planted by Mr. Harrison when it was upwards of 80 years of age. 
The instruments with which a number of large plants, particularly 
shrubs, were transplanted under Mr. Harrison’s directions, when the 
grounds were being altered and enlarged, were described for us by 
Mr. Pratt. (See Gardener's Magazine , vol. xi. p. 134.) Mr. Pratt 
kept for many years large plants which had suffered from many causes, 
or which were not immediately wanted, in what he called an hospital 
for these purposes. 
13, A flower-garden, in which for several years a large Araucaria brasi- 
liensis stood out in the centre bed ; but it was killed to the ground in 
the winter of 1837-8 
14, The rustic covered seat, shown in Fig. 14, in p. 479, and of which 
Fig 15, is an elevation of the back ; showing the manner in which the 
barked poles are arranged. 
15, Basin of water for aquatics. 
16, Rustic building, of which a view is shown in Fig. 16. In the inte- 
rior is an alto-relievo of statuary marble, representing a female over a 
funeral vase, surrounded by a sort of broad frame of corals, cornua Am- 
monis, and large mineral specimens of different kinds. 
17, Groups of roses, dahlias, and other ornamental flowers. 
18, Two semicircular beds of roses. 
19, A covered double seat, one half looking towards the roses, and the 
other in the opposite direction. In the latter are kept the instruments 
for playing at what is called lawn billiards, which is said to be a game 
intermediate between bowls and common billiards. This game is lit- 
tle known, but materials for playing at it are sold by Messrs. Cato 
& Son, wire-workers, Holborn Hill, London, who send out with them 
the following printed rules : — • 
“ This game, which differs from all others, should be played on a 
lawn about 12 yards square ; the socket with the ring being fixed in 
the centre by a block of wood fixed into the earth. It may be played 
by two or four persons, either separately, or as partners, each player 
having a ball with a cue pointed to correspond. Care must be taken 
to fix the ring at the end of the cue close to the ball before striking.” 
20, The pond. On the margin of which, at k t is the boat-house seen in 
Fig. 17, in p. 483. 
21, Descending steps through evergreens ; from which is seen the distant 
view of the house and the tent, as in Fig. 10, in p. 473.
