Spring Flowering Bulbs 



FOR THE GARDEN, ROCK GARDEN AND NATURALISTIC PLANTING 



Without bulbs, rock gardens do not reach their 

 prime until Summer, but when bulbs are used the 

 flowering period of a rock garden will be extended 

 considerably, as bulbs produce a rich variety of 

 form and color during Spring.

to bloom in the Spring. Purple, striped, white or yellow.
