NATURE NOTES 
stands on a gentle slope overlooking the old-world town of Iloddesdon. The 
gardens are alike extensive and beautiful. Of roses there seem no end ; they 
grow on house, on trellis-woik, and in small thickets. For birds the grounds 
must be a haunt of peace, because they are not interfered with, as the owners do 
not grudge a payment in kind for the music to which they delight to listen. Tea 
was served out of doors in an annexe to the main lawn, and on its conclusion 
Mr. C. West and Mr. R. M. Wattson expressed the indebtedness felt by those 
present to Dr. and Mrs. Appleford for their unsparing efforts to entertain their 
visitors.
