contain some fine plants, more especially the huge Camellias, covering the back wall, and a few very 
good greenhouse plants, among which some Azaleas, Boronias, Aphelexis, and Pimeleas were the most 
remarkable. We must not, however, pass over a large and rich collection of Calceolarias, principally 
of the herbaceous kinds, for though there were few that would please the fastidious florist, there were 
hundreds that gardeners or nurserymen, requiring plants for decorative purposes, would be glad of. 
Some of the flowers were very singularly marked; others had horn-like protrusions upon the upper 
lip, which gave them an unusual appearance, and nearly the whole were beautiful. 
In one of the vineries a fine crop of Grapes was ripening; but, from the Vines being old and very 
deeply planted, Mr. Cox had some doubt of the crop coming to proper maturity. He was, however, 
adopting the only means left to him to ripen them properly—viz., giving abundance of air to maintain 
a free, healthy atmosphere. In this house were also some Ferns, a few Orchids and stove plants, the 
supply of the conservatory rendering it necessary to keep some here, but Mr. Cox was quite aware 
they were bad neighbours for his Grapes; and, had circumstances admitted of it, would gladly have 
been rid of them. The kitchen-garden is small, and on a hanging level to the south-west; and, being 
well protected by a plantation on the north-east side, it is warm, and consequently produces fine crops 
of both fruit and vegetables. Some of the Peaches and other stone fruit-trees, show the havoc which 
time has committed upon them, but still they bore fine crops, and the Pear trees were completely laden 
with fruit, so much so, as to require considerable thinning. Cherries grow here to great perfection, 
some of the wall kinds being of remarkable size. The soil in the garden is rich and deep, the sub¬ 
stratum being red sandstone, and consequently both fruit and vegetables are grown to great perfection. 
In the frame-ground we observed good crops of Melons and Cucumbers, and in some of the pits young 
specimens of greenhouse plants were growing very robustly. 
The English garden, thus called to distinguish it from the Dutch, and the Rocky garden to be 
noticed on a future occasion, is situated between the two, and may be said to be an episodical link 
between the stiff formality of the Dutch, and the wild character of the Rocky garden. The boundary 
border of this garden is rich in herbaceous plants, more especially of the bulbous kinds, and a sort of 
chain of oval beds, too large by the by for the space, are gay with summer bedding plants. In this 
garden the Fernery and Wistaria-covered path before noticed are situated, and form very interesting 
parts of it. Here also some of the rock, peculiar to Redleaf, presents itself, for it crops out in certain 
parts of the grounds, and only requires to be uncovered to represent what never can be imitated, viz., 
natural rock scenery. As will be seen by our engraving, there is situated on this rock a rustic sum-
