 Hops are used in the same way. It was perhaps a remembrance of 

 Italy, where Vines are trained to swing between the Mulberries. 



The beautiful pale yellow Carnation, named Pride of Penshurst, was 

 raised in this good garden, where everything tells of the truest sympathy 

 with all that is best in English horticulture. Not the least among 

 the soothing and satisfying influences of the pleasure-grounds of Pens- 

 hurst, is the entire absence of the specimen conifer, that, with its 

 wearisome repetition of single examples of young firs and pines, has 

 brought such a displeasing element of restless confusion into so many 

 pleasure-grounds.
