FOR FULL DESCRIPTIONS SEE BODY OF CATALOGUE. 
Year by year we see the taste 
increasing for the so-called “ Wild 
Garden,” or the groupjpg of hardy 
subjects in a free and unconventional 
manner, leaving them to colonize 
and form themselves into pretiy 
natural groups, such as nature ex- 
hibits to us in her woods and copses, 
and wherever she has been left to 
reign undisturbed. This phase of 
gardening is one which must have 
a great attraction for the lover of 
hardy flowers ; by it, bare and ugly 
places may be made beautiful, and a 
charm added to the landscape. Few 
sights are more beautiful in Spring 
than such hardy flowers as Daffodils, 
Snowdrops, Chionodoxas, Musi aris, 
Anemones, &c., established in grass. 
The experiment has been success- 
fully made at Kew Gardens, to the 
great delight of visitors, and this 
Spring large stretches and slopes of

earliest dawn of Spring the following 
flowers will lighten up the landscape. 
with their fresh bright colours : Winter Aconites, Snowdrops , Early Scil/as, Chionodoxas, Early Daffodils, &c. , fol- 
lowed by later-flowering Daffodils , Crocuses , Muscaris , A nemones, Star of Bethlehem, Cowslips, Saxifraga Cam- 
posit, Late Scillas, Cottage Tulips, &c. All the foregoing may be grown in grass-land where the grass is not cut 
till the meadows are mown. On lawns, which require cutting earlier, such charming little early flowering 
subjects as Snowdrops, Chiondoxas, Early Dwarf Daffodils, and Scillas may be planted. In places where 
the grass is not required to be cut, a still wider scope for gardening presents itself, as several of our Summer 
and Autumn-flowering Lilies may be introduced, as also other tall and stately flowers. 
N.B.— We have marked thus + those flowers which will thrive in ehady places, under trees, on 
shady banks, &c., or may be planted in the open border. The variously coloured Wood Hyacinths (Blue 
Bells) will establish themselves freely under Pine and Fir trees and in shady nooks, where scarcely any other 
flower will thrive, and seen thus they present a lovely sight. § Indicates those bulbs, &c. , which are essentially 
wood plants, and should only be grown in shady situations.
