NATURALIZING DAFFODILS 
One of the finest things that can be done 
with 0 piece of open, waste land is to plant it 
broadcast with hundreds 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, spill¬ 
ing them irregularly and planting the bulbs 
where they fall. It will take several years to 
achieve the full value of a naturalistic plant¬ 
ing, and the Daffodils should be left entirely 
undisturbed during that period. The foliage 
should never be cut off, but allowed to ripen 
ond wither awoy naturally. 
If the ground is fairly moist and shady, an 
interplanting of Mertensia is extremely effec¬ 
tive, and the new Anchusa myosotidiflora is 
also a very beautiful plant to combine with 
naturalizing Daffodils.
