Abstract
THE two volumes under notice are official publications of the Royal Horticultural Society. The first is the report of the Conifer Conference held by the Society in 1931, and its 634 pages are filled with information on conifers. Forty years had passed since the previous Conifer Conference was held, and during that time many new species had been introduced—therefore the Conference had a peculiar interest to all who are concerned with trees. Every effort was made to ensure the success of the undertaking, and visitors were unanimous in their opinion that no such collection of plants and cut specimens had ever before been brought together.
