The tleralds of Spring 
The finding in bloom of the “First Flowers of Spring’ is a great event and one of the 
genuine delights of life. No garden, however small, should be without the showy Chionodoxas, 
charming Scillas, lovely Snowdrops, and dainty Grape Hyacinths. Do not miss this opportunity 
of delight—plant as many bulbs as space permits. They take very little room and, once planted, 
they reappear and bloom each spring.

7 These gay “Heralds of Spring” will grow in many places—in the lawn, flower borders, rock-

GRAPE HYACINTHS (Muscari) 
The Grape Hyacinth is a favorite among our early spring-flowering bulbs. Who is not 
familiar with these delicate spires of blue that loom up like so many fairy sceptres? You can 
make the most beautiful edgings and groups with them; they look charming in the rock-garden 
and so pretty beneath trees and shrubs. Muscari require very little attention and flower 
abundantly for a long period; they can be left for years undisturbed to return each spring with 
more and larger flowers. 100 for

SNOWDROPS (Galanthus nivalis)

nice effect they must be planted thickly under trees and shrubs and in rockeries. Planted 
in groups, Snowdrops will soon make intimate colonies. Once planted they remain 499 for 
for years. 12 for 85c —-25 for $1.60 $6.00
