NATURALIZING DAFFODILS 
One of the finest things that can be done with a piece 
of open, waste land is to plant it broadcast with hun¬ 
dreds of Daffodil bulbs. While they will not endure 
complete shade, any open, semi-shaded area will suit 
them, and they will riot with the utmost freedom in a 
sloping meadow, particularly at the sides of streams or 
small lakes. 
When Daffodils are to be naturalized, they should not 
be planted in regular rows or at even distances apart. 
The best thing is to carry a basket of bulbs over the 
ground, spilling them irregularly and planting the bulbs 
where they fall. It will take several years to achieve 
the full value of a naturalistic planting, and the Daffodils 
should be left entirely undisturbed during that period. 
The foliage should never be cut off, but allowed to ripen 
and wither away naturally. 
If the ground is fairly moist and shady, an inter¬ 
planting of mertensia is extremely effective, and the 
new Anchusa myosotidiflora is also a very beautiful 
plant to combine with naturalizing Daffodils. 
MIXTURE FOR NATURALIZING

Poeticus, Poetaz, and Trumpet. $5 per 100; $45 per 1000; $400 per 10,000.
