Three Crops a Year : Romance of the " Wonder
Plot." By W. G. Moore and Alfred Smith. (Romance Publishing Com- pany, 53 Sydenham Park, S.E. 26. 2s. 6d, net.)—Mr. Moore in 1917 began to cultivate a small piece of waste land near the Albert Hall. Mr. Smith in this entertaining pamphlet describes how Mr. Moore has made his plot produce an abundance of• vegetables, which, together with his rabbits and bees, yield him an income at the rate of £500 an acre. Mr. Moore's secret lies in good spade-work, very heavy manuring, and constant attention to his little garden. It is rather misleading to speak of vegetables grown at their successive seasons as " three crops a year," but Mr. Smith may be forgiven for his enthusiasm at discovering that a forlorn piece of building land in Kensington could be made to yield anything at all.
