Spring Bulbs. 



There are several bulbs, which are planted in 

 Spring, to bloom in Summer. One of the most 

 important kinds amongst them are the Gladioli. 

 They are priceless in the summer garden, and 

 give as cutflowers the greatest satisfaction. As 

 with the Irisses, every bud develops into bloom. 

 They can be planted in single groups or amongst 

 low shrubs. When planted as solitaires or in 

 groups the taller kinds want staking. 



Other kinds of spring bulbs and tuberous 

 plants are: the Anemones (we spoke about them 

 previously) the Tuberous Begonias (a finer 

 bedding plant with its gorgeous flowers hardly 

 exist) the Dahlias, Montbretias, Tigridias etc., 

 etc., etc. They all add most abundantly to the 

 beauty of the garden, provided they get a sunny 

 spot and good soil. 



A few hints, 



Order your bulbs in time. 



Give your order to a thoroughly reliable bulb 

 firm. Buying bulbs is altogether a matter of trust. 

 An amateur cannot see on the outside of a bulb 

 what it will do later on. It is the pride of a good 

 bulb merchant to sell only the best. He knows 

 that his new customers will come back to thim 

 when they want a fresh supply. 



When you have received your parcel unpack 

 the bulbs immediately and if it is impossible to 

 plant them there and then, put them down, each 

 separately, in a cool dry place out of the sun. 



If one takes to heart all the hints given in .this 

 booklet, there is no doubt about one's success
