It is such a joy to this reviewer's eyes to
rest for a few moments on the growing things of field and garden rather than the dull problems and philosophies of men, that we make no apology for commending Sutton's Bulbs as the pleasantest book this week. It is a catalogue, of course, rather than imaginative literature, but it arouses dreams and fancies in the reader's mind of next spring's snowdrops, and of how we shall renew the tennis court. - Canada is much in the public mind just now. With regard to investing money in that vast Dominion, the dictates of patriotism march so exactly with the natural desire for profit that we wonder more people have not taken advantage of opportunities for a safe if moderate return on their capital by purchasing some of the various sound securities available on the Canadian Stock market. Naturally a certain degree of caution is advisable. The Canada Year-Book for 1926 ($2 from the King's Printer, Ottawa—but why does not the High Commissioner sell it for English money in Trafalgar Square ?) supplies just that official and reliable information the investor or merchant is likely to require. This latest edition of the Year-Book is certainly not light reading, but the information is complete, up to date, well arranged and of absorbing interest to those who have been fortunate enough to know something at first hand of the growth of what will be one of the greatest
countries on earth.
