BULBS AND HERBACEOUS PLANTS 
In the South one may have flowers 
from bulbs and herbaceous plants every 
month in the year. That this class of 
plants has been generally overlooked by 
gardeners is, we believe, because so few 
people know about the many kinds avail- 
able. No other class of plants will give so 
much color and bloom with so little ef- 
fort. For best effects these plants should 
not be planted as isolated specimens or 
in long thin lines but preferably should 
be planted in groups and clumps in front 
of taller shrubs and evergreens. Here 
they add color to what might otherwise 
be a dull spot in the garden. 
Some of the kinds listed bloom only 
once each year. Some others bloom al- 
10 
most continuously. Many of them are 
hardy anywhere in the United States. 
Some few require slight protection even 
in the South. While many rare and un- 
usual kinds are offered here, they are all 
kinds that may be grown with reasonable 
care. Some of them will grow with no 
care whatever. To have flowers the easy 
way, Plant Bulbs and Herbaceous Plants.
