SOME OLD-WORLD GARDENS. 
HERE is an indescribable charm about old- 
fashioned gardens, which in modern ones 
seems to be lacking. The pictures are toned with 
a mellow restfulness, + tage. and grateful to the 
townsman’s nerves. “ Fair quiet and sweet rest” 
are there, no violent contrasts of crude colours, 
scarlet, yellow, or blue, distract the eye; mingled 
asant memories linger 
luscious fruit full sixty years ago. The goldfinch 
still puts her pretty nest in the boughs overhead. 
From that old China Rose we plucked a bud, 
and put with it a spray of я їо offer 
to a blushing lassie of sweet seventeen 
All the year round, too, there is ФИНО to 
admire in these old gardens, from Snowdrops 
and Winter Aconite, Crocus, and the *'rathe" 
Primrose; through the freshness and beauty of 
April а nd May, to the time of Roses in leafy 
дап une, when the garden із in its prime, Pinks 
and Lilies are there, with Rosemary, Ladslove, 
and Lavender. Then comes the waning year, 
when— 
“ Heavily hangs the Hollyhock, 
Heavily hangs the Tiger-Lily.” 
Perhaps it is during August and September that 
colours, and when butterflies sun their gorgeous 
wings on the petals of the Phlox, the Hydrangea, 
and the Aster. 
There are few lovers of a garden, and worthy 
of the name of amateur, who will begrudge 
should be—they pay for its keeping—Royal 
Kew, perhaps the grandest garden in Europe! 
But I speak of others not so well known. 
One of the most delightful old gardens in 
England is that ini Lord Essex at Cassiobury 
Park, near Watford. These gardens were re- 
visited Mad i gm a them 
remarks: It 
walk; and along the centre, at intervals of perhaps 
half-a-sóore yards, is a line of standard, dome- 
shaped Filberts, On either margin is a belt of
