Those who heard Henry Beston at the Garden Club meeting last month will be interested in the review appearing in the New York Herald Tribune Books which reads: "One need not be an herb gardening enthusiast to find in this small volume a pleasure and a sense of peace too seldom discovered in books of horticultural intent. A few pages and one settles deeper into one's chair, shifts the light to a more convenient angle, for here is a rare blend of fancy, fact, of philosophy and clear humanness that cannot be escaped. Let one short quotation serve as the key; for the rest, you should be your own discoverer: A plant of balm
