NATIVE BULBS FOR ROCK GARDENS 
ALLIUM 
A large family of bulbs that has until recently 
been little known. However, through the efforts 
of The American Horticultural Society and from 
the many articles appearing frequently in their 
official bulletin, “The National Horticultural 
Magazine,’’ a great deal of interest in this group 
of bulbs has been aroused. The flowers are borne 
in large umbels and are very beautiful, the blooms 
often being fragrant. Clumps of a dozen or more 
bulbs will form pleasing patches of color in the 
border. Excellent for naturalizing or for the 
rock garden. Once established, no further care 
is required and in a short time will form large 
colonies.
