moist soil. Common Daisy ( Beilis perennis ), any soil. 
Rampion Bell-flower ( Campanula Rapunculus ), blue or 
white, gravel or sandy soil. Hairbell ( Campanula rotun- 
difolia ), colour and habitat same as last species. Com¬ 
mon Ling ( Calluna vulgaris ), purple or white, sandy soil. 
Common Privet ( Ligustrum vulgare), white, grows fast 
and strong, will make fine shelter for delicate ferns, 
as it will stand almost any soil and bear any cut¬ 
ting when well set. Periwinkle ( Vinca minor'), purplish- 
blue, a ground creeper, very useful, especially if the 
fernery is on high ground. Marsh Gentian ( Gentiana 
Pneumonanthe), blue, four to ten inches, moist sandy soil. 
Small Convolvulus or Bindweed ( Convolvulus Arvensis ), 
rose colour. N.B. Though in some cases useful, caution 
must be used in planting this in any fernery. Being a 
strong growing plant, it has a tendency to “ choke ” more 
delicate growths, and with advantage the Periwinkle 
may often take its place. But the Great Convolvulus 
(Calystegia sepium), white, is not open to these great 
objections; being a creeper, and growing in almost any 
moist soil, it will be found very useful, especially if the 
“fernery” is made near a clump of trees or shrubs.
