BARR’S DAFFODIL CATALOGUE, 1919. 
Hardy Spring-flowering Carpeting and 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 
are more beautiful than masses of the gold, white, and blue of the Alyssum, Arabia, and Aubrietia associated with 
breadths of Daffodils, Scillas, Muscaris, etc., or Forest me-Nots {Myosoiis) and Golden Polyanthuses mingling' 
with Daffodils or with gorgeous and stately Darwin Tulips. The Acsenas, Arenarla balearloa, Hernlarla 
glabra, Mossy Saxifragas, and Thymes make beautiful carpets 6f foliage for the smaller and daintier spring 
bulbous flowers, such as Narcissus Trlandrus, Chlonodoxas, Small Crocus Species, etc. 
We have also included in this list a few larger>growing plants specially recommended for the Hardy Flower 
Border to continue the display of bloom from Spring to early Summer.
