Abstract
IT is unusual to find a North American book on any aspect of practical horticulture which is of much direct value in Great Britain. Prof. J. S. Shoemaker, perhaps because he is primarily a man of science, has produced a book which is an exception to the rule. The reason lies in the method of approach to the subject, which is more through the requirements of the crop than its detailed culture. While it is true that much of the discussion on varieties has little application in Britain, yet, because of the closer horticultural links of Canada with the home country, many more English varieties are included than one would find in a book from the United States.
