‘My nephew, Mr. Baring, has succeeded in making these young Natives like not only cricket, but gardening. We are to have a Horticultural Exhibition in August, when prizes are to be given for the best flowers and fruit.

But oh, you should see our glorious pink water-lilies! They grow wild in the water, and would be a sight anywhere.
