(oh GT in Uout Sparing Garden! 
Spring-flowering bulbs are just about the most satis- 
factory things that you can plant. They give you plenty 
of cheerful color outdoors just at the time when you 
think you cannot bear another dull, gloomy day, and 
they require no care in the way of weeding, dusting 
and spraying. The forethought necessary to see that 
they get planted in the fall is all that is needed. After 
their glorious burst of bloom is over, spring bulbs then 
gracefully retire from the picture, yielding their space 
to the annuals that you may choose to replace them, or 
to the perennials and shrubs that need more time to 
come into full growth and bloom. 
This catalogue offers plenty of variety in the way of Tulips and 
‘Narcissus, with the charming miniature bulbs to be planted in great 
drifts. As a foretaste of spring, we also offer many very fine bulbs 
for indoor growing. Thus it is possible to enjoy spring bulbs for 
several months of the year.
