Plants for Naturalization beneath Specimen Trees 

 on Lawns, etc. 



Where, as is frequently the case, the branches of trees, 

 both evergreen and deciduous, sweep the turf — and this, 

 as a rule, they should be allowed to do in nearly all cases 

 where they are planted in purely ornamental grounds — 

 a great number of pretty Spring flowers may be naturalized 

 beneath the branches, where they thrive without attention. 

 It is chiefly in the case of deciduous trees that this could 

 be done ; but even in the case of conifers and evergreens 

 some graceful objects might be dotted beneath the 

 outermost points of their lower branches. However, 

 it is the specimen deciduous tree that offers us the best 

 opportunities in this way. We know that a great number 

 of our Spring flowers and hardy bulbs mature their foUage 

 and go to rest early in the year. They require light and 

 Sun in -Spring, which they obtain abundantly under the 

 deciduous tree ; they, have time to flower and develop
