The Vegetable Garden Calendar. By D. S. Fish. (Dawbarn. and
Ward. 6d. net.)—A plan is given for every month, the method used being to fill in with names the divisions of a plot of ground. These divisions are ten in number, and each is sub- divided into ten parts. In the February plan, for instance, January being a mensis son, we have the top division, with three subdivisions marked "nursery," one for "earliest peas" and "second peas," three for "broad-beans," and two for "cauli- flowers." In March the same division has three for "nursery," three for "peas," and two each for " broad-beans " and "cauli- flowers." (Broad-beans seem to have more space than they deserve.) Each plan is followed by notes, and there is a variety of miscellaneous information. It should be said that the directions are adapted to the latitude of Edinburgh, and must be modified for other regions.
