A review from the Foreign Correspondence column of Garden and Forest, written from London by W. Watson, of A. B. Freeman Mitford's book The Bamboo Garden. It traces the recent introduction of hardy bamboos into English gardens, especially at Kew and Batsford, and summarizes the book's chapters and the 45 hardy species it describes. It also comments on Alfred Parsons's illustrations and quotes Mitford's description of his Batsford garden.
