Our meadows can be filled with spring flowers without impairing the hay crop. Mr. Robinson's meadows contain millions of bulbous flowers, great sheets of checkered lilies {Fritillaria Melea-gris), and the sweet blue wind-flowers, of which the finest is Anemone Robinsoniana (supposed to be a variety of A. nemorosa). We cannot stain our meadows blue in March with the Apennine and Grecian wind-flowers (Anemone Apennina and blanda), but we can have goodly sheets of sky-blue scillas and glory-of-the-snow. And daffodils will realize Wordsworth's vision for us in April. Every one knows about his "ten thousand daffodils at a single glance." To accomplish this order ten thousand bulbs of Prin-ceps (the earliest yellow trumpet daffodil suitable for naturalizing) and plant them this fall. In seven years they should number fifty thousand. And the whole effect, bulbs, planting, and after care, can be had for only one hundred dollars! If you would rather have great sheets of fragrant white flowers the first half of May, you can have the poet's narcissus, which is the cheapest of all, costing only five dollars a thousand ordinarily.

25. THE LEMON LILY (HEMEROCALLIS FLA VA), NATURALIZED BY THE WATERSIDE AT GRAVETYE. A LARGE, FRAGRANT, YELLOW FLOWER OF JUNE. THE NARROW LEAVES HARMONIZE WITH THE TALL GRASS, AND BOTH CAN BE MOWED IN LATE JUNE WITHOUT HARMING THE LILIES. THEY CAN BE PLANTED IN SPRING OR FALL.
