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 announce 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.

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

 are out of bloom.

 hardy, fall-flowering bulbous plant with beau- 

 tiful purple-lilac flowers feathered with white

 garden.

 with contrasting orange-red anthers arising 

 from a lovely yellow throat. It is well suited to 

 growing indoors in pots or pans.

 lovely combination of rosy lilac with a yellow 

 center surrounded by a bright orange zone.
