To those interested in the underlying philosophy of plant life, 
this volume, written in a most entertaining style, and fully illus- 
trated, will prove welcome. It treats of the modification of plants 
under cultivation upon the evolution theory, and its attitude on 
this interesting subject is characterized by the author’s well- 
known originality and independence of thought. Incidentally, 
there is stated much that will be valuable and suggestive to the 
working horticulturist, as well as to the man or woman impelled 
by a love of nature to horticultural pursuits. It may well be called, 
indeed, « philosophy of horticulture, in which all interested may 
find inspiration and instruction. 
Tue Survivar or THE Unuixe comprises thirty essays touch- 
ing upon The General Fact and Philosophy of Evolution (The Plant 
Individual Experimental Evolution, Coxey’s Army and the Russian
