THE GARDENING WORLD. 
681 
Gardens worti-i visiting. 
For the information and convenience of those who 
would like to see some of the private gaidening 
establishments and nurseries in the vicinity of 
Liverpool, we publish on the opposite page a list of 
gardens worthy of a visit. In order to make the list 
as serviceable as possible we have limited the number 
to what it is not impossible for anyone to visit in 
a few days. The first eight places mentioned in 
the district of Wavertree, Allerton, and Woolton, 
would take a day to see comfortably, taking them 
in the order named. Sefton Turk, and thence to 
Garston, would form another day’s excursion ; and 
the West Derby district an enjoyable third. When 
at West Derby the visitor will find himself within 
measurable distance of Croxteth Park, the Earl of 
Sefton, gardener, Mr. Barham; and Knowsley, the 
Earl of Derby, gardener, Mr. Harrison. 
The numerous fine seats in Cheshire are somewhat 
more scattered, but would prove an agreeable change, 
affording an opportunity for seeing the new tunnel, 
and the various views on the Mersey.
