a drier atmosphere than is usual; however 1 , they were looking 
very well, though a little more moisture would perhaps induce 
a stronger growth. The collection contains good plants of 
Cattleya Mossise, labiata, intermedia ; Maxillaria fuscata, un- 
cata ; Lycaste macrophylla, Deppei, tetragona ; Gongora fulva, 
maculata, and varieties; Dicrypta graminifolia ; Broughtonia san- 
guinea; Epidendrum variegatum, Parkinsoni, glumaceum, aro- 
maticum ; Notylia punctata; Cirrhsea Warreana, fusco-lutea ; 
Sobralia sessilis ; Oncidium longifolium, Lanceanum, Harrisoni- 
anum, papilio ; Peristeria cerina, guttata ; Sophronitis ptero- 
carpa ; Brassia Wrayii, Lanceana ; Stanhopea tigrina, ocuiata, 
and saccata. 
The surrounding pleasure-grounds are disposed in the irregular 
or picturesque style, and contain, beside the flower-garden al¬ 
ready spoken of, a labyrinth, American garden, in which are some 
flourishing specimens, and a large piece of ground, recently 
planted for a Pinetum ; from this, over a neat rustic bridge, the 
path leads, by a very chastely designed and beautifully situated 
temple, towards the kitchen garden. Here the same order and 
regularity is observable ; the forcing of fruit and vegetables is 
carried on extensively and satisfactorily ; the ranges of Pineries, 
Vineries, and Peach-houses looked all that could be desired. In 
one house, a vinery, we saw the finest crop of strawberries it has 
been our fortune to witness this season ; in another early house 
grapes in pots were “colouring.” Figs, cherries, beans, cucum¬ 
bers, melons, all appeared to luxuriate in the treatment they 
were receiving ; while the out-of-doors department reflected 
equal credit on the kitchen gardener, Mr. Derbyshire. To him 
and Mr. Egerly, the flower gardener, we were much indebted, 
for their courteous attention, in pointing out the many and 
various objects of interest which called attention on every side.

Plant Stove. All should be gaiety and profusion here. 
The majority of the plants will be in rapid growth, which may 
yet be encouraged by maintaining a well-moistened atmosphere 
about them, and re-potting such as require it. By no means, 
however, let them become crowded whilst in this profuse state
