80 HORTICULTURAL TOUR. 



Wl.ile Mr Macdonald and I were inspecting the plants, 

 and conversing with Pierre, Mr Hay occupied himself in 

 drawing a plan of the suite of hot-houses, and a section of 

 one part, ascertaining the distances partly by pacing and 

 partly by actual measurement. At the same time, he took 

 an eve-sketch of the grounds immediately around the house. 

 The annexed engravings of these, will convey a much more 

 distinct idea of the place, than could be communicated by 

 anv description.
