30 BULBS AND THEIR CULTIVATION, 



lised to good effect by growing any of the bulbs named for 

 the woodland garden. Certainly the white and the blue 

 common bluebell, and Spanish bluebell (Scilla hispanica) 

 in its several varieties, might be grown under the trees, 

 and the other kinds grouped on the margins of the borders. 

 Bulbs that have been used for forcing or pot culture might 

 be utilised, too, for such positions. 



Bulbs by the Waterside Several lilies do well in 

 moist soil on the margins of water, as, for example, L. 

 Burbankii; canadense, and its varieties; carniolicum and 

 carolineum; pardalinum, and its varieties; Parryi, phila- 

 delphicum, Roezlii, and parvum, Fritillaria meleagris and 

 its varieties, Narcissus odorus, poeticus, Emperor, 

 Empress, Sir Watkin, Barrii conspicuus, Stella superba, 

 and Duchess of Westminster. These grouped in colonies 

 will not only flourish, but also flower profusely every year. 



Bulbs on Banks. On rough grassy banks crocuses, 

 snowdrops, and Poet's Narcissus invariably do well, and 

 may be planted in good bold masses.
