FOR ALL SEASONS
MY GARDEN, by Theo. A. Stephens; Faber «and Faber, English price 15/-. ‘) HIS is a book of notes on gardening at all seasons, that is, English seasons, and particularly southern English ones, each one dated and sometimes several under the heading covering a period of two or three years. All the notes, or the original versions of them, appeared as weekly articles in the Sunday Times from 1952 after the monthly magazine My Garden closed down, and Mr. Stephéns, who had owned and edited it, retired-as he thought. He expected his weekly column to keep him busy perhaps one morning a week; but in one week alone he received 6000 letters from the writing public, and in many weeks he had to read and deal with 1000 and more. The atmosphere, as the title suggests, is a personal one; the author has been a gardener for 40 years and has firm ideas on many gar-
dening subjects; and to judge from the magnificent photographs from two of his gardens his ideas are very sound. Not a gardening dictionary or guide, but a useful and readable pick-up-and-put-down and _ pick-up-again book; My Garden would be the sort of book to give the unfortunate gardener who is temporarily out of action or on the con-
valescent list.
