Note: The following listing of plants consists of extra early 
blooming perennials that lend charm to all bulb plantings. Bulb 
beds may be bordered with Polemonium Blue Pearl, Mertensia 
Virginica, Phlox Divaricata Laphami and Myosotis Palustris Sem- 
pertlorens. When bulbs are planted irregularly or informally, 
the groups may be broken up with plantings of Doronicum, the 
Dwarf Bleeding Heart, and Mertensia. 
All of these plants are April and May flowering. They are as 
much a part of the spring garden as are the bulbs.
