FLOWERS "THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING 



» 



Flowers "that bloom in the spring" have always appealed to the 

 imagination; but the eye of the suburban dweller is seldom cheered 

 by the sight of really early spring flowers in gardens. Not that such 

 displays are impossible for there is much gardening material avail- 

 able. The only reason that we so seldom see early spring flowers in 

 gardens must be that the owners do not know about the spring flower- 

 ing Holland Bulbs which are planted in the Fall of the year. This 

 catalogue is issued for the purpose of making this known to thousands 

 of new customers, as well as to offer the bulbs to our old customers. 

 What a drawback to the garden enjoyment is the brevity of its 

 flowering period. Instead of five months of such pleasure we should 

 have seven. 



By planting this fall, the spring-flowering bulbs offered on the 

 succeeding pages, you can have flowers in your garden six weeks 

 earlier than you did before. 



Begin with the perennial border which has now assumed such 

 prominence in the modern garden. Plant among the other flowering 

 plants the Darwin Tulip, the Cottage Tulips and also the Early 



Tulips and Crocus. Scillas are effective planted this way. also 

 Daffodils and Lilies. Iris, both the German and Japan varieties. 

 Peonies as well should have their place in the Perennial Border. 



BULBS IN THE ROCKERY AND ROCK GARDEN 



Plant plenty of Bulbs in your Rockery or Rock Garden, and you 

 will be surprised at the early blooms produced when bulbs are planted 

 in such situations. 



For the situations described we would recommend Henderson's
