SOMERLEYTON PARK, SUFFOLK. 
By an inadvertence in our last Number, when describing this place, a 
portion of the article was left out at page 368. We now supply the 
omission, following “ winter garden house,” “ which is principally 
filled with stove plants. In one part of the house we observed a large 
plant of the Norfolk Island Pine, the graceful foliage of which 
harmonised very completely with some large specimens of Ferns 
growing near it. Besides many valuable Ferns, and such plants as 
Hedychiums, &c., we found a good selection of stove plants, chiefly 
of popular flowering kinds, and in large specimens, and so suitable 
to the interior area of the house, that so far at least as appearances go 
the size of the plant should bear some proportion to that of the house in 
which they are grown. One side of this conservatory adjoins the winter 
garden. The opposite one, which fronts the lawn, has a bold circular 
projection, which makes an exceedingly good finish to the whole; and the 
house being placed on a platform of grass, rising 3 or 4 feet above the 
level of the flower garden (which it flanks) the exterior elevation and 
general appearance has a fine effect, when viewed from any point of the 
grounds which lie in front. We next visited the kitchen garden ; passing 
from the conservatory by the end of the geometric lawn, we took an 
outside walk, which skirts the boundary of the grounds, and leads 
through portions of well-kept lawn, backed up with masses of Rhodo¬ 
dendrons and other American plants and low-growing evergreens. 
From this walk some fine views of the park, including a rather 
picturesque avenue of old trees, are obtained. On entering the kitchen 
garden, we first inspected the principal range of glass, consisting of 
several Peach houses and Vineries. This range is constructed with 
upright front sashes and ridge and furrow roofs, and both are constructed 
and heated in a very superior manner. Each house is furnished with 
a pit in the centre, beneath which hot-water pipes are carried to supply 
bottom heat, when required ; in the case of the Peach houses, the pits 
are converted into borders for the trees filling the upper part of the 
house, those covering the front being planted outside and trained over 
the front path. Although the leaves had dropped, the general appearance 
of these trees informed us that their produce must be very first-rate, 
which we know is the case. There are, if we remember rightly, four 
Vineries following the Peach houses.” “ The Vines are planted, &c.”
