Johnson. Handsomely bound in Roxburgh—dark green leather back and green cloth 
sides—with lettering in gold and gilt top. Demy folio. $38.36 postpaid. 
“Mr. Dykes has succeeded Sir Michael Foster as the chief authority on the 
iris; and, like Foster, he has not been content with a merely botanical knowl- 
edge of it. Besides examining the herbarium collections at Kew, Berlin, 
Vienna, and other places, he has grown in his own garden, and, whenever 
possible, has raised from seed more species, probably, than anyone else in 
England, and perhaps than anyone else in the world. This book must be the 
basis of all future study of the subject, for it is the result of knowledge both 
practical and theoretical, and in that combination unique. The colored 
drawings by Mr. Round are not merely an ornament to the book. They are 
far more artistic in their simple accuracy than most modern drawings of the 
Same kind. . .. . The work does credit to the publishers as well as to the 
’ 
author and artist.”-—Times.
