He filled one end with every delicate, lacy vine and fern he could transplant successfully.

The body of the bed was a riot of color.
Here he set growing dainty blue-eyed-Marys and blue-eyed grass side by side.

He planted harebells; violets, blue, white, and yellow; wild geranium, cardinal-flower, columbine, pink snake's mouth, buttercups, painted trilliums, and orchis.

Here were blood-root, moccasin-flower, hepatica, pitcher-plant, Jack-in-the-pulpit, and every other flower of the Limberlost that was in bloom or bore a bud presaging a flower.

Every day saw the addition of new specimens.
