BARR & SUGDEN’S COMPENDIUM 
HYACINTH RIBBON BORDER. 
No. 6.— Plant the Hyacinths in wavy lines, selecting double or single varieties from those enumerated 
from 94 to 113, and between the rows plant the following : — 1st, as an edging, Arabia mollis 
vanegata ; 2nd, between the first two rows of Hyacinths, Red Daisy ; 3rd, White Daisy • 4th 
Blue lansy ; 5th, Yellow Pansy ; 6th, Purple Pansy ; 7th, White Sileue ; 8th, Pink Silene • 
9th * . rk Wallflower or Purple Honesty. The plants so arranged without Hyacinths make 
a glorious border, and so do the Hyacinths without the plants, but the combination increases 
the effect, variety, and duration of the border.

desired, we recommend the Paxtonian single and the double varieties named in the body of the 
catalogue} and as we cannot improve on the arrangement of the plants suggested for the

CROCUS BEDS. 
22 Bed. Plant with Crocus, distinct varieties. If a circular bed, plant strong lines of Yellow 
Crocus, ladiatmg from the centre to the circumference, and fill in the spaces with white, purple, 
and striped varieties, and edge with Snowdrops or Winter Aconites ; if the bed is square, or any 
other form, it may still be divided us suggested, or varied according to the taste of the cultivator, 
lhe Crocus will bloom very early ; therefore, to prolong the beauty of the bed, intermix Pansies, 
blue, purple, yellow, and white, each colour distinct.

makes a glorious bed ; or it may be used for separating the other colours, as we have recom- 
mended the Yellow- Crocus in No. 18 Bed ; or the colours may range in circles or masses. To 
prolong the beauty of the bod until June, intersect the Anemones with Saponaria or Lim- 
nanthes, and edge with Blue or Purple Pansy, or Yellow Crocus. 
RANUNCULUS BEDS.
