The part of the Park fenced off and known as the 
Wilderness is quiet and undisturbed; there under the 
big trees, among long grass and bracken, the young fawns 
are reared every year. They are most confiding and 
tame—those in the Park too much so; for they are only 
too ready to eat what is given them, and tragic deaths 
from a surfeit of orange-peel or such-like delights are 
the result. 
The lake is prettily planted, and red marliac varieties 
of water-lilies now float on the surface in the summer. 
The dell, planted with a large collection of flowering 
shrubs, is well arranged, and many choice varieties, 
Solatium crispum , gum cistus, magnolias, Buddlea inter¬ 
media, Indigofera gerardiana floribunda, and such-like are 
doing well. The frame-ground is most unostentatious, 
and it is satisfactory to see how much can be produced. 
The climate allows of the spring bedding plants and 
hardy chrysanthemums for autumn being raised out of 
doors; and the small amount of glass shelters the standard 
heliotropes, Streptosolens Jamesoni , and the like for bedding. 
Lilies do well in the open ; superbum , tiger, thun -
