The carved furniture, rich carpets, and beautiful flowers made 
this room most delightful. The luncheon room opened from the 
reception room ; the ceiling was green, with silver stars and the 
crescent. The walls were hung with imitation antique leather, 
buff-coloured, having fruit painted in natural tones, and the fol- 
lowing texts in various colours : — 
The valleys shall stand so thick with corn that they shall laugh and slug. 
Thou bringest forth the fruits of the earth in due season. 
The earth, 0 Lord, is full of Thy goodness. 
The blinds were yellow silk, festooned with frilled edges ; the 
furniture dark oak, of the Elizabethan period. 
The Prince of Wales's room was decorated with the Prince of 
Wales's feathers and mottos with monogram A.E. The furniture 
dark oak, including an old grandfather's clock richly inlaid 
with coloured woods and relieved with brass mounts. The 
Princess of Wales's room was decorated with monogram A., 
silver filling and blue dado, yellow silk blinds, and appropriate 
furniture. 
Messrs. Sutton & Sons, of Eeading, were entrusted with 
the important task of carrying out the whole of the floral 
decorations. On all sides the Pavilion was draped with appro- 
priate climbing plants, the Virginia creeper, ivies green-leaved 
and variegated, the Mexican Cobcea scandens with its large 
purple goblet-shaped blossoms, the yellow-flowered canary 
creeper, and others. At the principal entrance were seen vines, 
bearing clusters of purple grapes, entwining the pillars which 
supported the roof of the porch. On the north, south, and west 
sides of the garden were straight borders having a background 
of coniferous plants, green, golden, and silvered. Below were 
beds of foliaged or flowering plants, and in places fine speci- 
mens of the beautiful cut-leaved Japanese maple ; an edging of 
blue compact lobelia, alternating with the elegant grass-like 
isolepis, completed the border on the three sides. The velvet 
lawns produced from Sutton's fine lawn grass seeds were so 
exquisitely close, fine, and green, that they might have been 
growing many months, but as a matter of fact were only the 
production of a few weeks. In the centre of each lawn was a 
fine specimen of Japanese retino-sporas, one of the handsomest 
of the smaller-growing coniferous plants, and on the north and 
south sides of the garden the initials V.R. were formed in the 
grass with blue lobelia, creating a very charming efiect. 
The erection of the Pavilion, the internal and floral decora- 
tions, and the furnishing were all carried out within a very 
sliort space of time, in the most complete mjinner, and with the
