THE GARDEN ALBUM AND REVIEW. 
25 
TRILLIUM NIVALE. 
This charming little Liliaceous plant will 
soon be pushing its leaves and flowers through 
the ground as shown in the drawing. It is a 
native of the Northern United States, but is not 
so large or apparently so vigorous as the well- 
known Wake Robin (T. grandiflorum). It has 
a tuberous rootstock, and only grows 3 or 4 
inches high. The ovate oblong leaves are 
almost stalkless, leaves are borne in whorls 
of three. The flowers also are composed of 
whorls of three, the outer whorl being smaller 
and like sepals, and alternating with the inner 
whorl of 3 larger pure white petals. 
T. nivale is a charming little plant for 
sheltered nooks in the rockery, or for growing 
in pots or pans in a cold greenhouse.

AS OTHERS SEE US. 
I am much pleased with the first number of 
the Garden Album and Review, and consider 
it most excellent value for its very moderate 
price. The Onco-Regelia plate is delicate and 
beautiful, but the portrait of Impatiens Oliveri 
is too red ; its flowers are delicate blush. The 
letterpress is also very good, and the reference 
index to articles in other horticultural journals 
is, I think, a specially good and valuable feature. 
I have pleasure in sending you my own sub¬ 
scription and also that of three florist neighbours 
and friends.— W. E. Gumbleton, Belgrove, Queens¬ 
town 3 Co. Cork. 
The Garden Album and Review is a new 
magazine devoted to horticultural interests, and 
will be published monthly. Excellent coloured 
plates illustrate it, and it should prove of great 
value to the amateur gardener .—The Daily Mail. 
Many thanks for the Garden Album. I like 
it much, and from the very bottom of my heart 
I wish you every success. I see no reason in 
the world why it should not be a big success.— 
Amos Perry, Winchmore Hill. 
I have addressed by postal order to-day 
subscription and beg you to kindly enlist me 
among the subscribers to the Garden Album 
and Review. I think it a very nice publica¬ 
tion, and wonderfully cheap for what it gives.— 
C. G. van Tuber gen, Haarlem. 
I have carefully perused your new publica¬ 
tion—the Garden Album and Review —and 
must say I am delighted to see its advent, for it 
is a decidedly good addition to the present 
garden literature. I must congratulate you 
upon the quality of paper, type, and articles of 
such general interest, also the coloured plates. 
I consider it a cheap 6d. worth, and cordially 
wish it and you all possible success. 
Personally I shall be glad to assist you with 
copy when things of interest present themselves; 
and if all who can will help you it will become 
a regular denizen of the horticulturists’ book¬ 
shelves, and form a good reference work. A 
paper that goes into all matters from an Onion 
to an Odontoglossum should commend itself to 
all of us. 
Your reference index to articles in other 
papers is an excellent idea, and cannot be too 
comprehensive —that alone to me will be very 
useful indeed. I hope the success of the 
Garden Album will soon enable you to make 
it a fortnightly or even a weekly issue .—De B. 
Crawshay, Sevenoaks. 
We have received the first number of the 
Garden Album and Review, a new illustrated 
monthly magazine of horticulture. It is extra¬ 
ordinarily cheap, containing four well-executed 
and well-coloured plates and sixteen pages of 
letterpress, with illustrations, at the cost of 
sevenpence net. The interest appealed to is, 
of course, mainly horticultural, but the cheap¬ 
ness of the book will probably secure it 
subscribers amongst those who like pretty 
pictures at small cost, and it certainly deserves 
encouragement .—Journal of Botany.
