No. 479] NOTES AND LITERATURE 



823 



A special subscription edition of Bailey and Miller's Cyclopedia 

 of American Horticulture has been issued by Doubleday, Page and 

 Co., of New York, in six volumes bound to match their "Nature 

 Library." To what was said of the first edition, from 1900 to 1902, 

 in the Naturalist need only be added that the present (fourth) edition 

 contains corrections of detected errors and a conspectus of families 

 and genera prepared by Mr. Miller, while the number of illustrations 

 has been greatly increased. 



Under the title Ilortus Veitchii, Mr. J. H. Veitch has privately 

 printed a sumptuous quarto history of the great plant house of which 

 he is now the head, which is of interest especially for the biographic 

 skctcluvs of its many explorers and hybridists and the remarkable 

 list of j)laiits orijfiiiatcd or introduced to European gardens by them. 

 Numerous cxcellcMit ilhistrations add to its attractiveness.
