mixed border will find a home. Of such plants there are 
numbers in every northern and mountainous country, which 
travellers may gather and afterwards grow in their own 
gardens. The taller Achilleas, the stately Aconites, 
the seldom-seen Actas, the huge and vigorous, but at 
certain seasons handsome, Althzas, Angelica with its fine 
foliage, the herbaceous kinds of Aralia from the American 
woods, also with fine foliage, the Wormwood family 
(Artemisia), the stronger kinds of American cotton-weed 
(Asclepias), certain of the vigorous species of Asparagus, 
Asters and their allies in great variety, the larger and more 
vigorous species of Astragalus, certain of the larger species of 
Betonica, pretty, and with delicate flowers, but hardly fit for 
the mixed border, various free and vigorous exotic Grasses, 
large and showy Bupthalmums, the handsome creeping Bind- 
weeds, too free in a garden, the most vigorous Campanulas, 
exotic Thistles (Carduus) and their allies, the more remark- 
able kinds of Carex, numerous Centaureas, somewhat too 
coarse for the garden; and among other strong and hardy 
genera, the following are chiefly suitable for the wild garden: 
Crambe, Galega. Rhaponticum.,
