FOR about half a century Mr. Paul has been labouring at the work of horticulture alike in the garden and at the desk. As a business man he has not confined himself simply to commercial routine. As an observer and an experimenter he has not been hedged in by the dogmas and prejudices of any particular school of science, and as a writer his aim has always been to record truthfully and instruct faithfully. It is a matter of congratulation, therefore, that the author should have gathered together in a convenient form some records of a lifetime's work. Contributions to Horticultural Literature. By William Paul (Waltham Cross, Herts: W. Paul and Son, 1892.)
