NATURALIZING 337 



soil, growing on rocks in the partly cleared woods, 

 where it is shady. The native variety, red and 

 yellow in colour, Aquilegea Canadensis, should be 

 naturalized on rocky knolls on the edge of the lawn 

 or in the woods. 



LILIUM LONGIFLORUM naturalized in a glade 

 near water, or where the sound of water may be 

 heard, with ferns for companions, looks better than 

 anywhere else. The lilies, except carididum, like 

 shade and if you have no wood in which to estab- 

 lish them place a clump near some shrubs or by a 

 group of trees. 



The CYPRIPEDIUMS are Orchids and are the most 

 beautiful of our wild flowers. C. spectabile, or 

 Showy Lady Slipper, grows to the height of two 

 feet and bears a rose-white flower. It can be grown 

 in moist leaf -mould well shaded, and is beautiful 

 naturalized in a damp wood. C. piibescens, Yellow 

 Lady Slipper, and C. candidum, White, require the 

 same treatment. C. acaule, or Moccasin Flower, 

 should be planted where it will be well drained. 

 The plant throws up two broad leaves from the 

 base, and from between them grows a stalk a foot 

 high that bears a purple-rose flower.
