Same Remarks ctout Gall Bulla. 
ALL BULBS include those which are set out in 
the fall, left all winter, to flower in the spring. 
These are commonly Tulips, Hyacinths, Narcissi 
(Daffodils), Crocuses, Muscari, etc., and we will say 
a few things about them that may be helpful, men- 
tioning the different kinds in approximately the 
order of their blooming. 
GALANTHUS (Snowdrops). These 
often bloom while snow is still on 
the ground, They do well in sun or 
semi-shade and will add much to 
Y your rock garden. Plant 2 inches 
l deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. 
GALANTHUS * 
CROCUSES. These may be set out right Y y 
in your lawn, in small clusters. They 
bloom very early, and should be set : 
about 2 inches deep. They like partial \ | 
shade but don’t insist upon it. The 
_ lawnmower may be used without hurt- | 
ing the crocuses if their foliage has CROCUSES 
‘died down. They will bloom each year for several years. 

. April and last quite well, making fine 
CHIONODOXA. These bloom the same 
time as Crocuses, with showy blue 
flowers. Fine for rock gardens, Plant 
3 inches deep and 3 inches apart. 
SCILLA. Siberica 
blossoms early, 
Cam panulata 
later. Plant Sz- 
berica 3 inches 
deep and 3 inches 
apart, Campanu- 
lata the same 
depth but 6 
inches apart. Sz- 

berica looks best eee 
planted in 
CAMPANULATA masses. 
MUSCARI (Grape Hyacinths). So called \, 
because the pointed spikes of small — 
bell-like blossoms resemble inverted 
bunches of grapes. They bloom in 
V 
MUSCARI 
borders and brightening rock gardens. 


“are usually grown in a deepish dish 

HYACINTHS. Outdoors, plant exhibi- 
tion size bulbs 6 to 7 inches deep and 
8 inches apart; bedding size 6 inches 
deep and 6 inches apart. Indoors, one 
exhibition size bulb in a 5 or 6 inch 
pot. 

HYACINTHS 
NARCISSI or DAFFODILS. Let’s not go into the question of 
which is a Narcissus and which a Daf- 
fodil, because common usage and 
scientific correctness differ. Call them 
what you will, they are at their best 
when set out in groups of a dozen or 
more, and they are frequently used for 
naturalizing. Plant the bulbs as early 
as possible in the fall, 4 to 8 inches 
| TRUMPET deep and 6 to 10 inches apart. Paper- 
whites are for indoor culture only, and 



filled with pebbles and water. Keep 
them in the dark until plenty of roots 
have developed, then move to a light 
cool room. Of the outdoor types, the 
Trumpets have the longest trumpets, 
as long as or Jonger than the perianth
