Lily, and the yellow JVupIiar^ but the last is apt to become a nuisance where space 
is restricted. The rosy-flowered Polygonum is well worth a place; and in sheltered 
situations the Trumpet Lily {Richardia cethiopicci) is perfectly hardy if planted 2 ft. 
or 3 ft, deep, so as to escape frost in winter. Water-margins may be ornamented 
with the Golden and Purple Osiers, Arundo Donax^ Carex ptndida^ Common Bull- 
rush, and many other strong-growing, and effective sub-aquatics. Among trees 
and shrubs suitable for our present purpose, we have the Common Broom and Gorse, 
while Heather or Ling does well on rocky soils. Even Apple, Pear, and Cherry 
trees may be planted at intervals by woodland drives for the sake of their flowers ; 
and the early-blooming Almond should never be omitted. These and any other 
vigorous hardy ornamental-flowering trees and shrubs are permanent enough to 
be planted anywhere on the margins of dressed grounds, and the result will be to 
soften down that harsh and unnatural boundary-line which too often separates 
the garden proper from the Park and woodland walks or drives.—F. W. Buebihge.
