MICHELL'S BULBS FOR ROCK-GARDENS 
The varieties of bulbs listed below will give a finished touch to the rock-garden. They do not require any more treatment than that given 
other rock plants, and their beauty furnishes a contrast that is entirely different. By careful selection in planting they can be had in bloom 
f rom early spring until the alpines and other perennial plants commence flowering. They are perfectly hardy, long lived, and of easiest culture.
