quot with which to grace the break fast-table
There is nothing SO charming to use for folias
! as this same Fern that grows a common weed
varieties nrc beautiful, aud any ono who has
damp, shaded place would find it to their inter
est to grow these pretty fronds, II only for th
beauty Of their foliage.
For other beds, there is tho common white
Day Lily, the ucu,erocall,.s or Funkia Of tht
florist and this reminds us to suggest to tl,t
NOVICE who il not acquainted with tile botanical
names Of flowers, not to 10 taken in
| BY H1du-soUSDISa TITLES.
I for they sometimes, like oher now-nade patante
weeda: These Lilies arc hardy, aud. once plant

| beauty and sweetness. There is also the Jeran
Lily, which will repay cultivation, aud great
many different members Of the same family.
| Gladioli are more expensive, but will repay
! both care and cost, when they can be lavshed
upon them. peoniee. Dahlias, and Pinlts may be
named in addition; but it would require moro
space than We have for the enumeration Of thoee
plants which any one may have if they wish. We
must plead, however, for the fragrant Lilyof-tle-
Valley, tho Sweet Violet, and Mignonette, among
the smaller blossoms.
THUS far VIC have been confning ourselves to
such flowers as may be grown within tie limits
OF large city. Scarcely any house but has q
few feet in tue trout and rea;, that be devot-
mon Morning Glory. with its delicate trl11npots
of blue, pink, and white, moro gratifying to tho
eyo than An unsghtly board-fence. Gourls,
Towering Beans, Wild Cucumbers, arc all ayalla-
and no time to bestow upon tho proper outside
ndorning Of her home pro TEN. For those,
however, who, living just outside OF the city
proper,
HAVE ABUNDANT nooa,
there is no excuse for not giving time and at
Ill
arc humanizins; their beauty is free to ALL and,
like ''the quality Of mercy. is not strained" but
gives to the poor, well tho rich, All idea Of
higher, purer things than are to be found in the
common, etony soil, urgraced by single flower.
Again, It blesseth him that gives, and him that
takes,"-th man of means and culture, who
makes garden Of color and perfume about Ills
house, and gives its beauty to the paEEer-by, and
the poor outcast, WHO, tol-worn aud weary,
having no foot Of earth ho can call bis own,
pauses in hia tramp to refresh his Dyes with the
loyeliness which Nature aided by man has so
layishIy bestowed.
HERE THERE NEED TIE 30 LIMIT

should bo covered witt: vines, and Nature should

figure the lawn proper with too many beds, but,
above all, don't cut it up in series of geometrca
