A selection from the foregoing will more than suffice 

 for the Cottage Garden. If any well-known plants have 

 been omitted, it is probably because they are not alto- 

 gether hardy, or are of too coarse a habit for borders of 

 moderate extent. It is unfortunate for many reasons 

 that when giving lists of plants, it should be necessary 

 in most cases to employ their Latin names. Much as I 

 prefer to speak of flowers by their everyday names, the 

 practice in writing tends to much confusion, besides 

 occupying a larger amount of space.
