N wes qc of the Great International 
uit Show, to be held at Edinburgh next 
week, asd which promises to be of — extent 
and importance, we give in this place a few notes 
on some of the places of horticultural interest in 
and about this magnificen t city hese notes 
may be useful to intending visitors, but they 
must be taken in the light of suggestions merely, 
as there is no pretence of mae eness about 
them. In our next issue we h to give, to- 
gether with a full report of the Sui itself, a 
special re cnn Supplement devoted to the 
Royal Botanic Garden, which, next to the show 
will Petron and most fit tingly be the first 
object of = agp interest which the visitor 
will be desirous of seeing. 
PRIVATE GARDENS. 
NEW BATTLE, the seat of the Marquis of 
Lothian, i is a few miles distant from the city, 
d 
in various ways. 
E not of yesterday, and it occupies the site of a 
uch earlier structur e, some portions of which 
still remain, 
mansion just outside the terrace garden : a finer 
specimen or one more symmetrically grown it 
would be hard to find. A figure of this tree 
was given in vol. ii. for 1874, p. 521. The best 
way, perhaps, to realise its enormous propor- 
tions is to stand close to the bole and look up 
of A spread of its branches may be obtained 
when we say that sixteen paces were required 
to step round the bole at its base ; while at the 
extremities of its branches as they rest on the 
ground, or at-a short distance above it, no less 
than 121 pe of over 3 feet to the pace, were 
taken

beds, for the filling nd grouping of which, in 
spring, Mr. McLeod,the gardener, has obtained a 
well-earned reputation. It was too early at the 
time of our visit to say much as to the autumn 
bedding, but we suspect from what we saw that 
it is not greatly inferior to the spring display.

—— DALKEITH is too well known, by repute 
at any rate, to require attention to be drawn to 
it as one of the finest forcing establishments in 
the country. Dunn is careful to maintain 
the repute which this garden gained under his 
ating and for cut ыу аге 
the principal operations Mod. on here. The 
park, wit th. the remains of an old forest with 
ои which the river Esk winds, affords 
establishment. Similar reasons prevent us from 
saying much as to the magnificent gardens and 
park at DRUMLANRIG, another seat of the Duke 
of Buccleuch. Drumlanrig is at a consider- 
able distance from Edinburgh or Glasgow, but 
may be reached from the latter city by alighting 
at Thornhill station, on the line between 
Glasgow, Kilmarnock, Dumfries, and Carlisle, 
The scenery hereabouts is very beautiful, and 
recalls that in the neighbourhood of Chatsw 
but is on a bolder scale. The woods are fine, but 
if Nature has done much, art and skill have 
done more, The very extensive flower-garden, 
forcing-houses, the kitchen-garden, herbaceous 
borders, and other departments, are maintained

Thomson.
