Wood and garden; notes and thoughts, practical and critical, of a working amateur . d Michaelmas Daisies are replanted every year assoon as their bloom is over, the ground having beennewly dug and manured. The old roots, which willhave increased about fourfold, are pulled or choppedto pieces, nice bits with about five crowns being chosenfor replanting; these are put in groups of three to fivetogether. Tall-growing kinds like Novi Belgi RobertParker are kept rather towards the back, while thoseof delicate and graceful habit, such as cordifolius elegansand its good variety Diana are allowed to come for-ward. The fine dwarf Aster Amellus is used in ratherlarge quantity, coming quite to the front in someplaces, and runjiing in and out between the clumps ofother kinds. Good-sized groups of Pyrethnim uligi-nosum are given a place among the Asters, for thoughof quite another family, they are Daisies, and bloomat Michaelmas, and are admirable companions to themain occupants of the borders. The only other plantsadmitted are white DahUas, the two differently striped.
