By Frank J. Scott. John B. Alden, New York.

If the wish is ever father to the thought, we must take credit for the appearance of this beautiful work, the suspension of the publication of which by the Appletons we have so often regretted. As recently remarked in our notice with the portrait of its author, Frank J. Scott, it is a work of which American horticulturists have cause to be proud. Its influence on landscape gardening must be very great, and now, when there promises to be a revival in the lovely art, its presence is particularly timely.
