Trees and Shrubs in Poor Soils {Garden, No. 1,589, p. 281 ; 

 3/5/1902). — An interesting leading article in which the writer calls 

 attention to the fact that some classes of trees and shrubs are especially 

 successful on poor land. A list of suitable subjects is given. — E. T. C. 



Trees, Young, and Sunstroke (Garden, p. 157 ; 13/9/1902), — A 

 very interesting ariicle upon a matter little noticed in gardens. The first 

 marks of sunstroke are seen in the shape of longitudinal cracks in the 

 bark, which is slightly browned and flattened, as if there were a hollow 

 underneath. The part affected is from about one foot to three feet in 

 length and from one inch to three inches in width. If the bark is cut 

 away the wood beneath will be found perfectly firm, but hard and dry, 

 more a piece of seasoned wood than part of a growing tree. Sunstroke 

 must not be confounded with the ravages of the caterpillars of the goat 

 moth and wood leopard moth, the external signs of which are much the 

 same.— E. T. C.

 bulb is large ; the outer coats are very thin and of a pale brown colour, 

 covered on the inside with long silky hairs. It is nearest in botanical 

 position to T. altaica of Pallas and T. Eichlcri, Regel. A detailed 

 description of the plant is given. — G. S. S.
