44 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 
Don’t spoil a new lawn with light sprinkling. If water 
must be added, let it run in a full stream until the soil is 
thoroughly soaked. 
FLORAL DISPLAY. 
As announced in the February number of the BuLLerin, 
a large Easter display of flowering bulbous plants compris- 
ing tulips, lilies, narcissi, daffodils and hyacinths, in almost 
endless variety, will be shown in the north wing of the new 
plant range. The collection will be in place on Easter Sun- 
day, and may be expected to be at its best during the follow- 
ing ten days or two weeks. Additional variety will be sup- 
plied by spireeas, calla lilies and primroses. Following the 
bulb display—beginning about April 10 to 15—the prin- 
cipal attractions in the floral display houses will be spirsas, 
calceolaria hybrids, matricarias, ornamental tobaccos, and, 
somewhat later, roses and hydrangeas. It should be em- 
phasized that at all times other flowering plants will be 
shown which, because of their number, cannot be enumer- 
ated, but which add greatly to the variety and interest of 
the collections. Among these may be mentioned the glox- 
inias, with their delicate shades of color, large showy flowers 
and vivid green foliage, which will begin to make their ap- 
pearance toward the end of April, though not becoming 
prominent until May.
