FOR GARDENERS
A HANDBOOK OF BULBS AND PERENNIALS, by Richmond E. Harrison, illusoe in colour; published by the author, 7OR thirty years the author of this book has been collecting information about bulbs and perennials suitable for growing in the southern hemisphere; much of his knowledge, and much of the information in this book, has already been passed on to gardeners in New Zealand in magnificently illustrated catalogues issued free each year. But now Mr. Harrison has put out this bound bock with more than 200 pages and several hundred illustrations in quite superb colour; and many gardeners will undoubtedly be grateful to him and may indeed wish that he would do for shrubs, for instance, what he has done for the perennials. The book is not only fully illustrated with half-tone and colour photographs; it is made of feal use to the amateur gardener through the very full and detailed advice on the growing of every plant mentioned. This advice is in every case addressed particularly to the southern hemisphere gardener: and that is something the New Zealander reader will fully appre-
ciate.
