Natural Plantings 
Where the home grounds are very extensive, it is often desirable to give some part 
of it up to a Natural Planting. This is done by planting those things which are native to 
the immediate regions. Varieties that are not native, but which have similar character- 
istics, may be used. These plantings should be made of ii-regular clumps made up of several 
plants of a kind — rarely more than two kinds in a group. The grouping of such a planting 
requires thorough study of the surroundings. 
The following lists enumerate varieties suitable for such a purpose in New England. 
A dagger (t) indicates those varieties suitable for sea-shore planting.
