in part to the finer fruits, but principally to climbing roses, and other climbing or twining 

 shrubs of fragrance or beauty. At the point 10, there is a rustic archway of rocliwork on 

 the right, from which an interesting view across the lawn is obtained. At the point 11. 

 there i.s a walk across the border to the bath-house, adjoining which is a camellia-house 12, 

 {.see fig. lOy. in p. ■274.;) and beyond that two long sheds, 13, 14 (see fig. 160.), for tools, 

 pots, &c. At 1 -5 there is a fountain, and at 16 a stone cistern tilled with water by a forcing- 

 pump in the stable-yard. At 17 there is a span-roofed green-house {fig. 104.), and at Ks, the 

 French parterre shown in iig. 165. 



Proceeding towards the house, a view of a handsome weeping ash (20) is obtained from 

 the point at 1 9 ; and, at the farther ex- 

 tremity of the walk, the vases placed at 

 1, 2, 3 on the plan have an excellent 

 effect, backed by the marginal plantation 

 of evergreens. Leaving the walk at I'J, 

 and passing the weeping ash at 20, if 

 we advance on the lawn to 21, and look 

 towards the south, we have the pollard 

 vista^. 166. ; and changing the position 

 to 22, we have a view of some rock- 

 work, with a statue of Fame, &c. 



On the right and left of 23 are two 

 groups of rockwork, with concealed 

 springs, which drop from rock to rock, 

 and from stone to stone, and form 

 curious little moist places for aquatic 

 plants. Advancing to 24, and looking 

 northwards, we have the stiitue of 

 Mercury in the foreground, and behind 

 it the camellia-house, the wall on each 

 side of which is heightened with trellis- 

 work for creepers, as shown mfig. 167. 



At 25, we have tlie view of the foun- 

 tain and arch behind, shown mfig. 91. in 

 p. 181. In the basin are nymphjeas and 

 other aquatics ; and on one side i.« a 

 Napoleon willow.
