BUSY LITTLE ELFINS 



YeSyThey Are Busy— Bringing More Joy toYour Spring Garden 



Here we have those glamorous loveUes that mean so much to us because they 

 are the first to lift their heads while winter is far from gone. Ever since childhood 

 the first Snowdrop has meant the beginning of a new season, with all its thrills and 

 promises. Winter Aconite, resembling golden yellow buttercups, is its worthy 

 companion in the earliest outdoor flower display. Soon Crocuses join the Parade 

 with a wealth of bright colors, and from then on others just keep the gardener 

 busy admiring their charm and loveliness. Glory-of-the-Snow and Scillas intro- 

 duce the first true blue shades and soon are joined by Grape Hyacinths, with the 

 richly fragrant Jonquils adding brilliant yellow for a striking contrast. Before 

 long Snowflakes lift their graceful white bells above a mass of bright green foliage. 

 You need them all to give the garden that perfect, finished look. 



Spring'Flowering CROCUS 



Of course, you want Crocus, lots of them, planted in groups or drifts with the 

 bulbs spaced 2 to 3 inches apart, and covered aiiout 3 inches 'deep. They are 

 wonderful in sunny nooks and corners, in the foreground of the flower border, 

 or naturalized in the lawn. To make them last there you must not cut the greiss 

 until their leaves have turned yellow. Take your choice of colors or plant the 

 mixture.

Gloryof'the-Snow • CHIONODOXA 



Luciliae. One of the most satisfactory of all the "httle bulbs,"

These like a moderately 

 moist soil yet where no water 

 stands for any length of time.

 size is concerned, they have an 

 alluringly sweet fragrance and 

 their bright yellow color makes 

 them conspicuous among the 

 green leaves.

 miniature counterpart to a 

 Giant Trumpet Daff'odil, 

 with finely sculptured trum- 

 pet and star-shaped perianth 

 — all of a brilliant golden yel-
