Excerpt from The British Winter Garden: Being a Practical Treatise on Evergreens; Showing Their General Utility in the Formation of Garden and Landscape Scenery and Their Mode of Propagating, Planting, and Removal From One to Fifty Feet in Height, as Practised at Elvaston Castle ON entering upon my situation at Elvaston Castle, in August, 1830, after taking a survey of the place, I found that, whatever might be the nature of our future Operations, draining was indispensable to a considerable extent, and that was set about in earnest.
