y, Pasture lawn; the surface of which is beautifully undulated, and finely varied by groups of oaks, thorns, and other trees. The thorns are, in some instances, of great age, and are often covered with a profusion of mistletoe, which in the winter season gives them the appearance of evergreen trees, and in spring interferes with that general covering of blossom, which, from its uniformity and whiteness, sometimes gives a large hawthorn the appearance of an immense cauliflower, or gives a spotty appearance to the landscape. We may observe, here, that there are various scarlet thorns distributed through these grounds; that two of them, in front of the Penshurst Lodge, are of an intensely dark red; and that others, which are seedlings of these, present different shades of colour, some being only a pale pink.
