repens) is used to a limited extent in all lawn-grass mix- 

 tures. If it is desired to form a meadow or field with a

 sunny positions in rich soil are : the bluet (Houstonia 

 cceruled), the milkwort (Polygala vulgaris, P. comosa), 

 the yellow star-grass (Hypoxis erecta), the maiden-pink 

 (Dianthus deltoides), bird's-eye primrose (Primula farinosa) 

 in moist ground, and the blue speedwell ( Veronica chamce- 

 drys) ; beneath trees and shrubs : the lesser celandine 

 (Ranunculus ficaria), the harebell (Campanula rotundi- 

 folia), spring beauty (Claytonia virginicd), purple phlox 

 (Phlox divaricata), babes-in-the-wood (Polygala pauciflora), 

 white windflower (Anemone nemorosa), golden windflower 

 (Anemone ranunculoides), lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria 

 majalis) and the cowslip (Primula veris) ; in gravelly soil, 

 open and sunny positions, sandy shores, etc. : the sea-pink 

 (Armeria vidgaris and cephalotes), sand-pink (Dianthus 

 arenarius), bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), mouse, 

 ear (Cerastium Hiebersteinii), golden eternelle (Helichrysum 

 arenariuni), saudwort (Arenarid), wild thyme (Thymus 

 serpyllum Thymus chamcedrys) and creeping lead wort 

 (Plumbago larpcntce).
