DOROXICUM 



DORONICUM (Leopard's Bane) 



Excelsum. Large bright yellow flowers and one of 

 the most effective very early spring flowering peren-

 no idea of the eflEect it has when planted in a mass. 

 It is also a splendid flower for cutting, as it carries 

 well and stands a long time in water, opening out 

 morning after morning. They succeed everywhere.

ECHINOPS 



CHOICE HARDY FERNS 



Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost every garden. 

 With few e-xceptions they do best in a shady or semi-shady position in rich 

 well-drained soil, where they can be liberally supplied with water during dry 

 weather. Where the soil is stiff or clayey, incorporate a liberal quantity of 

 leaf-mould, peat or other loose material to make it friable.
