One of the most charming, and at the same time satisfactory, plants I knuw of for massing Ind nntunlizing on the borders of our ravines, in open wondhmi, guides, or even under large groups of shrubs Var 1ow-brattehed trees. is the spring blooming Vir- giniln Blue-hell (Mortensie pulmon- arinidos, syr. M. Virttiniea) which should ho planted any time between August and November. This plant loses its foliage soon attorvhlooming, hut reappears the following spring. lf planted under trees or old shrubs whose rmts seem to be Almost at the surface, it is well to place five or six inches of good soil on the undue be. fore planting. Plant 10 to 12 inches apart. The rains have carried the seed of my plents down the ravine bank and created new colonies. As this plant blooms before the foliage Blast are they who possess a heav- ily wooded ravine, for in its deep re- cesses are found a host of early bloomers which revel while they can in the sunshine that fliters through the Ieai1etm branches overhead, and then sink into slumber under the shadowy blanket of a summer's Ver- due; but ere the memory of their charms has faded they appear attain, forerunners of our summer. tressures. This cnmmlmrlimt by nature of the flora of the fields and woods says to us', "Go thou and do likewise." In the planting of our grounds there are two mahods to be eonaidered,--otre, the wild planting, in which Idditions are made to the plants allydy existing, either " the same kin or other m- twes, or even exotics. provided they are robust enough to maintain their part in the battle of life, and are of such character that they look as it they belonged there.

The next "wild plant" in the chain of my "ectioru, whose charms are in harmony with the surroundings we have to offer them, in the biennial Thinleaved Cottefiower (Rudbeckit triloba) a native of Northern Illinois and generally found in dry open WOCdS. While it is a true biennial, dying after it has bloomed, it repro- duces itself so freely when once es- tablished that it remains forevermore. If plants should come up where not wanted, they are readily transplanted. It. in not found in our clay loam, " it likes an open, free soil.
