HERALDS 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, dainty Grape Hyacinths and cheery Crocus. 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.
