Wick House; Dr. Jamieson (May 14). — The kitchen-garden here is well 

 arranged, and especially the forcing-department, which is a walled enclosure 

 by itself, and so laid out as to unite the utmost conveniency with neatness 

 of appearance. The culture of pine-apples was relinquished when the late 

 occupier gave up possession ; but the crops of grapes and peaches are excel- 

 lent. There is a small house exclusively devoted to the culture of the 

 Muscat of Alexandria, which is the best plan for succeeding with that grape 

 of exquisite flavour, and rather difficult management. One plant occupies 

 the whole house, and is covered with the finest crop we ever saw. Two 

 excellent gardeners have had the management of this garden in succession, 

 the late Mr. Ross, and Mr. Edgar, now gardener to Mr. Ellis, at Snettisham^
