This book has been written to meet the requirements of amateur gardeners who need guidance as to the various methods of growing mushrooms for home consumption. It contains a wealth of information, supplied in a concise and lucid manner, on the culture of the mushroom on ridges or beds in the open air, in boxes and tubs in cellars, under greenhouse staging, in old hotbeds or in frames and also in pastures. This book was originally published in 1909 but all of its content is important and still valuable today. We are republishing it here with a new introduction on mushroom identification and foraging.

Here Among the Hypnotized is altogether a series of juxtapositions of man and God, the nature of man and the nature of God, the state of man apart from God and the state of man at peace with God. These works run the gamut from the utter folly and hopelessness of man when he worships himself and rejects God to the utter peace and joy of man when he admits his shortcomings and accepts God as his hope and salvation in this world and beyond.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION THE first edition of this book being out of print, a call for a second edition was imperative. In preparing it an opportunity was afforded of revision and addition. Since the first edition was issued, two new classes of roses, the Perpetual Flowering Musk and the Hybrid Lutea, have been recognised by rosarians. These classes have received attention in this edition. Moreover, in view of the increased prevalence of the disease, Black Spot, in our rose gardens, a more extended notice of this fungoid pest seemed needful. So the note on Black Spot has been entirely rewritten, and for the help afforded by Mr J. Fraser of Kew in drafting this new paragraph, the authors best thanks are due. In view of the more recent advance in the chemistry of soils and manures, Chapters VIT. and VIII., which deal with these subjects, have been revised by a brother rosarian, Mr Richard Woosnam, Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry. The author is greatly indebted to him for his most valued assistance. The Appendix of selected roses for general and special purposes has also been revised and, as far as possible, brought up to date. This was rendered necessary by the progress of the rose, a progress so rapid that roses which once were thought good have been superseded by improved varieties.IN the latter half of the nineteenth century the rose was regarded primarily as an exhibitors flower, and books on its cultivation, although useful to all growers, were written chiefly from m exhibitors point of view. But fashion has changed the rose is now extensively grown for garden and house decoration, for which no flower is more adaptable or more popular. Species, hybrids of species, varietiesold and new, summer flowering and perpetual, roses for pillars and pergolas, for bedding purposes and specimen bushes, all are in demand. The rose-growers horizon is wider than it, used to be, and it is in the hope of affording assistance in the cultivation of these many and varied classes of the Rose this book is offered. Among the many kind friends who have assisted me in the preparation of this book, I am greatly indebted to Alexander Dickson Sons of Newtomards, the eminent raisers of new roses, to whom I submitted the chapter on hybridisation to Dr. Cooke, the author of Fungoid Pests of Cultivated Plants, for his assistance in preparing the chapter on rose pests to Mr. George Mount, of Canterbury, well known for his beautiful roses grown under glass and by no means least of all to Mr. E. T. Cook, the editor of T Ga cZen, for reading the work in manuscript and giving me most valuable help. I also tender my acknowledgments to the firm of George Bell Sons for permission to make extracts from excellent works, The Soil and its Management, by Dr. Fream, and Manures and their Uses, by Dr. Griffiths to the Royal Horticultural Society for extracts from the Report of Conference on Hybridisation, and the sketch of mildew growth to the Director of the Hew Herbarium for assistance and permission to copy plates of roses. I am also indebted to Mr. W. Pauls book, The Rose Garden, and to Mr. T. Rivers Rose Amateurs Guide, and other authorities on the subject, a list of which is given at the end of the book...

"From Here to Home" is a depiction of a journey of observation and transformation, from a simplistic strictly materialistic world view to a greater consciousness and larger perspective of reality. Everything that is, and everything that happens in our immediate material surroundings can be seen as a representation of something greater, having a deeper meaning beyond the limited scope of the merely observable. No thoughtful person can exist for long without gaining an increasing appreciation for the immeasurable power, intelligence, and purity of the One who created us and everything around us. This leads to an examination of how mankind and a world full of imperfection can ultimately be reconciled to such a powerful and intelligent force as God.
