148 THE WILD GARDEN. 
wild garden and its suitable occupants, I venture to suggest Lath 
pyrenaicus as an addition to the list. Most cultivators of flowers 
aware of the rambling habits of the greater number of plants of 
Leguminous tribe, but in that particular L. pyrenaicus eclipses t 
all. It produces an immense quantity of bright orange- colo 
blossoms, but the principal difficulty connected with its thorc 
development is the selection of an appropriate place for it, for a 1 
established plant of this sp: 
will ramble over, and by 
density of growth prevent e 
plant and shrub that cc 
within its reach from thriv 
indeed, it is a greater ram 
than the Hop, the Bindw 
or the Bryony, and is decid 
more handsome. Tying u 
training such a plant is ot 
the question; but there 
many rough places in the’ 
garden where it would be ¢ 
at home and form an att 
ive feature. Every kin

Monkey-flower, M 
lus.—“ Wandering one de 
the neighbourhood of “Gruigfoot,”a queer-shaped hill in Linlithgows 
my eye was attracted by a small burn whose banks were literally jew 
throughout its visible course with an unfamiliar yellow flower. 
nearer approach showed me that it was the garden Mimulus (Mon 
flower), the seed of which must have escaped from some neighbou 
cottage garden, and established itself here, in the coldest part o 
British Isles. JI took the hint, and have naturalised it by the b 
of a small stream which runs at the foot of my garden, and I strc 
recommend your readers to do the same. It mingles charmingly 
the blue Forget-me-not, and is equally hardy.”—S. in Garden.
