The state of the weather prevented us from examining various details in this garden; but we shall repeat our calls from time to time. Meanwhile we invite the public to subscribe to this excellent establishment, and nurserymen and the curators of public gardens to send donations of plants. Exotic climbers and twiners, to the number of at least 100 species, may be displayed in the house above described. Specimens of iron fencing and of various garden ornaments are exhibited about the grounds by various tradesmen. It will be the interest, we should think, of Mr. Peake of 123
Tunstall, Mr. Falcke of Battersea, Mr. Selane of the Vauxhall Road, and Mr. Jones of Lambeth, to send their vases here; Messrs. Harrison and Curtis their new mode of glazing; and Mr. Ferabee one of his mowing-machines.
