Abstract
ALL who grow Cacti will be glad to learn that the third volume of this fine work has been issued. It will probably appeal to a larger number ofj Cactus fanciers than the two preceding volumes/ because it treats chiefly of the smaller kinds, which arei more generally cultivated than the columnar or climbing species. This volume is of the same high standard of excellence as the two others, and as an account was given in NATURE of July 7, 1921 (vol. 107, p. 580) of the general character, scope, and details of the work, it will be unnecessary to repeat them here.
The Cactaceae: Descriptions and Illustrations of Plants of the Cactus family.
By N. L. Britton J. N. Rose. Vol. 3, pp. vii + 255, with 24 plates. (Washington: Carnegie Institution, 1922.)
