a70 WOOD AND GARDEN 



pictorial value ; so there are stretches of Daffodils 

 in one part of the copse, whUe another is carpeted 

 with Lily of the Valley. A cciol bank is covered with 

 Gaultheria, and just where I thought they would look 

 well as little jewels of beauty, are spreading patches of 

 Trillium and the great yellow Dog-tooth Violet. Be- 

 sides these there are only some groups of the Giant 

 Lily. Many other exotic plants could have been made 

 to grow in the wooded ground, but they did not seem 

 to be wanted ; I thought where the copse looked well 

 and complete in itself it was better left alone. 



But where the wood joins the garden some bold 

 groups of flowering plants are allowed, as of Mullein 

 in one part and Foxglove in another ; for when stand- 

 ing in the free part of the garden, it is pleasant to 

 project the sight far into the wood, and to let the 

 garden influences penetrate here and there, the better 

 to join the one to the other.
