we may record Bissett's "Book of Water Gardening." This is not 

 the place to discuss the merits of tliese volumes as practical guides or 

 as teachers of art, but in all of them the skill of the photographer lias 

 been fully utilized in supplying illustrations, and these the systematic 

 botanist may find of considerable interest. Another finely illustrated 

 work is Perredes's "London Botanic Gardens," lecently reprinted in 

 book form. 



The interest in tliese matters is further evidenced by Baker's dis- 

 cussion of the problems of horticultural education (Journ. Roy. Hort. 

 Soc, 22:152-1(32. 1907); True's consideration of the advisability of 

 the introduction of elementary agriculture into schools (Yearb. U. S. 

 Dep. Aorie., HKXj : 1 .")1-154. 1907); and Cook's arguments in favor 

 of agriculture as the basis of education (Monist, 17:^47-364. 1907).
