In Collections for Permanent Effects 



IN LAWNS AND GARDENS. 



\fnj) EAUTIFUL and permanent effects can be obtained by planting 



§ |L -V hardy bulbs in groups and masses on the lawn, in shady nooks 

 1/ where they find a congenial and permanent home, flowering 

 abundantly in their season, and requiring little or no care after 

 being planted. This mode of planting is termed "naturalizing," and is now generally followed in Great Britain and on the 

 continent. It adds a charm to tangled and half wild places, heightens the natural effects of light and shade, and imparts a natural 

 grace and beauty to the scene. Our collection is made up of such sorts as give the greatest range of color with the longest period 

 of bloom, so that an assortment of flowers can be had throughout the season. We offer these collections at one-third below the 

 regular price, so as to encourage this style of planting.
