SPRING FLOWERING BULBS—Continued. 
All bulbous plants, however, cannot be satisfacto¬ 
rily used in this way. A garden Tulip or a garden 
Hyacinth planted in the grasps appears as much out. of 
place as a Dock in a trim parterre; but all the Narciss 1 
look better in the grass than in a border, especially the 
Poet's Narcissus and the Jonquil. Crocuses are more 
attractive when planted in this way than in formal 
beds or as edgings, although they harmonize less per¬ 
fectly with their surroundings than Scillas, all of which 
look their best when allowed to run wild. Many bulbs 
last longer and increase more rapidly when left to them¬ 
selves in this way than when planted in borders, from 
which it is often necessary to remove them. It is 
essential, however, that all these plants should lie 
allowed to thoroughly mature and ripen their foliage. 
They cannot, therefore, be planted in grass, which is 
cut early in the season, and even if this were not the 
case, such plants springing from closely cut turf look 
less at home and less natural than when they grow 
among tall grasses or the wild plants which are found 
along the borders of woods or on rocky banks. These 
bulbous plants delight almost universally in deep, rich 
soil, and if they are to be naturalized, and are expected 
to (lower year after year, and to increase, it should be 
provided for them when the bulbs are first planted. If 
this is done, no further care or attention need ever be 
paid to them, and every year when they bloom the 
fortunate possessor of a garden in which such plants 
thrive will rejoice with a new and ever-increasing joy.
