THE GARDEN IN SPRING, OR THE SPRING FLOWER GARDEN. 
1, 1ST 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 1st September to Christmas. 
The Plants are ready to send out from the 1st October till March. 
The Seeds should be sown in August or September, according to locality. 
A Spiing Garden means flowers, weather permitting, from Christmas to June. The possessor of a garden, 
whether large or small, need have no difficulty in surrounding himself with flowers from Christmas, if he will 
make use for the purpose of the bulbs, plants, and seeds enumerated, or such of them as his accommodation or 
requirements demand. At Cliveden, Spring gardening still continues to maintain its prestige under the direction 
of Mr. Fleming, the Father of Spring Gardens. We are happy in being able to add, however, that Cliveden has 
its rivals ■ indeed, there are few localities now where Spring gardening is not well represented — either public or 
private, *Of public gardens, the Lower Grounds, Aston, in the enterprising hands of Mr. Quiltcr, has attained 
an unprecedentedly high position for Spring gardening, both in regard to the enormous extent and variety or 
design, and in the immense masses of colour which are brought out from the earliest dawn of Spring, followed 
in May by the elaborate designs and traceries in which the Daisy, the Aubrietia, Pansies, and V iolas play a 
prominent part. Mr. Quilter’s Spring Gardens are worth making a long journey to see from March to June. 
His 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, required for Spring gardening, are all perfectly hardy, and 
they surpass in variety of tint, diversity of form and brilliancy of colour the subjects used in the Summer Garden. 
Immediately the exotics have been removed in-doors, 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, Snow-
