Abstract
THE fact that this work of reference has reached its third edition, and that its price has been reduced, proves that its usefulness is now generally recognised. It is, indeed, a book of convenient size and shape, which anyone whose interests are largely bound up in horticulture will find useful to have on his writing-table. As everyone knows who follows this pursuit, minor problems are cropping up almost every day of one's life. The strength of an insecticide or a manure, some simple way of ascertaining the height of a tree without climbing it, the right dimensions of a lawn tennis court, how to make a grafting wax: these are samples of the kind of question for which those concerned with gardens are constantly needing an answer. This the “Horticultural Note-Book” sets out to supply, and we do not find that it often fails.
The Horticultural Notebook.
