ovatus), the Quaking Grasses (Briza media and 

 minor), the well and strikingly-variegated Cocks- 

 foot grass (now beginning to be extensively used 

 as a bedding plant), the new variegated variety of 

 the common Poa trivialis, and Elymus arenarius, 

 a strong conspicuous, glaucous grass, are worth 

 growing, being for the most part either very 

 interesting or beautiful. Some of those Grasses, 

 now never seen in a garden, are worthy of being 

 grown for dinner-table decorations, to which they 

 would add as much grace as any costly exotics. 



We have thus glanced at the garden of British 

 Wild Flowers, from showy, self-asserting Butter- 

 cups and Poppies to modest Grasses of exquisite 

 grace ; but it would require much greater space to 

 do justice to the numerous and delightful aspects 

 of vegetation they are capable of producing : to 

 enjoy these the best way is to set to work and 

 form them. 



THE END.
