B The native bloodroot (Sanguinaria Can- 

 adensis) interests as much by its handsome 

 white-coated foliage as by its pretty white 

 flower. The situation described is ideal for 

 it. The thick, fleshy rootstocks find their way 

 into the rock crevice^, and when once estab- 

 lished this plant is hard to depose. 



PALL-PLANTED BULBS 



The spring-flowering bulbs already men- 

 tioned, and also most of the varieties of nar- 

 cissus and jonquils, should be planted in the 

 fall, between such late-flowering subjects as 

 foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), columbine 

 (Aquilegia Canadensis), and blanket flower 

 (Gaillardia aristata, known to the trade as G. 

 grandiflora). The one succeeding the other 

 prolongs the flowering period. The glory - 

 of-the-snow (Chionodoxa Lucilice, known to 

 the trade as C. grandiflora) is one of the pret- 

 tiest of spring-flowering bulbs.
