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 
from early spring until the alpines and other perennial plants commence flowering. They are perfectly hardy, long lived, and of easiest culture
