 Lady Bunbury, with Mr. Bunbury and Mr. Edward 

 Bunbury, welcomed the visitors on the lawn, to which 

 an approach was made from the marquee by an arch of 

 evergreens ; and after the Horticultural Show had been 

 inspected the company spread themselves over the velvet 

 turf, or wandered through the inviting shades of the 

 shrubberies, and admired the noble specimens of the 

 arboretum, amongst which towers a standard Magnolia 

 acuminata, a magnificent tree, 50 feet in height, the 

 Douglas fir, sixty feet high$ one of the largest 

 in England, the Cephalonian firj thirty feet, which was 

 first introduced^ we believe, by her ladyship's brother ; 

 a beautiful araucaria imbricata ; cryptomeria japonica, 8 

 feet high; abies Frazerii, 20 feet; abies Khutneri, 16 feet; 

 a very fine pinus cimbrij; several very fine liriodendron 

 tulipiferum, or tulip trees, just coming into flower; a 

 Arte weeping ash, over whose drooping branches the 

 tfundee rambler rose was spread in profuse flower an 

 Excellent idea ; and last, though far from least, we must 

 notice a gigantic silver fir, 106 feet high, 12 feet in cir- 

 cumference at 2 feet from the ground, and straight as an 

 arrow its equal is, perhaps, not to be found in the 

 country.
