undisturbed to establish themselves. For bowl and pot culture 
we recommend the cultivated bulbs. The war freventhi; our

BARR’S SPECIAL. SEED EOR GRASS PATHS AND BORDERS. 
A charming feature in wcll-Iaid-out Spring gardens arc close velvety grass walks. They are soft 
to walk upon, restful to the eye, and provide a delightful contrast to the colours in the flower border. 
Broad bands of green grass separating the gravel path from the flower border are a great improvement to 
a garden. Sow in September, per lb. 2/9.
