Hardy Spring-flowering Carpeting & Bedding Plants 
To associate with Spring-flowering Bulbs in beds and borders. 
For Spring decoration in association with bulbs the following plants will be found most useful. By their use as a 
groundwork or edging the most beautiful harmonies of colour may be obtained. Few sights in Spring arc more beautiful 
than masses of the gold, white, and blue of the Alyssum, Arabis, and Aubrletia associated with breadths of Daffodils , 
Scillas, Muscarls, etc., or Forget-me*Nots (Mi/osolis) and Golden Polyanthuses mingling with Daffodils or with gorgeous « 
and stately Darwin Tulips. The Aceenas, Arenaria balearica, Hemiaria glabra. Mossy Saxifragas, and Thymes 
make beautiful carpets of foliage for the smaller and daintier Spring bulbous flowers, such as Narcissus Triandrus, Chiono- 
doxas, Small Croons Species, etc.
