The east gate is comparatively little used, opening as it 

 does on to one of the country roads, the Emsall Road. It is 

 spoken of later as the Emsall Gate. 



The third gate, the south-western, is situated close to the 

 cemetery, and lies behind the Cathedral. Although a little 

 nearer to the town than the Main Gate, it is perhaps not 

 quite so much used. From its proximity to the town it is 

 here referred to as the Roseau Gate. 



In the following itinerary it has been thought advisable 

 to give first a description of the route from the Main Gate to 

 the Curator's Office, and then to digress and describe the

 Bath Estate, where the limes used in the manufacture of 

 Rose's Cordial are grown. 



In addition to being the gate most directly accessible, 

 this entrance gives the visitor the pleasantest first impression 

 of the Garden. In front, and on either side as he enters, are 

 well kept lawns, studded with trees. A green grassy drive 

 runs up the gentle slope between two rows of Cabbage palms. 

 A picturesque background to all is furnished by the wooded 

 precipitous heights of Morne Bruce, and the more distant 

 mountains over the Roseau Valley to the left. 



On the gate posts is the handsome climber Bougainvillaea 

 " Mrs. Butt," other varieties of Bougainvillaea will be seen 

 later. This plant is of interest inasmuch as it is not the
