Following is an extract from the "Forres, Elgin & Nairn Gazette" of 16 Jul 1884.
"Dunphail -- A Local Gardener Abroad.-- An American paper given a full description and a woodcut of the gardens at Evergreen Lodge, Clarksville, which are under the entire supervision of Mr. James Munro, from this district. Mr. Munro began his career as a gardener at Dunphail House, then occupied by the late Major Cumming Bruce, M.P. for the county of Moray. Mr. Munro's taste for gardening found a wider shpere in the establishment of Messrs Dickson & Sons, Edinburgh, but his ability for scientific horticulture was chiefly acquired while engaged in the Royal botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, under the instruction of Professor Balfour, a clebrated scientific botanist. He was also employed in the Gardens at Darnaway belonging to the Earl of Moray, and afterwards held responsible positions in some of the most famous English nurseries. After referring to the many beauties of the gardens under Mr. Munro's supervision and the ability with which they were conducted, the writer says--"Mr. Munro differs only in one respect from the celebrated gardeners of Scotland, who are, as a general rule, the most crabbed race of mortals in existence. Munro on the contrary is the best natured, courteous, and obliging gardener we have ever known--and so the ladies find who make Evergreen Lodge their favourite summer evening resort." His numerous friends will be glad to hear of his success."
