Though it has not been done to any extent, it is quite certain that 

 the wild and free effect of the hedgerows of England, which during the season are aglow with Corn Cockles, Fox- 

 gloves, Poppies, and a multitude of lovely flowers, which charm every one with their beauty and fragrance, can be 

 reproduced in this country by a little care and the liberal use of plants adapted to our climate. Charming effects can 

 be made by a combination of Larkspurs and Nasturtiums, Coreopsis and Poppies, or Godetias and Calendulas, or all 

 •can be mixed together and scattered over rough places, thereby making that which is unsightly appear attractive. 



Shrubbery and the edges of woodlands would look more cheerful were they sown with Foxgloves, Everlasting 

 ■Sweet Peas, Lupins, etc., which would thrive in such a situation, and provide plenty of bloom where otherwise there 

 ■would only be a mass of foliage. Shady places can be toned up with Swan River Daisies, Asters, Myosotis, or a sunny 

 knoll with yellow Columbines in spring or dazzling Poppies in midsummer. The combinations which can be made 

 are nearly endless, and vary greatly with soil and situation. 



For sowing in shrubbery, under trees and in beds on which no care will be bestowed, or even for sowing in exposed 

 situations where wildness is preferred to order and precision, we offer a mixture of the various flower seeds that are 

 suitable for the purpose. The mixture comprises Mignonette, Candytuft, Larkspurs, Marigolds, Poppies, Foxgloves,' 

 and many other garden favorites which v ill flower successively and yield an abuudance of bloom.
