages of outline drawings, which should be a wonderful aid to identification."
=Manchester Courier.=--"If in England fruit culture ever receives the attention which is imperatively demanded, the present volume will undoubtedly be looked back upon as a notable contributory factor to that result. It is not merely that the writers are men of the highest experience who are also clear and capable wielders of the pen, but they have laid under contribution the experiments, achievements, and lessons of other nations.... It would be impossible to find elsewhere, under one cover, such a mass of useful, stimulating, well-arranged and up-to-date information regarding fruit culture."
=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. Plain directions are given for the cultivation of the different sorts of fruits, their planting, pruning, and cropping, and the best sorts indicated."
SWEET VIOLETS AND PANSIES, AND VIOLETS FROM MOUNTAIN AND PLAIN
Written by several authorities, and Edited by =E. T. COOK=, Editor of THE GARDEN, Author of "Trees and Shrubs," &c. Price 3s. 6d. net; by post, 3s. 10d.
This interesting subject has never been treated in the same way as set forth in this illustrated book. There are chapters upon the culture of sweet violets in winter and in the open garden, upon Heartsease and the Tufted Pansies (Violas), and upon the Wild Violets that have been introduced from America and elsewhere. The information is thoroughly practical. It is a dainty gift-book to gardening friends.
