It’s Time to Order Bulbs for Spring Qardens 
W HEN the snow begins to disappear in Spring, the Snowdrops, the Scillas, and the Crocus 
come forth to greet the gardener who wisely planned—and planted—the bulbs in early fall. 
The floral pageant continues to increase in beauty as the Daffodils and Jonquils join the 
parade, followed by the early Tulips, and finally ending in June with the Darwins’ gorgeous 
display. The gardener should remember that fall is the only safe time for planting Dutch Bulbs, 
and the best time for Madonna (Candidum) Lilies and many hardy perennials and rock-plants. 
Fall is the ideal time to transplant large evergreens, flowering shrubs, and to make a “living 
fence” of Japanese Yew and similar low-growing evergreens. So we say, do not delay until Spring. 
Plants get a good start before the ground freezes if set this fall.
