Hardy Bulbs for Naturalizing or Wild Gardening. 



Beautiful effects are produced by planting such hardy bulbs as thrive and increase by neglect — in quantity or masses in woodlands, orchards, shrubbery borders, 



in meadow or grass land and on slopes, terraces, waterside banks, etc. The bulbs, etc., offered below will increase and flower annually — if the foliage is al'owed to 



ripen. They are sufficiently moderate in price to be planted in liberal quantities, choosing sorts adapted to the situations indicated in the key printed below. The 



planting should be done in the fall when the ground is moist and soft so that a dibber or bulb planter (offered on page 70) can be used without digging the ground. 



Avoid all formality by scattering the bulbs by hand and planting them where they fall — thickly clustered in some places and thin in others as if growing wild-. 



For woodland, partial shade under deciduous trees etc., select from bu'bs marked <t> For open situations in field or border select from kinds marked ^t 



For moist shaded situations, etc " " " " 4" For banks of streams, ponds or lake side " . " " "A 



For Grassland, meadows etc., " " " " □ Forlawns not mown before bulbs are ripe " " " " +
