RABBIT-PROOF TREES AND PLANTS. 



87 



Ptrethrum (Feverfew). — Of this showy family the best 

 for the woodland are P. uliginosum, 5 feet, and 

 P. Tchihatcliewi, 2 feet. The latter succeeds in 

 dry shady places where many plants fail. Divi- 

 sion. 



Rose. — For the wild garden the most appropriate are 

 the Ayrshire, Austrian briar, boursault, berberifolia, 

 hybrid China, damask, microphylla, garland, and 



semperflorens species. Plant where they have 

 something to ramble over, and leave them alone. 

 Layers, budding, and cuttings. 

 Tritoma (Flame Flower). — Very showy though not 

 quite so hardy as desirable. Partial shelter some- 

 times preserves them through the winter, when, 

 perhaps, those quite in the open are destroyed by 

 frost. Division.
