'An excellent and up-to-date textbook. . . . The complete knowledge of the soil and the part it plays in the nutrition of the plants requires investigation along three lines, which may be roughly classed as—chemical, physical or mechanical, and biological. It is exactly these with which the author deals, and although it is in no sense an exhaustive treatise, a general outline has been given of all the recent investigations which have opened up so many soil problems, and thrown new light on difficulties that are experienced in practice.'—Gardeners' Chronicle.

'Not so big that it need frighten the ardent amateur, nor so much of a primer that it may be disdained by the fairly accomplished gardener, it has a good scheme. The first part, consisting of eight chapters of general principles, in simple non-technical language, is a model of useful information in a small space; the second part deals with departments of gardening; the third, with types of flowers, and the fourth is a calendar to work By.'—Daily Chronicle.
