HARDY FERNS 
« 
These are very useful for growing close to 
houses and in corners which are too shady for other 
plants. Most ferns do well in a light soil containing 
much vegetable matter, and it is always best to work 
a considerable amount of leaf mould into the soil 
of a fern bed.

TULIPS 
There are no bulbs which make such a rich and 
gorgeous display of blossoms with so little care and 
cultivation as do Tulips. Their early blooming, 
pretty cup-like flowers, gay colors, and brilliant 
effects make them spring favorites. They can be cul¬ 
tivated very easily, only requiring good, common gar¬ 
den soil to grow them to perfection. Set out any time 
after September 1st till ground freezes too hard, 4 
inches apart. After being once started, Tulips will 
continue to bloom every spring without further atten¬ 
tion. 
PAPER WHITE NARCISSUS 
These have been favorites for ages as a decora¬ 
tion for the living room during the coldest winter

form (about 2 weeks) then bring into light. Large 
size bulbs, 50c per dozen, medium size, 35c per doz. 
CROCUS

earliest bulbs to 
flower, are most ef¬ 
fective when plant¬ 
ed in masses on the 
lawn, or arranged 
in rows in the bor¬ 
der. They are per¬ 
fectly hardy, and 
may be left in the 
ground for three or 
four years after

ing disturbed.
