FOXGLOVES 



When we weie in Brittany we saw 

 Ihe pink I'oxgloves growing by the 

 sides of the road as butter-and-eggs 

 and dogbane grow with us. 



A year aso in April we planted three 

 liundred foxgloves in our woods. They 

 have not all lived through the winter, 

 but many of them are now in blossom 

 under our pine trees, where they have 

 a beautiful setting. They also come 

 after the moccasin flowers and violets 

 have passed and before the loosestrife, 

 pyrola and pipsisserva have blossomed. 

 There is something about the unex- 

 pected blossoming of flowers in the 

 woods which is very beautiful. It is 

 the contrast of color with the trees, 

 the beauty of light and shade remind- 

 ing us of that fine old saying — "Life 

 has many shadows but the sunshine 

 makes them." Or is it that the flowers 

 which belong in the woods, seem to 

 have a joy of growing there, a fresh 

 delightful spontaniety of growth which 

 we lose in our more formally planted 

 gardens? 



We were lately made very happy at 

 Hillcrest by being congratulated by a 

 connoisseur in gardens on the beauty 

 of our wild planting. Fortunately dear 

 old Dame Nature has scattered her 

 flowers all through our woods, we are 

 only adding foxgloves, iris and a few 

 other flowers to their charms while | 

 she stands by warning us to plant no 

 flowers in her woods which do not by 

 right belong there and all phlox and 

 hollyhoclis are very beautiful but they 

 do not belong in the woods.
