BELLIS PERENNIS NATURALIZED ON THE BANK OF A POND 
Plants Suitable for Naturalizing 
The most delightful and least troublesome form of gardening is the planting of 
suitable hardy plants and bulbs in the rougher parts of the 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 c f meadows and orchards, along streams and ponds and 
on the edges of woods and wilt, shrubbery. We give a few suitable varieties below hut 
there are scores of others, and we shall be glad to send a list of these when desired. 
BELLIS perennis (Double English Daisy). Our illustration shows how charming 
this popular little flower 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. 
per doz., $2 per 100. 
A8TER Novae-Angliae 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. 
$1.50 per doz., $8 per 100. 
AQUILEGIA Canadensis. This beautiful native Columbine grows wild in many parts 
of the country. There is no finer subject for naturalizing. It is perfectly at 
home on a rocky bank or in the grass. $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Caerulea (True). This charming blue and white Columbine is one of the loveliest 
of garden plants and just as desirable for naturalizing. $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100. 
Chrysantha. A bright yellow Columbine that is in bloom for two months. Used 
with A. cwrulea, blue, and A. Canadensis , red, a most charming picture can be 
made. $1.50 per doz., $8 per 100. 
HARDY ENGLISH PRIMROSE. One of the loveliest sights in all England are the 
hardy Primroses in bloom in orchard and meadows in early spring. In many 
places the ground is carpeted with their lovely canary-yellow flowers, which are 
delightfully fragrant. They are equally hardy here, and nothing can be more 
delightful either for naturalizing in orchard, meadow along a brook, or planting in 
borders or along the edge of a shrubbery border. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $5 per 
100. 
CORONILLA varia. One of the prettiest floral pictures we have ever seen was a great 
mass of this in one of the meadows of Franklin Park, Boston. It completely cov¬ 
ered the ground and had oiled itself up in a pleasing tangled mass of green foli¬ 
age and white and pink hioom. $1.25 per doz. 
HELIANTHUS, or HARDY S'JNFLOWERS. All varieties of Hardy Sunflowers are 
fine for naturalizing, and where the selection of varieties is left to us we will fur¬ 
nish them at the following low prices $1 per doz., $6 per 100, $50 per 1,000.
