SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS 



For the Garden, Rock-Garden and Naturalistic Planting 



Spring bulbs are among the most eagerly awaited flowers of the whole garden, for they an- 

 nounce a new growing season. They may be planted among perennials, at the edge of a shrub 

 border, or on a grassy slope where they can produce a naturalistic effect. They add a great deal 

 to the spring rock-garden. 



Autumn-flowering Crocus 



Plant Now -Bloom This Fall 



They are excellent for planting in the grass and on the borders of shrubbery. Given a sheltered and 

 sunny position in the rock-garden, they add delightful color at a time when most rock-garden plants are 

 out of bloom.
