It has occurred to me that the Book Review may be eliminated, 

 and the space thus used be devoted to the extension of OUR 

 Garden Forum. In this number you will notice I have car- 

 ried out this idea and it gives me the opportunity of printing 

 in its entirety, Mr. Howard's interesting article on "The Use 

 and Abuse of Garden Ornament." 



Through the kind thoughtfulness of a friend who visited them 

 in June, I am able to include in this number the series of 

 pictures of the Roseraie de L'Hay-les-Roses, probably the 

 most famous gardens of their kind near Paris, and with their 

 Museum of Roses constituting one of the most interesting col- 

 lections of rose lore in the world.
