Plants for Naturalization beneath Trees on Lawns. 



Where the branches of trees, both evergreen and deciduous, 

 sweep the turf, a great number of pretty spring flowers may 

 be naturalized beneath the branches, where they wiH 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 little spring flowers might be dotted 

 beneath the outermost points of their lower branches. We 

 know that many of our spring flowers and hardy bulbs mature 

 their leaves and go to rest early in the year. They enjoy the 

 sun in spring, under the deciduous tree ; they have time to 

 flower and develop their leaves under it before the foliage 

 of the tree appears ; then, as the summer comes, they are 

 gradually overshadowed and go to rest ; the leaves of the
