Spring Flowering Plants, 
FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 
Many of the dwarfer Spring-flowering plants mav be utilised with charming effect to form the ground-work for beds of Daffodils, 
Narcissus, Tulips, Hyacinths, &c. Not only does their foliage hide the bareness of the ground during the winter months but they 
may be so arranged as to blend harmoniously with the bulbs amongst which they are planted. A bed of late Daffodils for example 
with the blue Forget-me-not as a ground work, produces a delightful effect ; White Arabis with Scarlet Tulips towering above it is 
exceedingly striking. Blood Red Wallflowers planted with Tall Yellow Tulips make a good combination, in fact any number of charming 
and varied arrangements may be made and the effect is always better than where the bulbs only are planted. The following are a few 
of the earliest flowering varieties, for complete list, see our Herbaceous Plant Catalogue.
