Text Appearing Before Image:
proper bricks being used on theinner side to accommodate the glass and carpentry, but on theoutside rough burrs, such as are commonly employed forrockeries in the neighbourhood of London, are employed.The whole of these rough walls are planted with ferns, ivies,and hardy succulents, the result being that the walls them-selves constitute a somewhat extensive and eccentric garden. The plant-house is lighted by windows in the walls and anelegant lantern roof. The entrance to it from the smoking-room is fantastically decorated with virgin cork. Fromthis rustic doorway the view of the house is novel and pleasing.The roof is furnished with a number of elegant baskets, wellfilled with showy plants of suitable character, and the walk isterminated by a fountain, at the back of which is placed anumber of pieces of looking-glass, which reflect and re-reflectthe splashing of the water. The whole of the structure was put up by Mr. Overall,Horticultural Builder, of 16, Shacklewell Lane, Kiugsland.
