278 MY GARDEN 



in half wild and waste places. Hollyhocks, Paeonies, 

 Phlox, save the old purple, Delphiniums, Chrysanthe- 

 mums, Moonpenny Daisies, and Veronicas seem par- 

 ticularly to belong to the tidy garden; and new or rare 

 plants should not be planted in such a situation. The 

 most suitable are those which are native to the neigh- 

 bourhood, or which are so little fussy about soil and 

 situation and so hardy that they in a large measure re- 

 produce themselves, so that in time there will be really 

 natural thickets and stretches planted without our 

 agency. 



The following list includes such plants as seem to me 

 particularly appropriate for naturalizing:
