Bock Gardens : How to Make and Maintain Them. By

Lewis B. Meredith. (Williams and Norgate. Is. 6d. net.)—Mr. Meredith writes of experiences gathered in Ireland, but he has submitted his list of rock-garden plants to one of the officials at Kew. Kew is not peculiarly favoured by climate or soil; the list, therefore, may, as Mr. Meredith says, "be safely commended both to the novice and to the more experienced." The book, which is sufficiently illustrated, seems to give all the information and guidance that can be wished.
