Horticultural Society for 1935 will be much appreciated by gardeners, because in addition to its customary useful information it has now been enlarged with the special object of giving greater assistance than ever 10 interested "in. horticulture and allied subjects. "The Society" does splendid work which can be com= pared only with that mysterious craft of creating oases in sandy deserts, It encourages Shanghailanders to cullis vote oases of flowers, trees and shrubs "amid this drab desert of cement, concrete and urbanity. As proof of the interest which a nature. Toving town dweller takes in this admirable craft the handbook's provi-slon of brief notes on the lay-out of small garden is significant The notes are supplied by no less an authority than Mr. W. J. Kerr whose credentials stand for all to see in the beauties of the Municipal Parks and Gardens. In fact this fascinating Uitte pamphlet may even be recommended {to those who possess no gardens, such as jail-birds and apartment-dwellers. For the expenditure of one dollar they can obtain 2 sense of hortfeultural glory which will do much to mitigate the rigours of their no doubt well merited chastisement. Perhaps the Society would be gracious enough to allow them to go further and by the expenditure of five dollars become full members of a fragrantly dlapasea organization.
