tural experience, and which has b^en abundantly shown
In the case of the gentleman whose garden I visited the
other day is my annual Dorsetehire tour—alas I I fear
to be my last. When real love for flowers is aided by
the very needful adjunct of • little clash, it is aston-
ishing what difficulties Gan be overoome. No one, in
passing by the road which leads through the village of
Charmbuter, wonid suppose that behind the will which
abate on the high road there Is suds a treasury of hor-
ticultural beauties as Mr. Webster has already aeon-
mutated. Time was when there was plenty of jack

of form and the ease with which they are ventilated
they Hem to me the very models of what houses ought
to be. As these houses are well known and constantly
advertised in the °ohms of the Journal, there is no
need that I should detll their mode of oonstruction.
Mr. Webster is more satisfied with then than ever,
There is also a nice propagating house, of coarse Ow
usual adjuncts of pits and frames, and in all of them
are to be found some of the riehost and rarest of the
horticultural introduction of late years. Amongst
ferns there were • fine plant of adiantum farleyense,
and young, promising examples of the beautiful filmy
ferns todes superb* and iodise pellucid., while Platy.
cerium aleieorne was treated here in se °Hord way,
which was certainly most effective. A largo pot,
somewhat like • sea-kale pot. wad urned upside
down, holes were made in it and another pot platted
Inside with peat; the fern was planted here, and,
pushing itself thr3ugh the holes, gradually laid
hold of and spreadover the pot, and so the
whole surface of it will gradually become covered.
Grapes are exceedingly well grown, although on •
small wale as compared with many places. I saw
strong vines well filled with fruit of the muscat Ham-
burg, and very large benches of trebbhuso and other
good kinds, while black Hamburg. sensual, formed the
piios de mi./game. The first erop was over, and the
successions were raptly owning forward. Strawberries
had been forced in abundance, and the plants in the
border were furnishing good second crops of bloom. I
saw in the houses • nice plant of the very curious
steeds arisen* not often seen, but always sure to
exeite wonder when In flower, so unlike it is to any-
thing else, and so doubtful some would be in looking
at it whether it were • flower sr not; while meet of

plants were to be found here. But perhaps that part
of the garden in will& I was most interested was the
rook garden, for although small, it contained a most
Interesting oolleOtion of alpine plants, many of which
were growing and flowering in great profusion. Inter-
mingled with them were also some nil* specimens of
our best British ferns. Most of the finer varieties of
medians and sempervlvums were mixed with campann-
lane, gentians, violas, and primulas. Noticeable among
them I saw omphalodes semi alba, domain deltoides,
sisyrinehiam grandiflorum, primula eortusoidee—the
old variety had been, I was informed, a perfect mass
of ; the same had been the case with aquoligia
caerulea. Dianthus alpinus, 'llene rupestris, and, as
the Radiomen say, others too numerous to mention
studded all over the rockwork, Ibis most once
to those of us who have 8o long advocated thougiwll
of these alpines and herbacootta perennials to find them
now coming so much into favour, for here not only
was this garden devoted to them, but in the borders
were to be found fine mares of many of our favourites.
Delphinium belladonna end D. Koeteleeri had been
very fine; the former is certainly unequalled for the
brilliancy of its scare blue. Nor must I omit to men-
tion • summer-hones completely covered with olemaile
jaehmanol and &magi rubro-violacea with thousands
of blossoms open and opening all over it. The plants
had been out down to within two feet of tho ground,
and had now covered the whole of it with bright
foliage and still brighter flowers, and afford another
butane° of the many noes to which these showy plants
can be put. I need say no more to prov 3 that Mr.
Webster is "well to the front" In the various depart-
ments of gardening, and rarely does one moot husband
and wife so thoroughly at one in all oonnected with
horticulture as in the kind and hospitable friends to
whom I owed a pleasant and profitable vialt.—D.,
