Summer-Flowering Bulbs and Roots 53 
while plants like the Peruvian daffodil and 
the Mexican Star-of-Bethlehem may go 
into a border in exactly the same way that 
our native daffodil or narcissus would. 
And the little zephyr flowers may be em- 
ployed to make an excellent edging for 
just such a border. 
It is with summer-flowering bulbs just 
as it is with every other kind of thing: 
they should be planted in masses to get 
the best, and the right, effect in a border 
— or else they should be planted in groups 
here and there in the midst of shrubbery. 
The thing to avoid is the appearance of 
artificiality, wherever they may be — and 
the bed, of whatever form or shape.
