Eleven Hardy Bulbs that Iflo-w-eA. in MoAclt 
HEN the shrubbery is bare, and every landscape is a de- 
* ’ pressing vista of sombre dreariness—when spring is a 
promise rather than a reality—then these eleven brave little 
flowers bring cheer to the winter-weary soul. 
Neither snow nor wind, nor rain can deter them from ap- 
pearing on schedule time. Like mischievous little coquettes, 
they wave their cheerful colors to you from under the brown 
shrubbery or over the edge of the rockery. 
Plant them once, and year after year they will come up every 
March to say, "Here we are, happy to make you happy!” 
For best effects allow seven to nine bulbs for each 
square foot to be planted.
