Eaton Hall is one of the most beautiful ducal palaces, and has one of the most interesting gardening establishments in England. The gardener has fifty-six men employed under him. The number of glass houses is so large that the employees generally cannot tell you without stopping to count on the fingers how many there are. The hot-water pipes to warm these houses in length would extend six miles. Strawberries are forced for winter use, about 6,000 pots being used for the plants. Ten thousand persons visited the grounds last year.. In order to keep down crowds, the Duke charges 25 cents to each person visiting the palace and grounds. The receipts are given to a hospital in the vicinity, the sum last year being $2500.
