A Year's Gardening. By Basil Hargrave. (T. Werner Laurie. Cs.
net.)—Mr. Hargrave begins with a calendar "giving a series of jobs for each day in the year," and goes on to instruct his readers in a clear and competent manner on such matters as alpine, rock, wall, and window gardening, the making and the care of lawns, and the cultivation of fruit, vegetables, and flowers. This will be a valuable book to people who depend on their own brains and the muscles of a "useful man" for getting some of the necessaries of life out of a small garden, while the owner of a "head" gardener will find much to interest him in the more decorative aspects of the subject. The book is well illus- trated with a number of good photographs, many of which show such charming woodlands and garden paths that the reader will long to reproduce them in his own domain.
