Abstract
THIS is an excellent book, by an author who understands the practical side of the cultivation of vegetables. We are in agreement with his comment that far more knowledge may be definitely obtained from careful reading than is realised by the majority of those whose living depends upon the land. Here there is much to be gleaned that will encourage the market gardener, as well as those who work on allotments or maintain small garden plots in outer London and suburban areas. Cultivators in the last category are increasing in number without doubt, and have a special freemasonry of their own to boot.
Practical Vegetable Growing.
By J. W. Morton. Pp. 180 + 8 plates. (London: Ernest Benn, Ltd., 1928.) 10s. 6d. net.
