the greatest care and cultural skill have been bestowed 
upon them, while the blooms are large, well-shaped,

Tuis, the residence of С, H. Wilson, Esq., M P., is 
delightfally situated in beautifully undalating, well- 
timbered grounds, near the village of Warter. The 
Priory was formerly the aite of a religious house, but 
nothing remains but the name, Тае com nodious 
modern mansion is replete with present-day con- 
veniences of all kinds, The gardens are tastefully 
laid out with flower-beds, lawns, and shrubberies, and 
everything about them is in perfectly good order, as 
befits a place of which the owner is proud. The 
flower-garden this year had at the time of my visit 
suffered severely from а thunderstorm, and the well- 
filled beds of Pelargoniums were bereft of much of 
their blossoms, and all the others had temporarily 
Puce with the exception of two large beds of 
ous-rooted Begonias, which were, in spite of it 
sil, а blaze of colour. Osher fine-looking beds con-
