'•Suc> a volume is not for the million, but the price, eight guineas, will not be 
grudged by amateurs who have made a speciality of this noble subject, or intend to 
do s«i. The. may derive from it practicallv all there is to be learnt about the 
rbododen rons. , . . But the most eloquent testimonies in the volume are those 
of the artists 1 he water<u|our studies by ihe ladies, both of individual blooms 
and of garden F-cenes, have been reproduced most admirably, and aff ;rd a feast of 
colour." — Kor*iAfr* fast.
