with Wistaria Multijuga. Every plant in 

 this garden is of Japanese origin. 



The gardens of New Place are open to 

 the public on Sundays in May and June, 

 and are visited by a large number of people 

 most of whom, although they may not be 

 botanists or horticulturists, can appreciate a 

 charming picture. For in these gardens no 

 attempt has been made to form a collection 

 of rarities or to specialise in any direction. 

 Rather have the owners tried to paint a 

 series of garden pictures which may refresh 

 in mind and body those who see them, and 

 which may linger in the memory, reminding 

 us that " gardening is the purest of human 

 pleasures."
