Two thousand Snowdrop bulbs, Galanthus Elwesti, have also 
been planted under the oak trees immediately south of the barberry 
collection, 
A large number of bulbs have been added to those already at 
home in the rock garden, including one thousand Crocuses, both 
autumn and spring flowering; five hundred Glory of the Snow, 
Chionodoxa Luciliae; five hundred Grape Hyacinth, Muscari bo- 
tryoides; and five hundred Siberian Squill, Scilla sibirica. 
Although not “showy,” in the ordinary sense, the bed of Sum- 
mer Hyacinths (Galtonia candicans), in the Monocotyledon sec- 
tion, containing about six hundred bulbs planted last spring, created 
great interest. These bulbs were removed this fall to make room 
for a collection of tulips—one thousand bulbs in forty species and 
varieties. These in turn will be lifted next spring, after blooming, 
to make room for Galtonia to provide a summer display. The 
near-by Amaryllidaceae bed has been planted with approximately 
six hundred Narcissus in twenty-four species and varieties. The 
idea in this and the tulip bed is to represent so far as possible the 
various types of flowers found in these genera.
