 less than 25 numbers each. Considering that in the oth edition {1895) ot the 

 London Cat. there are 104 species and 1 10 varieties, 214 in all, the subscribers 

 to this series will receive more than half this number of specimens. That all the 

 so-called varieties are worth representing is, we suppose, a question to be decided

 reformed or deficient in foliage, owing to the struggle for existence ; wnerea> 

 plants grown on suitably poor soil and free from crowding, give specimens sucn 

 as may be found in nature under favourable circumstances.' The subscription i*
