Abstract
THE present generation of horticulturists is fortunate in the ever-increasing number of new contributions to garden beauty. Scientific hybridisation and selection have produced more pleasing shades of bloom, or enhanced symmetry of form from old favourites, whilst ardent botanists roam amongst the wilder parts of the world to find new grandeur for the rockery or herbaceous border. Plants from these sources which have stood the test of English cultivation are described (J. Roy. Hort. Soc., November) by Dr. Fred Stoker, who writes on “Ericaceous Plants” and Mr. Ben Wells, who discusses herbaceous subjects. Both accounts are well illustrated with excellent half-tone plates, and give many practical details.
