FOREWORD 
The strengthening of spirit we ever find assured to us in the recurrent 
springtime resurrection of our gardens is far too important an aid to 
steadfastness of mind in these anxious times to be permitted to lapse. 
Pending the dawn of a better day there will be necessary retrenchments 
to consider, but let us make our major cuts rather upon those activities, 
far too numerous in this supposedly enlightened day, which tend to waste 
or cheapen our national heritage, than upon those which ennoble it, and 
in which many will find inspiration to greater service, while many like¬ 
wise must depend on them for their livelihood and a means toward the 
performance of their own duty for which they have not elsewhere to look. 
I trust its writer will not take amiss my quotation of this fine sentence 
from a courageous Over-Seas catalogue: ..“Beauty is as vital to life as its 
more material supports, and more than ever so in these trying days, when 
our gardens and flowers provide refreshing and healing relaxation from 
mental strain and anxiety.” The ensuing list of bulbs is an especially 
joyous one, including many superb subjects rarely or not at all encount¬ 
ered as yet in other American lists:
