We have received the third and fourth volumes of Cassell's

Popular Gardening. Edited by D. T. Fish. (Cassell and Co.)—Mr. Fish, who is assisted in one of these volumes by twelve, and in the other by thirteen collaborateurs, continues to carry on a very useful work. Both the flower and the fruit gardens receive due attention ; dwellers in cities have their case considered by special chapters, as "House, Area, and Window Gardening ;" in fact, all tastes are consulted. We notice some useful remarks on a very attractive kind of gardening, which is hardly as much followed as it might be, "Oat-of-door Aquaria." This is specially interesting, because it gives an opportunity of bringing together phenomena of animal and vegetable life.
