Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom cyclopediaofamer06bail Year: 1906 1978 WILD GARDEN WIND-BREAKS While the wild garden was created to make a place for plants outside the garden proper, it does not ex- clude the garden favorites. For example, an individual larkspur, foxglove or harebell in rieh garden soil often grows so tall and slender as to require staking, and stakes are always objectionable. In the wild garden a lusty colony of any of these species may be self-support- ing. All the leading border favorites can be used in the wild garden âpeony, poppy, phlox, larkspur, iris, columbine and the rest. The tall-growing plants that are used in the back row of borders are nearly all suit- borders, preferably well towards the rear of the place. However, there are degrees of wild gardening, and it is often in place against the rear buildings or even against the rear of the house. Figs. 2723, 2728. Everyone who desires a wild garden should own a copy of that charming book 'The Wild Garden,' by Wm. Robinson. The latest edition, illustrated by Alfred Parsons, is the most desirable. The wild garden should not be confined to 'wild' things, but may well include many exotics. In this way the wild gardeD be- comes something more than an epitome of the local flora; and there is practically no limit to its in- terest and development. vp jj_ WILD ALLSPICE. See Benzoin. W.
