. The wild garden; or, Our groves and gardens made beautiful by the naturalisation of hardy exotic plants ... Gardening; Flowers; Wild flowers. RABBITS AND WOODS. 175 A correspondent who has given much attention to the subject (Salmoniceps) gives the follov\'ing, as among the most rabbit-proof of plants :—" Most of the Lily family are," he says, " rejected by them, including Daffodils, Tulips, Snowdrops, Snowflakes, Lilies, Day Lilies, Asphodels, and others, and they cannot be too extensively planted ; but even in that tribe the Crocus (which is also named in the article in question) is greedily devoured. I gave—in an early number of your paper (see pp. 9 and 88, Vol. I.)—a list of all rabbit-proof trees, shrubs, and flowers then known to me, and I regret that, though keep- ing a watch upon the siTbjfeet, I have not been able to add a single species to the list given ; Androssemum officinale. Anemone coronaria. „ japonica. Arabis. Artemesia Abrotanum. Asphodelus albus. Aubrietia. Berberis Darwinii. Canterbury Bells. Cineraria maritima. Columbine. * Common andjjlrish Yews. Deutzia scabra. Dog's-tooth Violet. Elder. Euonymns. Fuchsia. Hibiscus syriacus. Hollies. Honesty (Lunaria). Iris. Ligustrum vulgane. Lilies (common orange and white kinds). Lily of the Valley. Lycium barbarum. Mahonia Aquifolium. Monkshood. Muscari. Narcissus. Ornithogalum. Periwinkle (large and small). Phlox, in var. Poppy. Primrose, in var. Roses. Ruscus aculeatus. „ racemosus. Scilla. Solomon's Seal. Lonicera, in var. Stachys lanata. Symphoricarpus „ racemosus. Syringa persica. „ vulgaris. Tritoma. Violets. Weigela rosea. Winter Aconite. Woodruff. Yucca gloriosa. Lists, however, and considerations of the above sort, are a poor substitute for what is really required in such cases—the extermination of pests which are destructive alike to field crops, to trees and shrubs, and to plants, and which offer at best a very scanty return for the havoc they commit
