Excerpt from Spring Flowers at Belvoir Castle: With Directions for Cultivation and Notes on the Gardens
As will be seen by the notes on the general character of these gardens - see page 66 - they are eminently fitted for producing early flowers, their height above the surrounding country gives a drier air during winter and spring early frosts in autumn and late frosts in spring are not felt severely, owing to the elevation; the screens of tall forest trees with ever greens underneath which surround the gardens break the keen cutting winds of March (these are often more dangerous to vegetation than a quiet frost of much greater intensity), and the undulations of the surface give a greater charm, and far greater effect from a picturesque point of view than could possibly be obtained on any level surface.
