MESSRS. MACMILLAN AND CO.'S PUBLICATIONS
A Year in a Lancashire Garden. By Henry A. Bright.
Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.
SPECTA TOR.—" A chronicle of gardening operations is not without interest,
but the author knows how to convert his chronicle into literature, by his know-
ledge and love of books."
TIMES.—" It is the true story of a year's gardening, written by an accom-
plished man, whose flowers tell him many stories and pleasant things not to be
found in the nursery-man's catalogue. ... A faithful and fascinating garden
story."
MANCHESTER EXAMINER.-—"There is not a dull page in the book,
which we recommend with all the more pleasure as the story of a year in a garden
in this country."
ATHENAEUM.—"Those who want a pleasant chatty companion will do
well to consult Mr. Bright's pages.'
The English Flower Garden. By the same Author. With
illustrative notes. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.
DAILY CHRONICLE.—"Mr. Bright's little book is excellent, both in
idea and execution, and amateurs may derive many valuable hints from it."
ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.—" Mr. Bright is known to all lovers of flowers
as the author of one of the most delightful books ever written about gardens. . . .
Nowhere will the reader who has just come into possession of a country garden,
and does not know what to do with it, find a clearer view of what gardens
have been and what they may be."
Villa Gardening. A Handbook for Amateur and Practical
Gardeners. By Edward Hobday, author of "Cottage
Gardening." Extra Crown 8vo. 6s.
SATURDAY REVIEW.—". . . There is much that merits commendation
in Mr. Hobday's book. The chapters on planting and all that relates to what
was once called landscape gardening are full of excellent sense and good taste,
the section on fruit Iculture is thoroughly practical and trustworthy, and the
calendar of work is one of the best of its kind. . . . Altogether Mr. Hobday's
handbook is a useful addition to the literature of the subject."
ACADEMY.—"An extremely well-arranged and thoroughly useful book for
the ordinary lover of a garden, and if the latter possesses a little glass or an
orchard house, ample directions for their management will also be here found."
HORTICULTURAL TIMES.—" Although primarily intended for amateur
gardeners there is much in it that will be found useful to those who do not come
within that designation. . . . On the whole the book deserves success, and wil
compare favourably with more pretentious works. It is very tastefully got up."
