Henderson^s Selection of 

 BULBS FOR ROCK-GARDENS 



Bulbs of certain varieties are indispensable for the rock- 

 garden, if there is to be anj' effective display of flowers in 

 early spring. 



The best way to plant them is in the various pockets of soil 

 to be found in abundance all over a rock-garden. 



Bulbs grow very freely and increase greatly from year 

 to year until they finally become large clumps; which can then 

 be divided and used for other purposes about the garden. 



We illustrate on this page ten of the varieties most used, 

 and also offer others in the list below, and we wish parti- 

 cularly to draw attention to the miniature Narcissi illustrated 

 on this page; as they are now much in demand for planting in 

 rock-gardens.

 bearing 10 to 15 lovely Scilla-like flowers. They are perfectly hardy,
