HARBINGERS OF SPRING. 
U P TO the time that we went to press it was consid¬ 
ered by the bulb importers that there would be none 
of these cheery snow-breakers that gladden the hearts 
of garden lovers every spring. 
It has been our extreme good fortune, however, through 
our connections with American bulb growers who have 
specialized on these items for their own enjoyment, to be 
able to obtain a splendid assortment of these glorious 
Harbingers of Spring, and we present with pride a list 
that is quite complete.
