————— 
A GRAND OLD GARDENER. 
qe readers may like to hear something of 
the sayings and doings of a great gardener, 
James Kelway. Owing to my being commissioned 
to paint a portrait of him I have been with him 
two Eves, and Mr. William Kelway is the 
offspring of the first. He keeps up the mer- 
cantile part of the business, and has built a new

grandfather’s footsteps, who is seventy-one, 
keen of eye, and € of understanding, white

on his house—the very name he had given to

or such a question as, Do certain rivers 
freeze from the bottom ? he will hardly discuss 
All this makes his knowledge of

ca by his faith and reason, but the old 
gentleman's knowledge is always his о 
rience, which causes me to tell him he ought not 
to believe there is such a place as America, as he 
has not been there, 
, On the same ri he has never had an 
s Gladioli, and therefore d 
nursery they always do well, and I don't see any 
special quality in the natural soil to account for 
it. Here and there it is strong loam on gravel, 
and here and there к деер loam probably on 
Blue Lias. rong loam, such as pre- 
vails in England, is eh general "basis, In this
