The Finest for Beds and Borders 
(S rhi Ait ion 
Truly a precious source of scent and color, at a time when other 
flowers are still too shy or fearful to venture forth. No other plant 
in early spring displays such an abundance of jubilant tones of red, 
rose, lavender, purple, blue, yellow, and orange. No other spring 
plant enriches our parks and gardens with a heart-lifting fragrance 
so soon after the snow is gone. No other plant requires so little 
coaxing to give its all, either in the garden or in the house. As 
house plants, in bowls with bulb fiber or on glasses filled with pure 
water or in good old-fashioned clay pots and pans with garden soil, 
its "rising spire," colorful and fragrant, effects a rare and perfect 
quality of delight.
