TULIPS AND NARCISSI IN GRASS. 



That tulips and narcissus planted in 

 the sod can be made a success has 

 been proved on this place. Five years 

 ago 27,000 Early Bedding tulips, all 

 colors, were planted in holes made 

 with a pointed spade handle, three 

 inches under the sod, from six to ten 

 inches apart. Today these tulips are 

 flowering almost as good as they did 

 the first year. With the exception of 

 a few spots (probably destroyed by 

 grubworms or moles) the tulips come 

 up in bunches of five to eight flowers 

 each, long stems and pretty foliage. 

 The beauty of such a mass in all col- 

 ors in the green grass is far ahead of 

 stiff beds which, besides, have to be 

 replanted every year. 



Narcissus, 6000 planted the same 

 way, is today finer than ever, almost 

 crowding out the grass. The work 

 done after the bulbs have been planted 

 is only a light mulching with rotted 

 manure each fall. The grass was 

 never cut before the leaves begun to 

 dry off, about three weeks after flower-
