THE GARDEN IN SPRING, OR THE SPRING FLOWER GARDEN. 
LIST OF BULBS, PLANTS, AND SEEDS TO BE PLANTED OR SOWN IN AUTUMN, TO FLOWER IN SPRING. 
The Bulbs are ready to send out from the ist September to Christmas. 
The Plants are ready to send out from the ist October till March. 
The Seeds should be sown in August or September, according to locality. 
A Spring Garden means flowers, weather permitting, from Christmas to June, and no garden, whether large 
or small, need be without flowers from Christmas, if the bulbs, plants, and seeds enumerated, are used. At 
Cliveden, Spring gardening still maintains its prestige under the direction of Mr. Fleming, the Father of Spring 
Gardens. We are happy to say that Cliveden has its rivals, as there are now few localities where Spring gardening 
is not well represented. Of puolic gardens, the Lower Grounds, Aston, in the enterprising hands of Mr. Quilter, 
has attained an unprecedentedly high position for the immense masses of colour which are there brought out 
from the earliest dawn of Spring, followed in May by elaborate designs in which the Daisy, the Aubrietia, 
Pansies, and Violas pl.ay a prominent part. Mr. Quitter's Crocus-garden in March, his Tulip-garden in April,’ 
and his Daisy-garden in May are sights once seen not soon to be forgotten. The plants, bulbs, and seeds, for 
Spring gardening, are perfectly hardy, and they surpass in variety of tint, diversity of form and brilliancy of 
colour the subjects used in the Summer Flower Garden. 
Immediately the Summer flowering plants have been removed, the beds and borders should be forked up 
and manured, then planted as taste or .fancy may suggest, with Bulbs, such as Hyacinths, Narcissus, Tulips, 
Crocus, Snowdrops, Winter aconites, Triteleias, Ranunculus, Anemones, Crown Imperials and Scillas, and in 
addition to these there is a perfect galaxy of beauty to be realized from combinations' of the following plants 
Alyssum, Arabis, Aubrietia, Daisy, Forget-Me-Not, Pansy, Polyanthus, Phlo.x, Pink, Viola, and Wallflower. 
The annuals which should be sown in August and September, for the Spring flower garden, are Agrostemma, 
Alyssum, Calandrinia, Campanula, Candytuft, Clarkia, Collinsia, Eschscholtzia, Eucharidium, Eutoca, Gilia, 
Godetia, Lasthenia, Hymenoxis, Leptosiphon, Linaria, Lupinus, Nemophila, O.xyura, Platystemon, .Saponaria, 
Silene, Viscaria, Whitlavia, etc., 3d. and 6d. per packet. Full particulars of these Seeds will be found in our 
Spring Catalogue. Amongst ornamental foliage plants for the Spring Garden we may mention Golden Feathered 
Pyrethrum, Arabis albida fol. variegatis, Veronica incana, Aubrietia variegata, Cerastium tomentosum, the 
golden blotched Daisy, and the gold-margined Thyme. 
Fifty plants charged at the rate per too, a less quantity at the rate per doeen ; any quantity under half-a-dozen 
will be charged a little higher than by the dozen.
