BOOKS AND NOTES ON PERFUMES 85 
to which I am largely indebted in the preparation of 
this book. 
1893. Schimmel & Co., Leipzig, ‘‘ List of Essential Oils, 
_ Organic and Synthetic Products.” <A very handy 
pamphlet enumerating about one hundred and fifty 
essential oils and about fifty organic and synthetic 
products, showing what parts of the plant yield the 
oils, and the main constituents of the products derived 
from the oils, and their chemical composition. 8vo. 
Leipzig: Frederick Groher. 
1894. Nineteenth Century, April number, in a paper on 
<< A Neglected Sense ”—the sense of smell—describes 
the Japanese scent game elsewhere alluded to. 
1895. ‘‘ History of Gardening in England.” Miss A. 
Amherst describes the monastery gardens and infirm- 
arians, gardens in which herbs for food and herbs for 
healing were grown. 
1895. M‘Donald, Donald, <‘‘Sweet-scented Flowers 
and Fragrant Leaves.” Being interesting associations 
gathered from many sources, with notes on their 
history and utility. With an introduction by W. 
Robinson, and 16 coloured plates. ‘This is a charm- 
ing little book on the subject, and contains a very full 
list of perfumed or scented plants for the garden. 
There are good lists of Scented-leaved Geraniums 
(Pelargonia), Roses, and Orchids. ‘The introduction 
alone is well worth the price of the book, being a 
nervous and well-studied bit of prose by a past 
master in fragrant plants and gardens beautiful. 
1896. Ellacombe, Henry N. Canon, etc., ‘‘ The Plant 
Lore and Garden Craft of Shakespeare.” New edition, 
illustrated. London and New York: Edwin Arnold. 
One of the very best of the many works dealing with 
the plants of Shakespeare’s time, and full of interest to 
all garden lovers.
