CHAP, II. BRITISH ISLANDS. 129 
After White Knights and Fonthill Abbey, the following places 
may be mentioned as subsequently planted, and as containing 
collections of trees and shrubs more or less extensive. In Bed- 
fordshire, Flitwick House, where an arboretum was pjanted in 
1829. (See Gard. Mag., vol. v. p. 559.) At Woburn Abbey, 
where a salicetum, or salictum (as the Duke of Bedford more 
classically terms it, in his Salictum Woburnense), was planted in 
1825, and where an arboretum is now, 1835, commenced. In 
Berkshire, High Clere, where a number of American trees and 
shrubs were planted, and a great quantity of fine hybrid rhodo- 
dendrons and azaleas raised, between 1820 and 1830; and 
Dropmore, where there is the most complete pinetum in England, 
the species and varieties amounting, in 1835, to 120. In Corn- 
wall, at Carclew, there is a good collection. In Derbyshire, at 
Chatsworth, a very complete arboretum was begun in 1834; of 
which an account and ground plan will be found in the Gar- 
dener’s Magazine, vol. xi. p. 385. In Devonshire, Luscombe 
near Dawlish (said by Davis, in his Landscape-Gardener, to be 
‘an unrivalled production of fine taste”), Endsleigh Cottage, 
Mamhead, and Bicton, contain good collections. In Essex, 
Hylands. In Hampshire, Bishop Stoke Vicarage. In Hert- 
fordshire, Cheshunt, which contains a pinetum. In Kent, at 
Cobham Hall, a very good collection. In Lancashire, Latham 
House. In Northumberland, Belsay Castle, where there is a 
pinetum. In Staffordshire, Alton Towers, and Somerford Hall, 
where there is an excellent arboretum, with sufficient space 
allowed for the trees to attain their full size. In Suffolk, Barton 
Hall. In Surrey, Bagshot Park, Milford, where there is a 
regular arboretum, Oakham Park, Mere Cottage, and Deepdene. 
In Sussex, West Dean, and Arundel Castle. In Wiltshire, 
Wardour Castle, where there is a good pinetum, and Boynton. 
In Scotland may be mentioned, Hafton, in Argyleshire; Gor- 
don Castle, in Banffshire; Drumlanrig, and Jardine Hall, in 
Dumfriesshire ; Dalhousie Castle, in Edinburghshire ; St. Mary’s 
Isle in Kirkeudbrightshire; and Dunrobin, in Sutherlandshire. 
In Ireland, Terenure, near Dublin, where there is the most 
complete arboretum in the country; and Charleville Forest, in 
Meath, where an arboretum was begun in 1811. 
Several public bodies have commenced arboretums during 
this century. In England the first of these is that of the Lon- 
don Horticultural Society, whose collection, in their garden at 
Turnham Green, commenced in 1823, may be considered the 
first in England. It is to be regretted that the space in the 
garden devoted to this arboretum was originally much too small; 
and also, that the trees and shrubs were chiefly crowded toge- 
ther in clumps, which have subsequently never been sufficiently 
thinned out. In consequence of this, the different kinds have
