THE GARDENS OF WARLEY PLACE. 
Space will not permit of reference to the extensive range of 
glass-houses, frames, and hot-beds, nor of an adequate des¬ 
cription of the orchards, peach-houses, vineries, and many other 
features in these remarkable gardens. The plants are all carefully 
named in accordance with the Index Kewensis. It is also with 
some regret that we must conclude this paper without reference 
to Miss Willmott’s gardens in Savoy, and upon the Mediterranean 
coast. Miss Willmott was this year awarded the Grande Medaille 
Geoffroy St. Hilaire by the Societe d’Acclimatation de France, 
and it will be remembered that she was among the first women 
to be admitted to the Linnean Society of London. 
We cannot make a better conclusion to this article than by 
quoting the dedication of the Botanical Magazine of 1907. 
“ To Miss Willmott, F.L.S., V.M.H., of Warley Place, Essex, 
whose skill in gardencraft is only surpassed by the generosity 
with which she dispenses the treasures of her gardens and 
accords to others the benefit of her experience.” 
The illustrations to this paper are from blocks kindly lent by 
The Garden and by Miss Willmott.
