Hardy Exotic Plants for Naturalization. 85 



seed. — This pretty plant may be naturalized on the warm 

 slopes of old quarries, &c., in the southern and milder, 

 parts of the country, in light or stony soil. 



G-olden Bod. Solidago. The numerous species of 

 this genus, yellow-flowered, and for the most part tall 

 and vigorous herbs, are well fitted for naturalization in 

 woody places and copses. Indeed, wild or semi-wild 

 places are the only ones for which they are suited. 

 They are all as easily propagated as the Michaelmas 

 Daisy, and will grow in any soil. 



Ageratum Eupatory. Eupatorium ageratoides. 

 North America. Herbaceous perennial ; 4 feet ; white ; 

 late in summer ; seed or division. — Similar positions to 

 those for the medium-sized Michaelmas Daisies, and 

 suited for association with them in any soil. 



Purple-stalked Eupatory. Eupatorium purpur mm. 

 North America. Herbaceous perennial ; 4 to 5 feet ; 

 purple ; autumn ; seed or division. — Fringes of woods 

 and shrubberies, in sunny aspects. 



Winter Heliotrope. Tussilago fragrans. Europe. 

 Herbaceous perennial ; i foot ; blush ; winter ; division.— 

 Naturalization in any wild places in the shade of trees, 

 on banks, in lanes, and neglected places. Valuable for 

 cutting from in winter or early in spring, but beirig a fast- 

 spreading "weed" should not be planted where its rapid 

 increase could prove objectionable. 



Sea Ragwort. Cineraria maritima. Southern 

 Europe. Evergreen perennial ; 2 feet ; yellow ; late 

 summer ; seed. — Dry sandy banks, in warm rocky spots, 

 old quarries, &c. In some parts it will survive on level 

 ground, especially in very light soils.
