Anthericums (see page 16), very graceful and decorative in grass. 
Asphodolus ramosus (King’s Spear, see Plant Catalogue), a fine plant for naturalising in grass. 
Ghionodoxas (page 20) are amongst the most beautiful of early blue flowers, and should be largely used 
where the grass is kept short and not allowed to grow too coarse. 
Crocuses. In grass the bright fresh colours of spring Crocuses contrast charmingly with their carpet 
of green. The beauty of C. speriosus (page 22) in September is most striking, while C. Tom * 
masinianus (page 23) produces a lovely effect in February and March. 
Cyclamen (see page 23), for naturalising under trees, on rockwork, etc. 
Daffodils. For these favourite flowers, we refer readers to our Daffodil Catalogue. 
Dog’s Tooth Yiolets (Erythronium, page 25) are lovely little subjects for shady places where the 
grass is not too rank. 
Fritillaries (page 26). The purple and white Snakeshead Fritillaries (F. vieleagris) are found growing 
wild in a few districts in England, and thus seen form a charming picture, full of grace and beauty. 
For shady corners they will be greatly appreciated, also when naturalised in grass. 
Funkias (see our Hardy Plant Catalogue), we specially recommend these handsome plants for naturalising 
in woodlands, shady walks, or by waterside. 
Helleborus ( see our Hardy Plant Catalogue), for naturalising in shady places and in fern plantations. 
Hemerocallis (see our Hardy Plant Catalogue), fine plants for shrubberies, wild gardens, or sunny 
situations by the waterside. 
Irises, Tall and Dwarf Flag (see our Hardy Plant Catalogue), for naturalising in shubberies, wild 
gardens, and the dwarfer varieties for sunny banks. 
Muscari (page 48). M. Heavenly Blue may be termed the Queen of Blue Flowers ; for a distant 
effect, massed on grassy banks or grouped for colour, it has no equal. M. botryoides cceruleum and 
its varieties, flowering earlier than Heavenly Blue, are also charming little subjects to naturalise. 
Ornithogalums (page 52), flowering freely anywhere, and producing a very beautiful effect when 
dibbled in on banks and blended with Tulips, Muscari, etc. 
Scillas, early- and late-flowering, are charming naturalised. 
Tulips, these may often be naturalised on banks where, in the same locality, if planted on the level 
they die out. Tulipa sylvestris major and the dainty little Tulipa persica may be naturalised almost 
anywhere ; the May-flowering Cottage Tulips (page 66) should be freely used for naturalising, 
especially Picotee , Parisian Yellow , macrospila , Gesneriana , Bouton d'or, etc. Plant at least 6 to 
9 inches deep. All Tulips thrive best in partial shade and where sheltered from keen winds. 
Wood Hyacinths (Late-flowering Scillas) (page' 55) should be planted freely in shady walks; they 
soon make themselves at home and seed plentifully, with the result of much beautiful variation in 
form and character. Under pine and fir trees they may be naturalised with success.
