WILD AND SPRING GARDENS 



Pyrus Japonica and the Genista must not be omitted from our 

 list. 



It would, of course, be easy to extend this list of plants and bulbs 

 and shrubs, but a mere catalogue of all that can be grown in a Spring 

 Garden is scarcely desirable. Rather, the endeavour here made is 

 to stimulate the enthusiasm of the lover of Spring flowers, to remind 

 him how potent is the spell, how fair is the witchery, of Spring's 

 sweet touch of fragrance; for when once the enthusiasm is arouspd, 

 no gardener will find much difficulty in niaking a Spring Garden. 

 And who can resist the call of Spring, when — " Lo, the winter is past, 

 the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth, and the 

 time of the singing of birds is come "?
