The Garden Week by Week. By Walter P. Wright. (Grant
Richards. Cs, net.)—Mr. Wright thus describes the purpose of his book :—" It does not contain anything about Garden Art, nor about the general principles of gardening. It is composed of twelve practical chapters, subdivided so as to show seasonable work
for every week in the year The reader is told what operations to perform and what plants to grow every week." To give an example, by the time this meets the eyes of the reader who has a garden he will be thinking—unless, indeed, things have been very much backwarded by the cold winds—of gathering sweet- peas. This is how this operation is to bo done, for it is quite possible to tear up the whole plant in doing it :—" Take the flower stalk between finger and thumb quite at the base, and give a gentle squeeze and pull simultaneously." It will be seen, then, that Mr. Wright is eminently practical. The book is plentifully illustrated.
