plants cultivated in this country, of which the leaves rather than the flowers are objects of interest. 
The exquisite and delic.ate forms of many ornamental plants common to the hothouses and green- 
houses of the wealthy are here depicted, with wonderful fidelity, in a series of beautiful 
iUustrations in the natoal colour of the plants.’ — The Bookseller,

‘A bit of information as to the pictures may bo acceptable. Pirst, observe the tinting of the 
leaves, and the groundwork of such a subject as Solunum margimunm as a sample of the whole. 
Then accept the infonnation that these pictm-cs are not chromo-lithographs, not coloured by hand; 
they are all, from first to last, wood engraoings, and we imagine, but cannot of course express any 
opinion on the subject, tli.at aa works of art, representative of the present state of an important 
industry, they are not simply interesting, but remarkable.’ — Gardeners’ Chronicle.

plates of species and varieties, and 909 wood engravings. The descriptions are 
written in a popular manner, containing much interesting information. The localities

By E. J. Lowe, Esa., E.E.S., E.E.A.S., &c. Illustrated with 479 finely 
coloured Plates. In Eight Volumes, super-royal 8vo., price £6 6s. 
‘A book which should contain ample meana of studying and identifying the Exotic species 
accessible to persona of moderate means, lias iiitlierto been a desideratum. This want the 
present work promises most hopefully to fill. It is admirahly “got up;’’ the plates are care- 
fully and prettily executed ; there is a neat Ulustrative woodcut at the head of each description, 
and the letterpress is full and practical, without being deficient in scientific accuracy. It ia 
reaUy the cheapest work for its cxcellonoo we have over seen, and should be “in the hands 
of eveiy gardener and every private person who cultivates these charming objects.” ’ — Athenamm,

and fifty-one new species, or new varieties of species that have been already figured in the 
preceding volumes.’ — Pryace.
