A Practical and Scientific Exposition of the Art of Gardening in all its Branches. By Robert Thompson, of the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens, Chiswick, etc. New Edition, revised and entirely remodelled under the general Editorship of William Watson, f.r.h.s., Curator, Royal Gardens, Kew, with contributions by many eminent specialists. With many illustrations in colour and black-and-white. In 6 divisional-volumes, imperial octavo, bound in cloth; also in 2 handsome volumes, Roxburghe library binding.

As the book covers the whole subject, from the laying out of the ground to the packing of flowers, fruits, and vegetables for market, it should be indispensable to gardeners. To country gentlemen it will be of the greatest value in giving them an all-round view of both the principles and the practice of modern gardening. For all who cultivate flowers, whether in gardens, under glass, or in window-boxes, the book will be invaluable. The subject of Floral Decoration, too, receives particular attention.

Everything has been done that could be done to elucidate the text by the free use of illustrations. These represent recent gardening appliances, houses, heating apparatus, flowers, trees, etc.
