BELLIS PERENNIS NATURALIZED ON THE BANK OF A POND 
Plants Suitable for Naturalizing 
. 1 lie most delightful and least troublesome form of Hardening is the planting of 
suitable hardy plants and bulbs in the rougher parts of Ihe grounds and allowing them 
to take care of themselves exactly the same as the wild flowers. Many plants are 
perfectly at home in the grass; of course we do not mean the grass of a lawn which 
must, be mown, but the grass of meadows and orchards, along streams and ponds and 
on the edges of woods and wild shrubbery. We give a few suitable varieties below but 
there are scores of others, and we shall he glad to send a list of these when desired. 
BELLIS perennis (Double English Daisy). Our illustration shows how charming 
this popular little (lower is when naturalized. It can even be grown on the lawn, 
as it accommodates itself to the lawn-mower. White and pink varieties 50 cts

ASTER Novae-Anglias rubra. Everybody knows the wild Asters which make such 
beautiful pictures along the roadside in the fall, but this splendid large-flowered 
variety does not grow wild throughout the country. Either for naturalizing, for 
the garden or for planting among shrubbery, there is no finer fall-flowering plant
