CASTLEWELLAN. The Earl of Annesley has made his garden 
famous throughout Europe. It is the best proof that Ireland is a 
great gardeners' country that in the lifetime of one man a hillside 
Should hive been turned into a grand "gallery" of trees and 
shrubs in which giant specimens of many kinds of Com' ferae, 
looking at least a century old, of many kinds of New Zealand, 
Chilian. California]!. Himalayan, and South Kuropean trees and 
shrubs in the rudest health, all testify to the genial character of 
the climate, the richness of the soil, and the sagacity of the 
proprietor. A full account of this garden, with photo-illustrations 
of some of the specimen planta, was recently published by the 
Had i>( Amies!, y. As an indication of what may be found there 
I may mention the following : — Ptcea morindoides, a grand
