SCOTTISH GARDENS. 
By the Rt. Hon. Sir HERBERT MAXWELL, Bart. 
Illustrated in Colour by MARY M. G. WILSON, 
Member of the Society of Scottish Artists. 
With 32 Full-page Coloured Plates. Crown 4 to, 21s, net. 
Also an Edition de Luxe , limited to 250 copies , at £2 2s. net. 
This work is the outcome of a desire to produce a volume worthy 
in every respect of the beautiful gardens of Scotland. Sir Herbert 
Maxwell, whose knowledge of the subject is probably unique, is 
personally acquainted with the places described, and has throughout 
been in consultation with the artist, Miss Wilson. Visitors to her 
studio in Edinburgh, or the exhibitions of her work in London, will 
need no further testimony to the charm of her pictures, which are 
here reproduced with the utmost care and on the largest feasible 
scale. 
One of the objects of the work is to dispel certain popular fallacies 
as to the rigours of the Scottish climate. Its chief aim, however, is 
to present a typical selection of Scottish garden scenes representing 
all styles and all scales, modest as well as majestic, and formal as 
well as free, so that the possessor of the humblest plot of ground 
may be stimulated to beautify it, with as fair hope of success, in 
proportion, as the lord of many thousand acres. 
ALPINES AND BOG-PLANTS. 
By REGINALD FARRER, 
Author of ‘ My Rock Garden,’ etc. 
With Illustrations., Large Crown 8 vo. y§. 6d. net. 
Like most hobbies, rock-gardening provides an endless topic of 
interest for its devotees, and the lore of the subject is inexhaustible. 
At any rate, Mr. Reginald Farrer, who is a recognized authority on 
the art, by no means exhausted his stock of information and anecdote 
in his previous work, ‘ My Rock Garden.’ That garden, as most of 
his fellow-enthusiasts know, is on the slopes of Ingleborough in 
Yorkshire, and it is a place of pilgrimage for the faithful of this cult. 
As a writer, Mr. Farrer combines a light and genial style with sound 
practical information, so that his books are at once readable and 
instructive. Some idea of the scope of the present volume may be 
gained from the list of chapters, which is as follows : 1. Of Shrubs 
and their Placing. 2. Of Shrubs, Mostly Evergreen. 3. Ranun- 
culacese, Papaveracese, Cruciferse. 4. A Collecting Day above 
Arolla. 5. Between Dianthus and Epilobium. 6. From Epilobium 
on through Umbelliferse and Composite. 7. Of Odd Treasures. 
8. The Big Bog and its Lilies. 9. The Greater Bog Plants. 10. Iris. 
11. The Mountain Bog. 12. More of the Smaller Bog Plants. 
13. The Water Garden.
