DAFFODILS FOR THE ROCK GARDEN. 
The growing popularity of small Daffodils suitable for Rockwork has led us to class 
together under a separate heading those which are comparatively easy to grow. The 
smallest of them require a little extra care and attention as to soil and position, and every 
bulb may not flower the first season, as some of the varieties are collected in Spam and 
Portugal before being fully ripened. 
If happy where planted they will soon become naturalised, and such species as 
Cvclamineus. Triandrus and Hoop Petticoat will ripen seed abundantly and sow them¬ 
selves, as at the R.H.S. Gardens at Wisley, where also many interesting natural hybrids 
between the various species have made their appearance. 
On account of their earliness the position they should occupy must be as sheltered 
as possible The Hoop Petticoats (Bulbocodium) and Cyclamineus prefer a damp light 
peaty soil- Gracilis, Queen of Spain, and W. P. Milner thrive well in light moist ground, 
deeply cuitivated, but containing no manure- Triandrus should be grown in a fine, 
well drained gritty soil, mixed with a little peat, and partially shaded if possible. Minor 
and Minimus prefer a light loamy soil containing plenty of humus ; well rotted turf is the 
most suitable. . , ,, , ... 
Light dwarf rock plants may be allowed to carpet the bulbs, and we cap specially 
recommend Hutchinsia alpina and Thymus lanuginosus for this purpose. 
We can supply roots of Hutchinsia alpina in the autumn at 4/6 per dozen. 
Thymus lanuginosus, 4/6 per doz.
