Bulbs for Naturalisation 
I N 
PARKS, WOODLANDS, WILD GARDENS, 
SHRUBBERIES, &c. 
The increasing practice of planting bulbs extensively in Parks, Woodlands, and small Plantations, induces us to 
draw more special attention to this form of natuyal gardening. Daffodils, Narcissus, Snowdrops, Crocus, Scillas, &c., 
growing amid such surroundings are seen at their best, and have a charm which is not to be found in the more con- 
ventional beds and borders of tbe cultivated garden. They can be left undisturbed for years, and will rapidly increase 
in numbers as they become naturalised, so that each Spring enhances the general effect. The following varieties 
will be found to be the best for this purpose. We shall be pleased to quote special prices for larger quantities.
