Bulbs and their Cultivation. By T. W. Sanders. (W. H.

and L. Collingridge. 2s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Sanders divides his treatise into two parts. In the first he deals with hardy, or outdoor, bulbs; in the second with indoor bulbs, the latter being distils+ guished by the character of the houses in which they are grown, hot, warm, cool, and cold. Lists of kinds suitable for each sort of culture, directions for dealing with "pests and diseases," and other matters are added. This is a very useful treatise, especially because the bulb can be utilised in one way or another by every one. What can be easier than growing hyacinths ? What more satisfactory than the result ?
